LeSean McCoy openly questioned why Brock Purdy gave Toyota Trucks to his offensive linemen in the middle of the 49ers’ difficult season.

During Friday’s installment of The Facility Group Chat, McCoy criticized Purdy for giving away his linemen even though they failed to protect him from defenses for most of this season.
“When I was playing and guys were doing things for me, I was taking care of my linemen,” McCoy opened the segment. ‘
“All the Rollies, baby,” he added, noting how he gave Rolex to his teammates.

The 49ers posted a video of Purdy giving his teammates the new Toyota trucks.
“This is what I don’t understand with Purdy, though,” McCoy continued. ‘Respect because I like what he’s doing, but why are you buying this from these guys? It’s not like they’re blocking you. It’s not like you’re doing it right. They’re not even doing well.
When his fellow panelists insisted that the hotline “still deserves gifts,” McCoy quickly responded by saying, “For what?”
‘You’ve been bad all year. If your girlfriend has been bad all year, does she deserve a gift for Christmas?
So far this season, Purdy has completed 247 of 380 pass attempts for 4,280 yards and 15 touchdowns in 13 games. During his NFC winning streak last year, he completed 308 of 444 passes for 4,280 yards and 31 touchdowns, so hitting those numbers with three games remaining was a long shot.

McCoy’s fellow panelists emphasized the pay gap and Purdy’s partnership with Toyota that many assumed made the expensive gift possible. Still, he was adamant that the quarterback should have stopped giving them away.
