That's an interesting thought experiment.
They're probably not in a much different place this year, still dealing with the fallout of that catastrophic Trey Lance trade/pick. But if they pay Purdy, which all indications are they will, they might be better off moving forward. Even if Darnold isn't the Justin Jefferson version of Darnold.
The Trey Lance fiasco doesn't get near enough pub in the NFL zeitgeist.
Chalk it up to another team imploding because of Mahomes.
