Speaking on his 4th and 1 Podcast, the Former Carolina Panthers quarterback Newton said,
“I’ve never said that Brock Purdy was trash. What I did say is that Brock Purdy is a game manager. 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. That’s not the case.”
He also added to clarify his statement,
“If you really just want to 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? 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 this team.”
Earlier, Newton has also mentioned Purdy as a “game manager” and not a “game changer” he also claimed that the 49ers are not winning because of Prudy.
As he pointed for his reasoning, he said, Tua Tagovailoa, Jared Goff, and Dak Prescott are to be labeled as the “game managers.”
Newton’s statement came when Prudy had led the 49ers to an NFC Championship Game victory and the upcoming Super Bowl 58.
In the regular season, he threw for over 4,200 yards and had 31 touchdowns. He has also been solid this postseason, completing 61.4 percent of his passes for 519 yards and two touchdowns against one interception in two games.
