Is Brock Purdy the Next MVP? Simms Weighs In
Former NFL quarterbacks Phil and Matt Simms talked about Brock Purdy being labeled a “game manager” on a recent episode of Simms Complete. Cam Newton said this week that Brock Purdy, Dak Prescott, Tua Tagovailoa, and Jared Goff are game managers.
“When people say the phrase game manager, they don’t mean it as a compliment. It means you are just lucky you have all these good players around you. It is a backhanded compliment slapping them in the face,” said Phil Simms. “Being a game manager is an absolute must for a quarterback to be in the NFL. To understand situations and to be a coach on the field.
Brock Purdy is the betting favorite to win MVP despite the accusations from Cam Newton. Phil and Matt Simms then discussed how two of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, Joe Montana and Tom Brady, have traits similar to Purdy. If the 49ers quarterback is a game manager, should we call these legends the same?
The 49ers are 5.5-point favorites against the Ravens on Monday night according to BetOnline.
