According to Cam Newton, Brock Purdy is the 10th best player on the 49ersJanuary 31, 2024
The San Francisco 49ers are headed to the Super Bowl for the second time in five seasons and, at least on paper, appear to be a much better team than the last time they were there.
One of the reasons for this is the play of quarterback Brock Purdy, nicknamed “Mr.” “Irrelevant” for an MVP candidate and one of the best players in the entire NFL.He’s been at or near the top of the league in many statistical categories this season and led back-to-back playoff wins this month, but many people still refuse to give him credit.
Earlier this season, former NFL QB Cam Newton said Purdy was just a “game manager,” and he doubled down on that comment by saying Purdy was simply the “10th best player.” from the 49ers roster, according to 4thand1show on Twitter.
Critics complaining about Purdy were that he only put up big numbers because he was surrounded by a ton of talent and that he didn’t lead his team to victory in an important game after falling behind late.
At the same time, no one made the same argument about Patrick Mahomes, who the Niners faced again in the Super Bowl when he beat them in Super Bowl LIV playing alongside Pro Bowlers like Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce, not to mention the stars.
tackle Orlando Brown Jr.Purdy shined in the second half of Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against the Detroit Lions, scoring 13 of 16 points to lead San Francisco to victory after trailing 24-7 at halftime and looking dead in the ‘water.
He will have the opportunity to make his detractors look really stupid by bringing the Vince Lombardi Trophy to California while preventing Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs from winning their third world championship.
