One X user supports Puka Nacua, “Luka isn’t wrong. No QB making over $50,000,000 per year has won a SB. Brock proved in 2024 that he needs a lot of help around him to compete for a championship.”

Another fan noticed, “The amount of Whiners fans in the comments offended by the truth 😭”

A fan commented, “Puka is not wrong.”

An X user commented, “I mean i thought puka was a smart guy but apparently not. How does he think about qb who has lead a team to a superbowl in this day and age is only getting 43-45 mil a year. Market say it will be closer to 55mil"

To everyone, Brock Purdy earns $5.346 million according to Spotrac.
