Ambry Thomas showing 49ers there's "not that many out there better than me"

The San Francisco 49ers' defense delivered an impressive performance in Sunday's 42-19 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite reportedly exploring options for another starting-caliber cornerback before the October trade deadline, the team ultimately stuck with Charvarius Ward and Ambry Thomas on the outside. Thomas playing outside has allowed Deommodore Lenoir to move to the slot corner spot. Defensive coordinator Steve Wilks seems to have found a recipe for success. Thomas has been impressive in recent weeks, earning his highest-ever overall Pro Football Focus grade (90.2) on Thanksgiving night against the Seattle Seahawks. We'll have to wait until Monday morning to learn how his performance against the Eagles compares, but it's evident that Thomas is

Colin Cowherd offers ridiculous take on 49ers QB Brock Purdy

By David Bonilla
Nov 30

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

The (Not So) Curious Case of MVP Brock Purdy

By Brian Renick
Dec 5

The 49ers traveled to Philadelphia on Sunday to take on the Eagles, the team with the best record in the NFL and the team with whom many believe (believed?) to be the MVP front-runner in QB Jalen Hurts. The 49ers left Philadelphia with a resounding 42-19 victory in which QB Brock Purdy completed 70% of his passes for 314 yards, 4 TDs, and more importantly, 0 INTs or turnover-worthy plays. On the other hand, Jalen Hurts put up what looks like decent stats: 26/45 for 298 yards, 1 TD, and 0 INTs. However, if you watched the game, it was evident that the Eagles were not in the same class as the 49ers, and their 19 points weren't anywhere near enough against a 49ers squad that scored touchdowns on six straight drives (after an admittedly slow start in the

49ers 'not surprised anymore' by Brock Purdy's MVP-like performances

By David Bonilla
Dec 5

Last season, it was probably easy to look at Brock Purdy's early starts and be shocked by the rookie quarterback's ability to step in and play like a veteran. Then, as he turned in impressive performance after impressive performance, his San Francisco 49ers teammates became less surprised. Everyone was forced to acknowledge that Purdy could play in the NFL and do so at a high level. As the last overall pick in the draft, a player passed on multiple times by every team, including the 49ers, Purdy has defied expectations. Purdy entered this season as the starting quarterback despite coming off surgery to repair the torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) he suffered in the NFC Championship Game. The 49ers quarterback has been playing at an elite level this season,
