While discussing San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy with edge rusher Micah Parsons this week, former Dallas Cowboys wideout Michael Irvin tried to impart some wise counsel. 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel defended his teammate after Parsons criticized the rookie quarterback, which led to Irvin telling Parsons to stop arguing back and forth.
This year, the Cowboys may meet the 49ers again in the playoffs, and Irvin doesn’t want San Francisco to have any more tools than they already have. In consecutive seasons, the 49ers have eliminated Dallas from the postseason.
“Now, when you’re on the Dallas Cowboys and it gets so much attention, yeah, things get hyped and blown up. You’re worried about it giving San Fran more hype, it absolutely is,” Irvin added. “They’ll come in hyped because of it but Micah Parsons has to match that. I don’t have a problem with guys talking back and forth. That’s the NFL now.”
Micah Parsons casts doubt on Brock Purdy’s MVP claim
Parsons used social media to express himself following the 49ers’ 33-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. For the former Nittany Lion, speaking up on issues that are popular in the league is nothing new. He co-hosts a weekly Bleacher Report-related show on YouTube.
“There are no shots or development throws down 21!” Parsons sent out a tweet. “Should provide all the information you require!”
“So, do interceptions, wins, schedule strength, MVP numbers, and other factors matter or not?” he said. “Like, what are the requirements since this year we’re all over!”
Samuel retorted, “Back to Micah Parsons. Bro, we beat you [42-10] a long time ago. I don’t see why he cares so much about this situation or any other situation we may be in.
The Ravens game saw Brock Purdy go 18-for-32 for 255 yards and four interceptions. Prior to his Monday night performance, he was a strong favorite to win the MVP prize in the league.
