Former NFL MVP Cam Newton known as Super Bowl quarterback Brock Purdy of the San Francisco 49ers the “10th-best player on the team,” piling on to his earlier criticism of the present MVP candidate. (Watch the video under.)
In feedback on his “4th & 1” present posted to X Wednesday, the ex-Carolina Panthers quarterback dismissed Purdy as merely a “game manager” and never a “game-changer.”
Purdy, the ultimate choose within the 2022 NFL draft, led the 49ers as a rookie to the NFC championship sport final season. This season because the full-time starter, he threw for 4,280 yards and 31 touchdowns. He had a clutch second half within the NFC convention championship victory over Detroit to succeed in the Super Bowl towards the Kansas City Chiefs.
But Newton has not been impressed.
“I’ve never said Brock Purdy was trash; what I did say is that Brock Purdy is a game manager,” he stated. “That’s not hate, that’s just what I feel to be facts. But I still reserve the right to say this: To be labeled a game-changer, Brock Purdy has to be the best player on the offensive side of the ball. And that’s not the case.”
Newton known as working again Christian McCaffrey, a former Panthers teammate, one of the best offensive risk on the Niners.
“I ain’t recanting shit,” Newton stated in reference to related remarks he’s made. “And if you really want to just be honest, if you add in the defensive talent, and you add in the offensive talent, Brock Purdy is the 10th-best player on this team.”
“OK, cool, did he have a great game?” Newton requested rhetorically. “Yes! Has he been playing out of his mind? Yes! Is he a quarterback that’s hot? Yes! But he’s still the 10th-best player on his team.”
In a snippet posted to X Thursday, Newton requested his viewers to cease saying he was hating on Purdy, clarified that he thought Purdy was “good” and stated he hoped that Purdy wins the Super Bowl.
Newton, who final performed in 2021, isn’t any stranger to stirring the pot.
On a podcast in 2022, he complained about girls “who can’t cook” and “don’t know when to be quiet” and might’t “cater to a man’s needs.”
