Contract in hand, it's time for 49ers' Brock Purdy to be Mr. Eminent, not 'Mr. Irrelevant'

Brock Purdy’s relevance hasn’t been in question for some time. But after finally and deservedly joining the ranks of the NFL’s top-compensated quarterbacks Friday afternoon, it’s time for the former “Mr. Irrelevant” to evolve into Mr. Eminent – who may or may not be a distant relative of Mr. Unlimited. (Sorry, onward.)

For the past three seasons, the San Francisco 49ers have had a roster full of Tiffany players surrounding a Costco quarterback, which is not shade intended at Purdy – if you’ve ever found a high-quality bargain at the wholesale warehouse, then you know.
