Brad, you, David Lombardi and Greg Cosell are right on.. the criticism being leveled at Brock Purdy is ridiculous. I think he should still be MVP his efficiency is 2nd only to Prime Payton Manning in NFL history!

Agreed, but it is difficult to imagine the voters discounting what happened on Monday night. There are two games left for everyone so let's see how it plays out. Lamar may have a bad game and Purdy may ball out like he usually does. The MVP race seems to be a week by week thing.

Not that long ago, he wasn't so great at rolling left - he has improved. His arm has improved. We're seeing weaknesses drop off one-by-one and the exciting thing is he was ALREADY performing at a high level *with* those (perceived) weaknesses. As long as he stays healthy, it's going to be really fun to watch him over the next few years.

Brad, you are becoming the official aggregator of 49ers content pearls from around the world. Thank you. While I knew that Brock is an amazing quarterback, understood several new dimensions from this interview with Greg Cossell. The world talks about Lamar as the de facto MVP after the last game, when he was setup with short field positions by his defense. If anyone deserves credit on that team, it is their defense, not Lamar. He is a great player, but doesn't have the MVP numbers this year. On the other hand, Brock had been a consistent performer. Demolished pretty much all of the top NFC teams. And all the talk about him being the 4th or 5th valuable player in his team is trash. When he had a bad game we lost. How can a 4th or 5th valuable player having a bad game impacts the results so much? He should put up his usual performances in the next 2 games and we'll see.

I totally agree with this guy. I thought I was the only person who felt the same way. The media controls the narrative, and their narrative is love a QB when they’re good, kick em when they have a bad game. And the average football viewer who doesn’t really know the game, they go along with it. Greg is absolutely correct in my opinion. And I heard what Warner said and I love what he said too. I think it’s safe to say that if you were to look back at the great QBs over the last 25 to 30 years, you’ll see that all good QBs make bad throws. Some end up intercepted….and some completed. When they’re intercepted people say that the qb is no good. But if they’re completed then people praise them to no end. Purdy has done so well. He hasn’t had a game like this yet. It won’t be his last. Brady had seasons with 4 interception games, Kurt Warner, Peyton Manning too. He had a game with 6 interceptions. It happens. There’s a reason we are all sitting on our couches or wherever as a viewer, fan, lover of the game, and the guys that are on TV are playing the game…..cause they’re good, great, phenomenal. That’s why they’re pros. Love football. Love the Niners. I believe in Purdy and this team. If you wana be a hater, and have nothing nice to say, say nothing….or join Paraons podcast I guess?

This is a good take by Cosell. Couldn't agree more with him. The only time the offense really struggled was a portion of that third quarter. Otherwise, they were gashing the Ravens. With just a bit more luck, they probably put up a 40-burger and also keep their own defense off the field. That said, I like the Ravens and I think they'll be a worthy opponent in the Superbowl.

Guess what? He is still #1 in QBR lol.

[@GregThomas-h1s]

Greg Costello is one of the smartest football minds I’ve ever heard. He’s balanced and fair minded. Same in this instance. He provided good perspective. Some of these ESPN knuckleheads are all over the map. One week a guy is a superstar the next a bum. Or they are so biased that weeks of mediocre performance and they are still active no like a guy is all pro and HOF.

[@mikedown3219]

In Chase Daniels analysis, he pointed out, with the first IT, that had Kittle’s route been to the end zone the safety would have had to honour that and Deebo would have had an easy touchdown. Sometimes, it’s a bad play call, not the QB. That said I think he led Deebo a bit too much. If unsure you need to throw closer to the body and maybe down a bit. But, to me, the bigger flaw in that play was Kittle’s route. Not dissing Kittle, it might have been the play call.

[@mr.brooks9802]

He shouldn’t have thrown that ball. That’s it. It was a mistake, the safety was sitting right there. Kittle was nowhere near the end zone.

[@sarshares03]

i think the kittle route needed to be deeper but i also think he threw deebo too late. the play before the deebo INT was thrown late too, i think it was to kittle as he slid down to catch it. brock held it the ball a bit longer than anticipating the throw like he always does.

[@mikedown3219]

“That’s it” what, because you say so? A former QB analysis it but you know better is that how it works? Watch it again. If Kittle had headed for the end zone instead of cutting his route short the safety would have had to react.

[@mr.brooks9802]

@@mikedown3219 yes, “if” he did that but he didn’t do that. So therefore, he shouldn’t have thrown the ball. We don’t know the play that was called but I know Kittle is a top tier TE. Brock said it was a bad read and the coach said it was a bad read. So I’m going with them and not Chase Daniels. Make sense?

[@Truth-is-King]

Excellent analysis!

[@donaldbrown9839]

Problem is the kid plays the position so well we forget he's only 24 in his second season as a starter. Gonna be some growing pains with BP but I got full trust in him as my favorite team's QB

[@paulyang748]

My god. A 7th rd pick QB kills it for a ton of games & had a handful of bad games & we forgot all the other games.

[@taivo5753]

I rather have a quarterback who live and die by trying to make big plays than a quarterback who checks down playing not to lose. Go big or go home.

[@chuckgiannotti990]

Cosell knows exactly what he’s talking about he watches those games and players in slow motion and sees what they can and can’t do and when he talks about Purdy or any player or game plan you can take that to the bank but if you have been watching 9ner games you can see how good this kid is hold on he is only going to get even better

[@jitendrakamdar1655]

It is Kyle who over used Brock by putting him in danger by letting him throw after the first downs and not using CMC enough . The. Best of the best QBs make mistakes when no protection for them the over hyped coach was outcoached by John Harbaugh and Kyle was making scared play calling . Why doesn’t anyone question the head coach z.. It is amazing , he gets free pass every time …. Kyle will blame everybody but himself………

[@Niex_Knox]

It is just that nobody saw his talent beforehand, so they want to bring him down. He has been the best qb we had in a while and like tge man says, 20 friggin games.

[@Catholictradition516]

Purdy will shine bright in the 49ers-Ravens II Super Bowl!

[@tylersmith5852]

It's his first full season. 11-4? Come on . Now we've seen one hit wonders before but I think the 49ers are on to something.

[@everardotorres2524]

Ask the Raven 🐦‍⬛ 😂💯💯

[@nemarec]

Very good take. I think the first interception was on the play caller just as much as the qb. Kyle is smart but lack some common in game sense. Never needed to throw on first down. It was a running down. Bmore was play coverage. It was 1st down.

[@blacklac100]

Shanahan playing Chess while everyone else playing Checkers, regardless of how that game looked, if you watched the 49ers all year you’d know that pre-snap motion and misdirection plays a huge role for them…Deebo had very few motion plays, CMC had 14 carries 100 yards…and he leads the league in carries…I honestly think Shanny didn’t wanna show to much of the offense to the Ravens with a future game vs Ravens in mind.

[@travLee7]

Time to focus on the commanders for me. Fans that don't understand how that game went last week probably won't ever understand..lol

[@geraldthorne5288]

In life when you’re doing your thing the haters will come out! No haters mean you’re not working hard enough! Take note!

[@MVPURDYSZN]

This year he's really struggled when we're down in games not just at the end he was decent in the vikings game til the end when he had the concussion of course but the browns game the Bengals game and now the ravens game game he put the team on his back and lead them to a win we need to see it to know

[@stephendanner4132]

I will listen to Cosell a million times over before I listen to all these talking heads in the morning sports talk shows! I'll listen to Cosell a hundred million times over before listening to anyone talking about Purdy in the comments section or social media! Cosell knows his Sh** WAY WAY more than you or I, or rest of the world for that matter.

[@aaronkamakaze2967]

People seem to forget this kid is 23. It's his first season as a starter. We are expecting him to get us to the SB. We gotta understand that most QBs are given a few years before that type of pressure is put on them. He's performing exceptionally well for a new QB. He has a lot to learn, but hopefully, he can pull off the ultimate season for us and can take us all the way...

[@bigbullsfan1]

He's learning people. He will adjust and go from there.
