49ers call Purdy slander ridiculous & Parsons limited at Cowboys practice | NFL | FIRST THINGS FIRST

First Things First

[lostfool]

Here's something that nobody in the comments is talking about and Nick has not even addressed. Brock Purdy literally throws his receivers open. That pass to Ayuik with double coverage is an example of throwing a receiver open. He put that ball where only Ayuik could catch it.

[fastgun]

The biggest gripe against Purdy is that he never allows his team to get into a play-from-behind situation, an accomplishment that should be a feather in his cap.

[Roswell]

Nick likes Geno Smith but you can easily say Geno only got good once he joined Pete Corrols system. You can apply his argument to every team.

[bennyespiritu]

He never has to come from behind because he’s always puttin his team ahead and I hope it never stops

[jdc]

I’m truly truly begging Nick to watch Purdy’s tape broken down by actual NFL QBs instead of just watching a 10 minute highlight of the game. Brock isn’t a massive stat but he’s literally the perfect player for this system and his decisiveness, smarts, and command of the plays makes him hard to beat.

"IT'S THE SYSTEM!" What about with Trey? "IT'S McCAFFREY!" But the Panthers. "IT'S THE DEFENSE!" 😂😂😂

[realdrew]

The thing I like the most about Purdy is that you can tell he legitimately doesn’t care what anyone thinks except his teammates.

[AlexJiroOkun]

Nick punches the air every time the 49ers win 🤣🤣🤣

[APESTOGETTER]

Are we going to ignore the Raider's game from last year? Are we going to ignore that the 49er's were behind on Week 2 in the 2nd quarter? Are we going to ignore his 2nd half performance when they played the Cowboys in the playoffs?

[bradhoward]

I love how every week, Purdy performs at a level that makes Nick’s stubborn take seem dumber and dumber.

[Big-Bearded-Alkebulanian-Man]

It’s always boggled my mind how a good player in a team sport… can be discredited because he has good coaching & good teammates accompanying him… it’s never made any sense to me.

[jackrosado]

Nick literally hates Purdy just cause he ruined his Trey Lance take

[beanie]

This has definitely turned into Nicks worst take. Very clearly waiting for one loss to say “see, not good”.

[chac]

People said Joe Montana was a system quarterback, who had weak arm that only could succeed by throwing short passes. They said that coach Walsh was responsible for his success. They said that for the first 5 years of his career.

[blindandok]

Brock was the missing catalyst. A very underrated player thriving because he's a smart football player that offers a high iq and not susceptible to ego or insubordination.
Brock simply listens to his coach on the schemes and trusts himself with the execution.I can tell from each time he has to throw the ball away that he has completely exhausted his reads. The kid is at the beginning stages for goodness sakes.This is the reward for being a 49ers faithful fan since 78.

[bythepowerofoa]

Conveniently leaving out the fact it’s literally his second year!

[dadjustwantstohavefun]

Brou is right, the problem is Nick has no way to quantify or prove his belief. You could argue Andy Reid’s system also makes every QB looks good. But we’ll never know how good or bad Mahomes will be away from Reid because it literally may never happen.

[manchie]

Feel bad for Nick...This Might be his Max Kellerman..."BRADY WILL FALL OFF A CLIFF" moment...😂😂😂😂

[leonardramirezjr]

Nick must be a joy to live with always having to be right at any cost.

[Graphix]

I love how Nick says things like this like Andy Reid doesn’t make Mahomes life easier with his scheming and playcalling. He does a lot of things that Shanahan does lol
