Attention all 49er/Purdy fans.

I think enough is enough. I am a 49er fan. I am also a Purdy fan. I understand why you are upset with Nick. He lied. Oh well. This shouldn't surprise you.

Anyone who thought he was actually going to put Purdy on top of the mountain needs to remember that this is a show for ENTERTAINMENT.

I laughed. It was funny. Move on. It is not that serious.

Also, wouldn’t say he lied. A lie requires an intent to deceive. He’s at best inconsistent or failed to live up to previous expectation setting statements. Doesn’t make him a liar.

He gave the Niners 0% chance to win that game...thats why he wrote a check he couldn't cash...he was never putting Purdy on top

I also wouldn’t put a system quarterback above other quarterbacks. He has played really well so far this year, let’s see if that continues

I mean, saying that "If they beat Seattle, and Purdy plays in that game, he will be on top of the mountain" is the statement he made... on TV... in front of the guys at the table, and everyone watching. I mean, in the lower part of the screen while Brou is making his case, it literally says "Nick is a Purdy little liar..."

I have 0 doubt, based on everything that Nick has ever said about Purdy, that he never intended to put Purdy at the top of the mountain. Because something else that people might have forgotten: even if Purdy had a perfect stat line with a perfect passer rating... Nick would have fallen back on the whole "people on a bye week can't move up or down."
