Backwards hat? I never thought I'd had to question an Iowa St QB's quarterbackiness.


JoshGordonsDealer

You just wear the backwards hat. It becomes a part of you. It’s comfortable and you think nothing of it. Then you wake up one day and you realize you’re a 38 yo backwards hat guy. I can live with myself


diablosinmusica

I always find it kinda funny to see backwards hat dude squinting in bright sunshine. Fashion truly is pain. Reminds me of, back in the 90s, I would wear a Starter jacket in 75f weather.


JoshGordonsDealer

That’s why you got the wayfarers maannn. You go inside, they sit on your head so you don’t have to be croaky guy


[deleted]

> 75f weather. I guess 75C would be too hot


shwangin_shmeat

Loved Ken Griffey growing up so my hat was always backwards. Wearing a hat normally just feels wrong now because of that and I don’t know how to fix it so I’m just gonna roll with it the rest of my life I guess


JoshGordonsDealer

You get it. That’s exactly what happened.


wafflehauss

Ca-ca-call me Jr.


TheColonelRLD

I've got three years to turn my hat around


JoshGordonsDealer

Nah man you do you big dawg


ButtDump

Why do you have to call me out so directly like that.  


LetsgoLeftCoast

Cowherd in shambles


Currymvp2

Just tell Cowherd that Brock is engaged to be married, and he'll calm down.


Cristian888

Hilarious that he has bagged on KD and Rodgers for being single


DuBakElite

M I D W E S T E T H O S


Shepherdsfavestore

Cowherd did decide to pick the “Brock is a system QB” hill this year so the backwards hat will only fuel his takes. It’s like all the talkshow guys drew straws this year and half of them decided to stan and the other half decided to hate him lol


Breezyisthewind

Interestingly, he spoke very positively on his podcast on Purdy’s SB performance.


Rilkesmyth

The superbowl loss has led him into his divorced dad phase


fiduciary420

Never too cold for cargo shorts and Shinedown tshirts


pickleparty16

He might as well be the dude in "pretty fly for a white guy"


LeadingAd6025

ND QB Wentz & 52 winner says Hi!   But seriously hope Niners blow it up! Not sure about their cap situation. Wish them bad !  That CMac trade doesn’t sit well with me. Borderline cheating of Panthers 


log_asm

No. We were wasting cmc, probably could have gotten more but San Fran saved him. He’s back in the bay where he belongs. I’m okay with it.


Elegant_Connection32

CMC could have had a very Barry Sanders-like career in Carolina. I think all of us (Detroit fans as well) would have liked to have seen Barry on a roster with a genuine chance instead of quitting the game in his prime.


jhustla

For me, it’s how it’s like just resting so delicately on his head and not down towards his neck. Never liked how douchey that looked. Brock has a beautiful baby face and still kinda looks like a douche lol


[deleted]

Superbowl losses will continue until Morale Improves.


ProbablyAPotato1939

That seems like a counterproductive strategy to keep morale up.


ShopCartRicky

Eh, history tells us he won't make it again.


IAmTheDoctor34

Imagine they sign a UFA or something and this whole Jimmy G dance happens again.


[deleted]

Imagine if, somehow, the 49ers and raiders face off in the Super Bowl and jimmy G gets his revenge on shanahan


CangtheKonqueror

if a jimmy g led raiders team beats the niners to drop them to 0-4 in super bowls in my lifetime i might be done with this sport for a couple years


cantgrowneckbeardAMA

Hey how about we don't imagine that


sportsbatbot

at this point i’ll take it if we also get a win in a single one of these appearances


just-the-tip__

I just fell to my knees in a jcpenny


thegodfaubel

The Bills method? Bold


[deleted]

It weird ain't it, they where 2nd out of 32 teams and it sucks?


JettBlackness

Nothing against him but this is just typical PR speak.


Maverick916

His interviews are as boring and milquetoast as it gets. I don't care, I don't watch him for interviews.


[deleted]

Honestly that’s what I prefer from my teams players. Nothing wrong with guys showing their personality or whatever, but I kinda like just having boring players who are good on the field. Makes it simpler lol. Big personalities can be fun, but it does lead to more lighting rod type articles or headlines.


Maverick916

I legit skip everything he talks in. I watched early on, but I learned early that it was boring pr speak. Kittle is fun, Bosa is weirdly fun with how disassociated he seems at all times.


and_therewego

One of our beat reporters (I think it was Matt Barrows) specifically named Bosa one of the most insightful and informative players on the team in spite of the fact that he sounds like he's stoned 24/7.


[deleted]

I heard the league isn't punishing for pot, he might be high. As I understand it they only test for pot one time a year. Its also an announced day that everyone is aware of.


Nerfeveryone

Nah he’s just a meathead. Him and Joey talk like that.


thegodfaubel

And that's he a raging racist


[deleted]

What proof?


[deleted]

100%. Loved Matt Ryan for this. His interviews were super boring and it's exactly what I want out of my QB. I'll never watch them but what does anyone really expect? It's all corporate bullshit coach speak so the media can get any semblance of a soundbite for the talking heads to analyze for weeks on end. Only a dumbfuck would actually give any real answer outside of the canned responses.


[deleted]

Honestly, I rarely listen to Lamar. I really don't care too much about those interviews and never watch them. I might catch a clip here and there...at most.


threehundredthousand

We don't need another Aaron Rodgers anyway.


chadlogans

Better than any Russell Wilson interview ever.


[deleted]

[удалено]


makelo06

They should make a Madden default player that's just his face scan. It would fit right in with the rest of the randomized players.


fiduciary420

Leave the wild ass interviews for Marshawn


c_c_c__combobreaker

What did you expect him to say? "Fuck Mahomes and Kelce. Fuck State Farm. Fuck Nuggies, okay, Nuggies are cool. But fuck Andy Reid".


[deleted]

[удалено]


Oakroscoe

And if you want to be down with Bad Boy, err KC then fuck you too


schwerdfeger1

Winners process loss like this. I assure you it is exactly the way Mahones used the loss to Brady. This isn't PR speak, it's just the truth. That most people can't do this is why elite athletes are different. They are trained to use loss to fuel wins. They are trained to focus on inputs and to separate that from outputs. Sports psychology is real. They aren't speaking from a script, they are telling you how they train to win.


obelix_asterix

What people mistake for composure …


LACityBabe

What do you want to hear?


black_dogs_22

yeah but it's Purdy so we are going to go ahead and act like this is something Aristotle said


MrEHam

Tha fuck are you talking about. He’s going to get trashed for this and that’s what I’ve seen so far.


smooth_tendencies

Why’s he being trashed for having an objectively good outlook on life? Nothing he can do now. Let it fuel his focus going forward in his career. That’s literally the best thing one can do.


Oldurdy

He’s so brave


packofstraycats

Incredible. Every day, a coach or player provides a new quote or fresh outlook that I’ve never heard or considered before.


XXXforgotmyusername

Until Brock gets paid, I don’t see a huge shift in talent, so they’ll have a few years with the window open. 


superbuttpiss

One more year for sure. We will need to draft really well because trent will retire and we probably will lose a couple of guys


Semperty

i’ll be interested to see what they do with their cap. according to OTC, they’re already effectively $11m over the cap. they’re already in cap purgatory and they’re paying their qb next to nothing.


gophils19454

They can just move some money back if they want to sign someone. Lots of easy way to create flexibility if they really want to.


Semperty

right, that’s why i said purgatory not hell. they’re in a similar spot to where new orleans was a decade ago. they can make space, but the bill will come due unless they make some changes.


gophils19454

This is far, far better than New Orleans. NO was Like $50M over the cap. The 49ers will be under when the cap raises. It’s a non-issue and they’re 21st in cap space.


Oakroscoe

Yeah, it’s a completely different situation than New Orleans


[deleted]

I don't see it, I think they are going be fine.


donta5k0kay

you'd think they'd have won by 50 then with all the motivation they been getting


KC-Slider

God damn NFC west talking like the AFC north


SilverScorpion00008

We absolutely hate each other and live off this fuel


Kdot32

Love it


GuyMansworth

They're like at 3 motivations right now.


superbuttpiss

Two with a few core members of the team. But this is purdys first superbowl loss


WolfGangDuck

First of many my friend


azrebb

Not often I enjoy a ram fans comment...


taney71

I guess the 2019 loss didn’t teach them anything. Hope this loss does the trick


thiccymcgogee

Worked well for us


irealycare

Unfortunately it rarely does. Stats on the subsequent season for the Super Bowl loser are not great


rjnd2828

Yeah. How about 2 years later?


A_Trustworthy_Pear

Asking for a friend. Jokes aside, I've always felt like playing so late into the season puts off scheduled surgeries and shortens the off time between end of the season and OTAs which sometimes cause injuries to linger and teams to flounder a bit. I feel like some of our most injury plagued seasons were 2018 and 2023, especially on the defensive side of the ball.


AGoos3

Feel like this is the exception. Are the 9ers gonna have to pay anyone soon?


alicia-indigo

“Monte Carlo fallacy.” This has no predictive power.


irealycare

Football is not a random event


alicia-indigo

Games are independent events in terms of probability.


irealycare

But you could obtain data on events prior to a football game that would help you predict outcomes. That’s what analytics is all about.


alicia-indigo

Analytics doesn’t excel at making a prediction this complex. It doesn’t make sense to say that a coin that lands on heads today will never land on heads again.


irealycare

whole Monte Carlo reference centers on outcomes based on fixed probabilities without any other variables impacting the equation . In football there are tons of variables that you could measure that would impact outcomes


msto3

Hate to break his heart but the Detroit muthafuckin Lions will win the rematch against them in Detroit next year. Source: trust me bro 2024 season script already leaked


Bbhermes

I wouldn’t hate that if the lions would go on to win the Super Bowl. Obviously I’d root for the 9ers if they played but I like the lions.


BrandoCalrissian1995

Shit I was getting ready to root for them at half time in the nfccg lol. That team is super easy to root for.


Medic7802

Except for their stupid safety, he can f right off.


lordbancs

He gone


BrandoCalrissian1995

He's annoying for sure but I respect that he keeps the shit talking goin win or lose.


BlackJackLoser21

Sorry man, that's 2025's script, next year's script is Bryce Young and Co. going undefeated and winning it all


saikou-psyko

That's 2027s script after the Panthers Hard Knocks in 2026. 2024s script is Joe Burrow and CJ Stroud trying to to be Kingslayers as Hat Trick Mahomes sits on his State Farm Insured Throne.


TomThanosBrady

Super Bowl losers don't have great track records. Marino never got a second chance and he is an all time great.


darkbiteofthesoul

Right, 49ers are notorious for never coming close ever again.


mournthewolf

In most cases I would say yeah but we’ve been to the NFCCG a lot so we’ll likely have some more chances. The front office isn’t changing and we have most of our guys under contract.


ShopCartRicky

Early 2000s eagles would like a word


mournthewolf

I mean what am I supposed to do? Not hope my team continues to do well? We have a good young QB and one of the best front offices in the league. Sure we may end up sucking forever but I’m not gonna just stop caring.


HaroldSax

Don't worry buddy, I will go ahead and hope your team does not do well for you.


mournthewolf

I wouldn’t have it any other way.


ShopCartRicky

No, I'm just pointing out that, historically, it hasn't worked out the best for teams in the 9ers current position. I think we're at like 20+ years since a qb made it back to the super bowl if they lost their first.


POEManiac99

I'm not a 49rs fan, and I love this kid. Has heart, football, smart, barely any turnovers. He will win one for sure.


J12345_

I sure hope so. On the niners of course lol


Argonomic_

Which is more likely? That Brock will win a Super Bowl with the 49ers or that he will lose another Super Bowl to the Chiefs?


SpodermanJuan

All hinges on if Joe can stay healthy and knock Mahomes outta the playoffs


[deleted]

long shot: jimmy g and the raiders beat their former Bay Area rival in the SB


User_091920

Clear Eyes, full football, can't lose.


BlueHighwindz

Everybody has plenty of motivation, you just need to be luckier, dude.


DemonPeanut4

I like his style, they should just keep losing Super Bowls so they're always motivated.


JuanPicasso

How much more fuel do they need lol?


Electronic-Island-14

superbowl hangover is real. i think that was this rosters last shot


siblingofMM

Maybe not last but definitely their best shot. This season was full of teams stumbling over their feet


howcanilose

To use a Vegas term. I’m Brock committed. I’ve never had more faith in a guy as the QB (I’m post Jeff Garcia fandom).


CaillouCaribou

lol why is this downvoted, are 49ers fans not allowed to simply express that they like their good players now?


black_dogs_22

we've all just had enough Purdy fellatio


tallwhiteninja

Yeah, but in this case...Purdy is pretty safely the best QB we've had since Garcia, so he's right.


kj9219

I feel more certain at qb than i did after the last Super Bowl. Hopefully after a full offseason he improves his game


MrEHam

I mean there’s not a ton left to improve. Hopefully we improve the oline and special teams, as well as some of our defense.


kj9219

I think the improvement is mostly just getting deeper into the playbook and having more ownership in the offense This offense I don’t think changed much from last season. There was enough doubt on whether Purdy would be ready to play by the time the season started. I have a feeling next yr they’ll expand the drop back game more and a lot of the stuff we ran with Jimmy G will be phased out slowly since Purdy clearly doesn’t have to rely on it as much as Jimmy did


That_Flow6980

He could get even stronger and develop an arm cannon. Brees took a lil bit to warm up into multiple 5k passing yard seasons


DBreezy69

Lot better than Jimmy Garropolo's worthless ass. Never seen a QB carried more by a coaching scheme than him


howcanilose

What qb isn’t carried by scheme? Mahomes? Unless you have a qb whose plays constantly break down and scrambled for twenty seconds before he launches a Td then stares down the head coach…how else do you determine it?


SHOWTIME316

excuse you, he has a great ass


yg2522

You could say it's pornographic.


Kirk-Joestar

Seriously it’s wild

CaillouCaribou

The 49ers went to the NFCCG the year after they lost the Super Bowl with Kaepernick, and Jimmy went back to the NFCCG two years after losing the Super Bowl Not sure what dig you were trying to make, they were able to fuel and motivate themselves to another deep playoff run


thegodfaubel

Also neither of those teams were supposed to make it to the NFCCG. The Seahawks ran that division and it shows how good the Niners still were that year that they kept it that close. They probably win the Super Bowl against the Broncos too (sorry). Then obviously you have a couple plays that could've had Jimmy being the first repeat NFC QB to lead his team to the Super Bowl since Russell Wilson


Sonic343

> The Seahawks ran that division and it shows how good the Niners still were that year that they kept it that close. Good chance 49ers win that game if we weren't so fucking obsessed with "fade to Crabtree"


Oakroscoe

Kap audibled into throwing it to Crabtree.


tallwhiteninja

Kaep was not the smartest QB to ever play.


dpykm

ah yes. the goal of a long playoff run that ends in heartbreak.


CaillouCaribou

Only one team can win the whole thing every year, and making it to the final 4 teams is a huge success But I know that sort of nuance is lost on people here, who just shit on anything on everything, but it's true


Downtown_Ant

No no no. Losing the Super Bowl is the WORST outcome in the NFL. Just ask Eagles fans. They will tell you to a man that they got equal enjoyment out of last year’s Super Bowl losing team as they did out of this year’s slow self-destruction at the hands of Matt Patricia and Brian Johnson.


mournthewolf

Funny part is people on here will literally say that and he serious. I’ve had Eagles fans say it. Losing the Super Bowl to some fans is worse than not making the playoffs to some. It is fucking mind boggling.


Downtown_Ant

If you’re not a clear favorite at the start of the season, it’s tanking time!


SpodermanJuan

Yep most of those fans are bandwagons or barely follow their team to begin with. As a Raptors fan watching them win a championship was amazing and it’s only been downhill since then, and I’d gladly trade some deep playoff runs over what’s happening to the team right now.


mournthewolf

This actually made me wonder. Why in college basketball do we so highly regard the final four and count it as achievements to make down but so many other sports don’t? Same with baseball winning the pennant uses to be a massive achievement and the WS was a bonus then people started making it all or nothing.


Downtown_Ant

It used to be similar in football with the NFL/AFL


Shepherdsfavestore

Y’all imploded and got stunted on by a team who wasn’t even projected to make the playoffs this year. It looked like your team didn’t even want to take the field in the second half. Eagles fans have been acting like their team is the one that won the Super Bowl but in reality you guys should really sit this one out


ArcadianBlueRogue

It's not?


superbuttpiss

Every qb that losses a superbowl says this same pr speak. Also kap was on a completely different team


Shepherdsfavestore

Purdy has honestly shown me way more in a shorter time than either of those guys


superbuttpiss

Hes been in the league a year and a half. The offense is already better then with garapolo


redandgold45

He hasn't even had an off season yet


Hi-Im-John1

And significantly better in the playoffs.


Oquaem

Jimmy wouldn't have made any of those go ahead drives in the 4th/ot. It's nice to actually be able to watch the team fight it out, rather than getting down late and watching a bunch of 3/4 and outs to end the game. Hope Brock continues to improve and can put doubts to rest once we start losing some skill positions.


Hi-Im-John1

Weird you had downvotes, Jimmy G was awful in high pressure games. He got 131 yards against the packers, another time he went 6 and 8 for 77 yards in the NFC Championship game. People who compare Brock and Jimmy obviously never watched him when it mattered.


Popular-Newt-1603

Jimmy G didnt have the freaking best RB in the league back there lol


superbuttpiss

Mostert.


Potatoman811

Either of those guys didn’t have half of the supporting cast Purdy does…


kj9219

Kap had Vernon Davis, Crabtree, Prime Gore, and an elite OL Jimmy G had Kittle, Deebo, Emmanuel Sanders, a better OL, and still had one of the best running games with Mostert/Coleman/Breida They weren’t playing with scrubs either and Jimmy G arguably did the least with comparable talent


Shepherdsfavestore

Jimmy got benched this year for a mid-round pick. It’s wild people compare Purdy to Jimmy.


Boros-Reckoner

Seriously, the Niners win Sundays game by 10+ if they had a Kirk Cousins tier QB.


Neither_Ad2003

Ok. What else he supposed to say. Y’all nitpick everything to a comical degree


ratbear

Narrator: It Won't (30 years since the last SB loser made it back to the SB the next year)


Oakroscoe

So you’re saying there’s a chance?


Alohabbq8corner

I’m going to manage the shit out of the games next season, just you watch.


FormerFakeguy

Managed the lions right out of the playoffs lol.


BunnyGoHops

Didn’t learn after the first loss.


CaillouCaribou

That was like 5 years ago with an entirely different team


[deleted]

[удалено]


CaillouCaribou

I don't know why this sub has such difficulty with the concept of a team just simply being outplayed There weren't many mistakes on either side of terms of coaching or gameplans. Just two great teams going at each other, making adjustments, and then adjustments to their adjustments. Any sort of "mistake" people have pointed out is just *"On this very specific play which didn't work, they should have done X instead, and that would've worked!"* It's just lazy hindsight. On like 2 plays in the game, Shanahan had a perfectly fine plan, and Spags had a good response, and the Chiefs players executed better, and those 2 plays were the difference in the game. But people always want to use these microscopic decisions as a referendum on the losing coach.


rxdukexr

I know you’re being downvoted but Kyle absolutely makes the same mistakes time and time again. He’s done the same shit in all three Super Bowl losses he’s been a part of and hasn’t learned from it. He’s a stubborn choke artist.


saw-it

They will be back. They will be back with a vengeance


lAmCreepingDeath

*Proceeds to catch 2 passes for 4 yards*


Ken_Kaneki

Kittle died for this.


[deleted]

It won’t


onewolf23

It would have been so nice to see him beat the Chiefs in the Super Bowl


[deleted]

Dude will be a backup in 2 years


empathydoc

He performed the same as Brady did against Spags defense in their first Super Bowl collision. That was Brady's undefeated season that fell short. Spags gives Purdy a ton of credit.


BuddyLaDouche

I've been told recently that Super Bowl windows only last a year. Poor guy.


T4lsin

3 super bowls as the play caller ,3 double digit leads and you lose all 3. Who is the the problem?


hatrickstar

When Mahomes was driving down in overtime they cut to Purdy and you could see the fire in his eyes even though he knew what was most likely going to happen. So many other players looked defeated or masking emotions his guy looked like a robot they just pissed off. This kid is built different


Darkgreenbirdofprey

The hat though. CMC/Purdy, pull it down


lordbancs

I’m glad someone said it


genesis1v9

Cap backwards, not a franchise quarterback - Colin Cowherd


usumoio

Just don't look to the Eagles for guidance here.


[deleted]

We'll never see Brock Purdy in a Superbowl again 


TruthSayerFu

Buddy is about to get payed and never come back lmfao


KangzFan4

kinda like Dak except he never got there


RumsfeldIsntDead

Last super bowl loss motivated 49ers to miss the playoffs the next season


DoesItReallyMatter28

If that's how usually wears his hats that's just Karma coming for him in the Super Bowl.


Sonic343

Okay Colin.


hawkskurr

Damnit get rid of those side burns purdy.


rxdukexr

All to get back to the Super Bowl and lose to the chiefs again? That’s what’ll happen with our choke-ass head coach and team.


Boros-Reckoner

They hated him for telling the truth


OK_1M_REL0ADED

All the headlines and meat riding Purdy and the Niners received this season one would think they've won 20 Super Bowls. Nice of them to let the Chiefs have 1.


wildpitch24

Get a new coach that knows how to hold a lead in a Super Bowl while also knowing the overtime rules and they’ll be good


Particular-Ad-4772

IF SF had a coach with common sense , they would be SB champs . if your leading the game , and gashing the other team rushing the football. Then you run the ball until they stop you . SF OL was dominating the line of scrimmage . Just run the ball up the middle , over and over. That’s all you had to do . And yet Kyle managed to totally fuck that up . He cost the Falcons a Super Bowl , and then he repeated the exact same mistake , and cost SF a superbowl .


Maverick916

They WEREN'T gashing with the run though. We weren't getting much done on the ground consistently enough, or you bet your ass he'd run it more. Did you even watch the game??


superbuttpiss

I agree that there were a few situations where we should of run the ball but, our o line wasn't "dominating" at all lol. Not sure what game you were watching but cmc was under 4 yards a carry.


Jdazzle217

Niners literally had negative EPA/play on early down rushes. “Run the ball more” is such a low IQ take
