Colin Kaepernick has his first 4-INT game

Colin Cowherd presented a bizarre opinion this week, sparking understandable criticism on social media. The host of "The Herd" declared quarterback Brock Purdy was not a franchise quarterback, but his reasoning is facing mockery. Cowherd's contention revolves around how Purdy wears his hat while addressing the media. "I like my quarterbacks to be adults," declared Cowherd. "I don't want them to be frat boys. So [Eagles QB] Jalen Hurts at the podium is the best podium quarterback in the league. Hat on forward, professional, almost manicured. Got that CEO-like, a real grown-up." According to Cowherd, Purdy falls short of his agrown-upndard. "You've got a hat on backwards," the host said of the 49ers quarterback. "He's not a franchise

It's not often that a player can back up copious amounts of trash talk the way Deebo Samuel did against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, but that's exactly what happened during the critical beatdown the 49ers unleashed on the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field. Samuel was among multiple 49ers players who expressed confidence over the offseason that the result in last season's NFC Championship game, won 31-7 by the Eagles, would have been different had quarterback Brock Purdy not suffered a season-ending elbow injury during the contest. No one was more vocal on that front than Samuel, who said things like "We lost because we played with ten people" while adding that the

Tight end George Kittle values the presence of Brock Purdy in the San Francisco 49ers' huddle.

"I think I can speak for everybody on our offense, we're continually impressed with the things that Brock does all the time," Kittle told Jim Rome on Tuesday. "His consistency every single day, the relationship that he's built with all of our skilled players, all the guys that he gets the ball to, it's pretty amazing. And we all feel that [comfort] with

Trent Williams remembers Philadelphia well. The veteran offensive lineman holds vivid memories of that city's fanbase, having frequented Lincoln Financial Field as a member of the Washington Commanders. The San Francisco 49ers recalled their experience playing in that stadium during last season's NFC Championship Game. Still, Williams is more familiar with the venue and was able to offer valuable insights to his teammates ahead of Sunday's highly anticipated matchup. "That's one thing that I vividly remember from my years in Washington is that the crowd, although they are loud and they are hostile, one thing about it is they do turn on the team pretty quick," Williams told KNBR's Brian Murphy and Markus Boucher on Tuesday morning. "So my message to my guys is
