Gronk calls Parsons’ Purdy jab ‘really weird’; Cowboys star responds originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Brock Purdy was defended by more than just 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel on Wednesday morning.
After Micah Parsons criticized Purdy’s play in San Francisco’s 33-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday, four-time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski responded to the Dallas Cowboys star edge rusher on the “Up & Adams Show.”
“It’s really weird that he’s tweeting that out there,” Gronkowski said. “First of all, there’s a saying out there: Losers focus on winners and winners focus on winning. And if you want to be a winner, then you have to focus on winning. It’s really, really weird though in this case because Micah Parsons is one of the best defensive players in the league. He might win Defensive Player of the Year this year. But on top of it, it’s a team game, it doesn’t matter how good you are as an individual.
“And it’s weird that he’s tweeting that after a loss versus [the] Miami [Dolphins], and then he’s tweeting that about a team that absolutely dismantled the Cowboys when they played them this year. So it’s just weird to me because he’s an outstanding player and he’s doing his thing this year, but you’re worried about the San Francisco 49ers.”
During the 49ers’ 33-19 Christmas Day loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday, Parsons appeared to throw shots at Purdy, who displayed the worst performance of his young NFL career.

Purdy completed 18 of 32 pass attempts for 255 yards with no touchdowns and a career-high four interceptions before leaving the game in the fourth quarter with a stinger.
It didn’t take long for Parsons to respond to Gronkowski’s remarks, replying to the “Up & Adams” social media post while the former tight end still was on the show.
Prime example of let’s attack the person rather than…
