In a recent appearance on Kay Adams' FanDuel morning show, "Up and Adams," Deebo Samuel had an opportunity to respond to comments made by Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons following the San Francisco 49ers' 33-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. Parsons took a shot at 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy with the following social media post.
Down 21 and there no shots or development throws! Should tell you all you need to know!

Initially unaware of Parsons' remarks, Samuel expressed his confusion and discontent toward the comments, stating, "Like, bro, we beat you 42 to whatever the score may be, like a long time ago. I don't get why he's so bothered by what we got going on over here or whatever the case may be. I don't understand you saying you can be a quarterback in this offense. I don't understand where you're going with that. And you lost two straight."
Parsons wasn't alone in taking shots at Purdy after the quarterback threw a career-high four interceptions. Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton posted the following as Purdy struggled against the Ravens.

When informed of Newton's reaction, Samuel responded, "First of all, Cam Newton, stop texting my phone, bro. You were a fan like two weeks ago. You wanted me on your podcast after talking about my quarterback, which is funny to me."
It was Purdy's worst game of his career. The 49ers quarterback was enjoying an MVP-worthy season leading up to Week 16 and was considered a frontrunner for the annual honor. After the game, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson jumped to the top of the list as the betting favorite for MVP.
Looking ahead, Purdy and the 49ers aim to bounce back in their upcoming road game against the Washington Commanders on Sunday. A week later, they will close out the regular season with a home game against the Los Angeles Rams.
San Francisco has already secured the NFC West title and a playoff berth but remains focused on securing the top seed in the NFC to guarantee home-field advantage throughout the postseason.
