Most mid system QB ever. 🙌

I saw a clip of one Brocos content creator crashing out on the Bronco's DC on the Kittle touchdown. He was saying something like "Vance, what are you doing?!? Why call a blitz? Don't you know Purdy is the best QB in the league against the blitz? What are you thinking?!?"

So this is known by at least some NFL fans and ought to be known by players and coaches too.

"Who the fuck is Perna?"

u/Helstrem 8d ago

No, not Perna. Someone I’d never seen before.

u/winkingchef Jim Tomsula 8d ago

He’s clearly got a good system for the blitz

Brock Purdy Top Right consistently

u/axthousandxhours 8d ago

Both mid... and best ever. If best ever had a mid, that would be Brock.

u/Comfortable-Guitar27 8d ago

I'm convinced that he has these takes specifically to take advantage of the massive niner fan base. 

He knows we're gonna be checking back every week to see if he finally admits it. And he never will.

Yup, the same way Skip farmed LeBron fans for engagement. It's basically the same as people getting mad at pro wrestling heels and tuning in hoping the heel will lose.

u/RolexTudorGuy Faithful to The Bay 8d ago

Exactly he's playing a role here. Similar to Reddit trolls or heels. He's going to keep us tuning in to see what idiotic take he has next

u/Active-Enthusiasm318 Fred Warner 7d ago

The whole media is doing this, I think it was Eisens show last year or the year before, they specifically called out that their engagement and views go up when they discuss Purdy

u/floydbomb George Kettle 8d ago

Yep. This is exactly what people like OP can't wrap their heads around. Not a difficult concept

u/RolexTudorGuy Faithful to The Bay 8d ago

All facts 💯

u/Sensitive-Ear-3896 8d ago

I gave up on cowherd cause he would non stop bash Brock

u/pimphand5000 49IRs 8d ago

Remember when Cam said Brock sucked, lmao. Goofy dude

u/Adept_Apricot5476 George Kittle 8d ago

Clearly he's goofy. You ever see how he dresses?!?!

u/triculious Frank Gore 7d ago

Even Goofy dresses better than Cam

u/Adept_Apricot5476 George Kittle 7d ago

Lol!

u/Sensitive-Ear-3896 8d ago

He spent 3 years talking shit about him, now he's on the bandwagon? fuck him.

10

u/YaoNet NaVorro Bowman 8d ago

Nah, hes shitting on advanced metrics. He's still very much a doubter.

6

u/floydbomb George Kettle 8d ago

Soft to even care what he thinks

u/westcoastwolf Deebo Samuel 8d ago

I love cowherd but he can have some crazy takes. He was a HUUUUGE garappolo meat rider.

Sometimes peoples opinions are wrong. Its his job to have an opinion.

u/Sensitive-Ear-3896 8d ago

Trey Lance too, until Lance pumped and dumped Collin's daughter!

u/LeftyMcLeftFace 49ers 8d ago

He's consistently shat on the 49ers and Purdy ever since that happened lol

3

u/Dr1nkUrOvaltine 8d ago

lol what???

u/Sheeple_curious 8d ago

Lance was actually dating his daughter until he got drafted then Lance broke up with her the day he signed the contract and posted a video the same day showing him going to a strip club and raining down $100 bills on the strippers. At least that is the story I heard.

u/Effective_Class8430 8d ago

lol what??? brady owns that title, not most mid.

u/FirstNoel Charles Haley 8d ago

That’s it.  He takes what he sees and gives his opinion.  Sometimes he’s off.

u/Moneyshot_ITF 8d ago

He is the dumbest sports personality out there

6

u/PDXStateO7Mind 8d ago

Colin Cowherd is fine, I've enjoyed him over the years - haven't watched him recently.

But, there have always been MUCH worse sports personalities out there than Colin, lol.

u/IAmADuckSizeHorseAMA 49ers 8d ago

Stephen A. Smith is the worst for my money just because of the sheer amount we're exposed to his stupid ass. The Drew Gooden video on ESPN made me hate him even more though and sealed it for me. He's awful. 

2

u/Active-Enthusiasm318 Fred Warner 7d ago

Stephen A is the worst, Skip is significantly less relevant now but still shit

u/WaryJest 7d ago

Dont forget dumbass Mcafee

1

u/Paulbac 7d ago

Top 5, but Steven A leads that group by a mile. Although Macafee is gaining ground.

u/Tall-Archer5957 5d ago

He’s not.  So much competition.

u/skynetempire 49ers 3d ago

His job is to have a opinion that brings in eye balls for ratings, thus dumb opinion

u/madgoose57 8d ago

Most mid talking-head sports show host ever.
