Mike Florio: 49ers QB's name is too close to Brock 'Turdy'

Brock Purdy of the San Francisco 49ers celebrates after defeating the New York Giants after a game between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants at Levi’s Stadium on Sept. 21, 2023, in Santa Clara, Calif.

The 49ers are so dominant, so much better than the dregs of the NFL, that we’re three games in and it’s time for fake QB controversies just to feel something. Bill Simmons tweeted, “When are they gonna start cutting to Sam Darnold sideline shots?” as Purdy muddled through the first half of the 49ers’ win Thursday night, and that might have been the most reasonable reaction to Purdy’s performance.
