the 49ers coaching staff getting better or worse? Let’s take stock. If the 49ers had won the Super Bowl this season, lots of people would have said that they were one of the best teams of all time and that Shanahan is one of the greatest coaches ever.

While former NFL quarterback Cam Newton hasn’t wavered in his opinions surrounding San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, who he said played “good enough” for the Bay Area team to beat the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 58, he is directing blame for the loss elsewhere.

“Field goal versus touchdown, that’s not Brock Purdy,” Newton said on his “4th and 1” podcast. “Why the [expletive] did they receive the ball first? It was Tony Romo who mentioned this—when you know what you have to get, now you have four downs to get it, not three.”

Newton added, “The 49ers, they were just trying to get points. And that is not Brock Purdy’s fault. That’s bad coaching. There were too many people who was exposed. They didn’t know the real rules of overtime.”

Newton places the responsibility squarely on the shoulders of 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, citing a combination of poor decision-making and lack of preparation as the reasons behind the team’s defeat.

The Chiefs secured victory in overtime after the 49ers won the coin toss and elected to receive the ball first. This decision sparked significant debate and criticism, with many arguing that kicking the ball to quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense would have been the better strategic move.

Following the game, a couple of notable 49ers players confessed to being unaware of the recently modified playoff overtime rules, which differ from those in the regular season, allowing both teams an opportunity to possess the football no matter the outcome of the initial drive.

Defensive tackle Arik Armstead admitted, “I didn’t even know about the new playoff overtime rules, so it was a surprise to me. I didn’t even really know what was going on in terms of that.”
