I wonder why, Nick

[@jeffersonhighsmith7757]

I'm worried for Nick's safety if the Niners crush Nick's precious Mahomes in the SB. Maybe we should all pray for someone in the AFC to knock them off before it comes to that?

[@jeffersonhighsmith7757]

Hey Nick, predict who will be the higher-paid player once Purdy gets his next contract (barring injury): CMC or Purdy. I say Purdy. What do you say? Why pay a player more if he's less valuable?

[@retributionpics]

Nick is holding onto the three game skid for dear life. The narrative that purdy is unable to win without Deebo or Trent is just nonsense. There was a bad weather game, a concussion game, and terrible defensive play from the niners defense throughout the entire three game losing streak. Purdy had his struggles during the stretch but there was much more to it.

[@Carlos559Caps]

[@learn905]

Wasnt there one with a missed field goal

[@rhmayer1]

@@learn905 Yes. They lost the Browns game (the 1st loss of the 3) by 2 points. The kicker missed TWO FG's. So no question Brock didn't lose that one at all. Brock played well in all 3 games except throwing INT's right after very hard sacks that, after the Vikings game (2nd game of the 3 losses, lost by 5 points with Brock continuing to move the ball decently despite the 2 INT's) turned out after the game to be a concussion. The protocol prevented Brock from having a full week of practice going into the Bengals game. The 3rd loss, against the Bengals, again saw Brock's performance take a dip after a hard sack that I think was another mini-concussion, and he then threw a couple INT's. But again afterwards he was moving the ball OK, still playing decently. That was a 14 point loss, but Brock closed the gap a few times. It was a 14 point gap for less than 8 minutes of the whole game. Btw, the Vikings game saw Kurt Cousins' career best performance I believe (best I've ever seen) and the Bengals game was at Joe Burrow's peak performance of this season - between his injuries. The 3 losses were more due to poor 49er defensive play (poor tackling, playing too soft against receivers all game long, dumb penalties, etc.) than due to Brock's performance. Nick keeps blaming Brock for those losses. It's obvious Nick didn't watch those 3 games.

[@pclifton4]

David wasn't wrong though - Lamar's 10 yard split: 1.55 Purdy's 10 yard split: 1.54 Brees' career passer rating: 98.4 Brees best year passer rating: 115.7 Purdy's career passer rating: 115.4 Purdy's passer rating this year: 119 (on pace for 5th best in history) Let's not forget this dude just turned 23 years old and has played 19 regular season games as a starter, 14 with a training camp as a starter, and was coming off a devastating injury to his throwing arm in the NFCCG that they weren't sure would be healed in time for the regular season. Not to mention the whole Trey Lance situation during camp. I mean say what you want about his weapons and all but it's not exactly a wild statement to say that he's actually going to get better at playing QB with more time and experience and less adversity. Nick talks about Brock like he's some finished product with absolutely no room for growth and that it's all downhill from here as though the hammer of reality will be coming along soon to demolish him. Still waiting for that Nick.

[@Eujoung]

In 1981, Joe Montana went 13-3 and had 3 bad games. Was 1-2 to start the season. And later lost to Browns in a tight 15-12 game. He would later win the Super Bowl. It took Joe Montana 10 seasons. 10 SEASONS and 3 Super Bowl wins for Joe Cool to win his First MVP. Despite having 3 and arguably 4 seasons with MVP numbers. In 1987, Joe Montana played 13 games 10-1 record as a Starter with 31 pass tds 13 ints 1 rush td. SF went 13-2 in total (shortened season). You might say 13 games disqualified him. But John Elway won MVP playing 12 games an 8-3-1 record and 19 pass tds 12 ints and 4 rush tds. And later got the brakes beat off him from the Washington Redskins in the Super Bowl. The Dot Purdy hate has happened before. It was a mistake then and it's a mistake now.

[@Eujoung]

Oh btw 1987 was also the year Jerry Rice had 23 total tds.

[@matthewnewell7766]

Well said The Kid(Purdy)is living his Dream can not hate on that

[@vincenttalley5938]

Nick only has himself to blame for being in this position. There would be no huge attention on him & his takes on Purdy if he had just given the guy SOME flowers earlier this year. Instead, his literal quote in the off-season was "The Purdy downfall is inevitable". He's bet against him at every opportunity & the FEW times he's complimented him, he sounds like he has a gun to his head & is reading from a cue card. That's why people harp on him so much for his Purdy takes. We're just continually amazed by how stingy he is with giving Brock ANY credit.

[@fray3dendsofsanity]

Exactly. He was way too anti Purdy right away. Reality bit him and he’s sticking with his horrible take by reducing him to “game manager”

[@phantoMpikachu]

but it's not that he gives purdy literally zero credit. saying "he's not the best player on the team/in the entire league" is not the same as giving him zero credit. why don't people understand his take on purdy is just the same take everyone has on Tua

[@vincenttalley5938]

@@phantoMpikachu But the problem is that he gives way too little credit & has consistently had a a smug negative attitude towards him. Most of what Purdy has done, Nick has reduced to “it’s all bc of the Avengers”. He’s reducing what Brock is doing. E.g. he had a perfect passer rating & has been leading in QBR, Passer Rating for most of the season, but he barely cracked the top 10 of Nick’s QB ranking until the Eagles game.

[@phantoMpikachu]

@@vincenttalley5938 i'm not reading into the qb rankings then when it's got two college qb on it lol i'm taking that as a bit that's clearly meant to be a joke. and if you exclude the college qbs that would've put purdy top 10 basically all year. i think the reason purdy's stats have to be minimized *a little* is because he has the stars to say he's essentially the best qb in history, and i'd assume even you don't think he's that. it's not like people are minimizing Purdy's accomplishments to say he's not good at all. it's that while he's playing well, a lot of the mileage he's getting is guys running down the field wide open, or taking a pass at the LOS and turning it into a 20 yard gain

[@phantoMpikachu]

@@vincenttalley5938and to be clear, i think purdy is one of the smartest qbs in the league with some of the best fundamentals. i'm probably way higher on purdy than nick is. but i agree with nick that he's not the MVP because you have to at least be the best player on your team for that, and I don't think he is.

What I hate about discussions involving Montana, is that somehow, it is never brought up that in a three-year span (1985, 86, and 87) the Niners were one and done in the playoffs. In those three losses, Montana threw for a combined 52% completion with ZERO TDs and 4 INTs. That's right, for three straight playoff games, Joe went without a TD. It doesn't mean Joe wasn't great, but it means it's definitely OK if Purdy or anyone else has some down moments, because it happens to everyone.

[@jayjonah1227]

They always fall back on how Purdy lost 3 in a row, but what nobody mentions is how PFF ranks the 49ers offensive line TWENTIETH! When you take the best lineman away from that squad (Trent Williams), then that number plummets. Like Chris said, CMC wasn't able to do much either. EVERY QB needs an O-Line.

[@frankjiang1857]

Some combination? The WHOLE point that Nick is making is that Purdy has had CMC AND Deebo AND Kittle AND Aiyuk AND Trent Williams his entire career (except for that 3 game stretch). Guess who also looked like an MVP when he had that? Jimmy Garoppalo. How has he done WITHOUT that amazing group of players? Not very well. It's crazy watching what I guess is 49ers' fans just ignore this whole point. I mean this is why the 49ers are super bowl favorites. You guys should be happy that you have this amazing cast of players and that Purdy can play his part as a good quarterback. That doesn't mean he's the MVP. I mean if you were to have a player get injured, who would you rather it be Purdy or Trent Williams? Purdy or CMC? Given the disparity in your starters and backups at those positions it's very likely you'd rather have Purdy being the one that's hurt over Williams or CMC. That's because in the Shanahan system Williams and CMC are more irreplaceable than Purdy is. How is that the MVP?

It's really too early to crown him the next Montana, but the kid has talent. We just need to sit back and see how much more he can bring to the game as he gains experience.

[@pyrovania]

It is a stylistic comparison not a "who is better" comparison. Purdy plays QB in a similar style to Montana. Accuracy, footwork, timing throws, cool under pressure and kind of undersized. Montana was tall enough but sometimes weighed 185 pounds. Lamar Jackson and Colin Kaepernick play a similar style (and had the same offensive coordinator) but Lamar is obviously much better.

[@seasonticketsholder1877]

Chuckling at Tom Rathman's contributions is the most egregious, "I never played football at any level," indicator Nick Wright provided to date. He has provided many.

[@BNA_Est.1988]

“He wasn’t phenomenal in college.” Montana was a national champion with a clutch performances during his time at Notre Dame. Chris just be yappin’

[@trevorkelly9270]

I love the grandma message. 😂😂😂 dying here

[@darthbaevid]

David Lombardi is a saint.

[@LordCyler]

Nick when Purdy loses his entire team: "See! See!" Nick when Mahomes loses his TE: "That loss doesn't count"

[@TB-ni4ur]

Has Tom Greene ever even seen Montana play?

[@mikeloamzzz9593]

David Lombardi … def need to do an at mention on the 10 yard burst

[@joeharris4353]

Dude, brocks 40 wasnt special. His 10 yard split definitely was.. like top 8% of all qbs ever in the combine nick..

[@joshuacitarella9898]

Nicks wifes grandmother is my favorite person on this show, after Wildes.

[@iBamboozler]

See man. Stop pissing granny off 😂😂😂

[@mark_jacobs6970]

Why are trashing David Lambordi like that lmao 🤣

[@someotherdewd]

Look at the 10 yard splits

[@TreyPuga]

DAVE LOMBARDI!! Say his name! Nick- that’s a true analyst right there, maybe you might learn something. lol, I love Dave championing Brock!

[@gabrylsisneros4791]

Whose the next Steve Young according to nick? Sam Darnold? Lmao The EASIEST way to tell someone is wrong is because they start getting louder when they start talking

[@sacpike]

I am a huge Niner fan, but absolutely love this show and appreciate Nick Wright. I disagree with his opinion on Purdy, but I also find it highly entertaining and excellent content.

[@Aaron-dm9om]

Lmao I’m so glad he called Lombardi out 😭😭

[@blaketindle4703]

Jerry is trolling Nick lol

[@gcman1111]

It's also said that about half way though the season brock would feel normal with arm strength back, per nick mullins who had the same surgery. That was after the bye week marked that point.

[@CookieMonster-zn8oc]

Joe Montana had a stacked team in 1984. That team went 18-1 W-L. Their only loss was a 20-17 loss to the Steelers. That '84 49ers team was four points from a perfect season.

[@joshuadesautels]

He also had a stacked team in 1988. That team went...wait for it...10-6.

[@maxkeebs4425]

How is Nick Wright downplaying the words of JERRY RICE?!?!?? These sports talk show hosts who specialize in hot takes are full of themselves.

[@jeffersonhighsmith7757]

Did I miss that? What I saw & heard was Nick not having the b@lls to even acknowledge Rice's comments, much less respond. I mean, he addressed their substance, while totally ignoring Rice as a person who exists on the planet.

[@hochathanfire0001]

Nick crawling out of his skin after all the appreciations 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

[@Jkeebz]

I'm starting to think Wildes instigates these Purdy comments behind the scenes just to get Nick fired up. Haha

[@Em022]

The greatest WR to play the game has an opinion Nick Wright: Ayckshuallly

[@tigerjonn]

Purdy is fierce like a tiger, and smart like a chimp and mobile like a cat...

[@to6562]

I love that Nick thinks he knows better than the GOAT who legit played with Montana lol.

[@caseyhayes4590]

What does Jerry Rice know about football and Joe Montana? He's only the greatest to ever play his position and caught more passes from Montana than anybody.

[@KEENANALLENASMRGLASS]

You hate to see one of the greats if not the greatest lose his mind to dementia 😭

[@badcomment6353]

Get the message Nick. You don't mess with grandma. He can't handle Brock's elite play. He's unravelling and it's glorious 😂

[@Chrishagen]

Tom Rathman is the greatest fullback I ever saw. Respect for Tom.

[@austingroves5865]

Y’all make me SICK 😂 1) Joe was drafted to a 2-14 team 2) Joes first full season starting they went 13-3 and won Super Bowl 3) montanna was already a 3 time SB champ before that 89 season graphic Y’all need to STOP 😂

[@eshankhattra5724]

Nick said the Seahawks were winning the division before the season. He also said Purdy will fall off a cliff so can't trust his opinion on him

[@glennhaygood]

few years ago 49ers were a quarter away from winning the superbowl with jimmy G. people are way too quick to give people trophies these days...

[@Neo-cj1im]

Jerry rice is the greatest wr of all time and actually played with Joe why wouldn’t Jerry rice know

[@DigontoZahid-lc7kt]

Jerry rice certainly knows more football than nick fecking wright...

[@ramony_4084]

think we can all say nick just hates brock lmfao, its pretty clear. Rice compares brock and rightfully so, brock has been nothing short of spectacular to start his career and nick can never give the guy props. Look at this clip, he sat there like a little kid pouting because he didnt get ice cream lmfao like calm on

[@BlakeHardeman]

If anything Jerry Rice is the best person to say who is the next Joe Montana.
