Purdy said in front of the press:

If you’re saying that I’m a game manager and that I don’t look flashy in how I do it. Then that’s your opinion. That’s okay. And at the end of the day, I want to do what it takes to help my team win.
Brock Purdy said

Newton, a few days back claimed that Purdy was not the best offensive option that his team had. He further claimed that Purdy could play and manage the game well, but was not the game changer who could easily turn a game around.

A few days later, the former quarterback tweaked the statement a little but stood by what originally he stated. The former QB added that he never intended to spread hatred against Purdy but what he said was true.

He said on his YouTube channel:

I’ve never said Brock Purdy was trash; what I did say is that Brock Purdy is a game manager--That’s not hate, that’s just what I feel to be facts. But I still reserve the right to say this: to be labeled a game-changer, Brock Purdy has to be the best player on the offensive side of the ball. And that’s not the case.
Cam Newton said
