Brock Purdy is set to give Patrick Mahomes a tough time at the Super Bowl! With the San Francisco 49ers winning over the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship Game, they’ll pose a tough competition for the AFC champs, the Kansas City Chiefs. Mahomes, who’s chasing Tom Brady‘s GOAT status, will face an equally competitive QB in Purdy as they prepare to face each other.

With Brock Purdy leading the 49ers to their first Super Bowl appearance since 2019, Ryan Clark’s opinion on the 24-year-old is fluctuating yet again. Purdy remains a force to reckon with as he finished the last NFC Championship Game with 315 combined passing and rushing yards, the most in a conference win in the franchise’s history. 

Ryan Clark praises Brock Purdy after the NFC Championship 

In a recent eye-raising tweet by the 44-year-old retired NFL safety, the football world gets a glimpse into yet another opinion of Ryan Clark on Brock Purdy. This is his latest take on the 49ers QB, “I never switched up on Brock Purdy. I used new information to form a new opinion. What he accomplished in the NFC Championship separated him from other QBs who have also have had great statistical regular seasons.” 

Spectacularly winning over the Lions, Brock Purdy clinches his first SB appearance after joining the 49ers in 2022. After a series of indecisive opinions on the Pro Bowl winner, Ryan Clark finally accepts that he has separated himself from QBs like Kirk Cousins and Justin Herbert who are yet to make a Super Bowl appearance. And now he’s almost jumping to the results of the SB even before it began, “If he beats Patrick Mahomes, the greatest QB of this new era, & you still choose to knock him. You just hating.”
