    People say the same about Tua. But he’s balling out and doing well.

    I’d take a Purdy or Tua any day of the week over a Josh Allen or Deshaun Watson who have the “upside, arm and talent”.

    Ex QBs rave about how he plays the position. He jumps off the screen with anticipation and accuracy in film review. I honestly can’t imagine why anyone would doubt the kid at this point. Stop trying to figure out what he will be. Right now he is playing like an elite QB in this league. That is all that matters.

    QB’s that can process quickly THRIVE in Shanahan’s offense. It’s why he and Matt Ryan were a perfect match. Purdy is just like that. Yes he has a lot of weapons, but he’s a good QB. Especially in that system.

      I’m convinced that’s the most important trait in drafting a QB. Anyone who is drafted is going to have arm talent but making a read and throwing the ball quickly is what separates a back up with a top level starter.

      I don’t know of any QB that is considered top tier that has slow decision making.

        Always has been.

        But seriously, that’s the difference between the perennial backup who ends up being a coach and the Brady/Manning/Brees types.

        It’s not enough to understand the game in theory and work hard; you have to be able to “digest” what you’re seeing as fast as it happens.

        It’s kind of like reaction time, it’s like a mental trait that is largely genetic and then you have to work to build all the skills around it.

      We’ve got one full more year of peanuts for Purdy before he can get paid, enjoy it while it lasts :)

    I’m so tired of this narrative “system quarterback”. Literally just some buzz word to get views on ESPN.

    The reality about players like Purdy, Hurts, and even Tua is the coaches calling plays that highly benefit the strengths of their quarterback. All 3 are vastly different schemed offenses that suit the play style of the quarterback that will put them in the best position for success. The best coaches of all time have and will always adapt their scheming to the benefit of their studs. This specifically is why Philadelphia’s offense fucking stomps teams, they know that when hurts gets hot with AJ brown that they can run the ball freely. Especially when there qb can just get a free 2-3 yards when needed. You don’t call a play like that when your qb is built like Mac Jones, mainly cause he is structured like 6 ply toilet paper. Everyone wonders why nobody can run the brotherly shove like the eagles but it’s so simple, there are literally no other quarterbacks that have the lower body strength like Hurts, if there are I want to know for research purposes. LOL. Ok rant over.

    TLDR: Calling a quarterback a “system quarterback” is a buzzword bullshit excuse for a coach calling good plays that benefit their quarterback.

      And then you have guys like Allen or Mahomes not having nearly their best seasons, due to surrounding talent/poor coaching, and you start to realize that hmm. Maybe everyone needs a good coach and guys to throw to 🤷‍♀️

        Absolutely. Look at tua, gets tyreek and a genius behind the script and they start launching bombs, causing surrounding receivers to become better by association.

    I wish more football fans were interested in watching all-22 film content instead of just believing dumb narratives all the time.

      I wish most of the national media ie Patrick, Nick Wrong, Cowherd watched the all 22. They clearly don’t.

    He’s a late round pick so he won’t get respect until he wins a ring. If he was a first round grade people would call him cerebral, a great leader, blah blah blah.

    It really make me wonder do people even watch the games? Do they even know football schemes? Brock isn’t perfect but his tape clearly proves he’s an elite processor with some solid 10 yard spring mobility with excellent pocket pressure. Hes a master of the playbook too. Hes playing this well because he’s focused and working hard to stay on top of every detail in the offense. Anyone saying we ran a similar offense under Jimmy G is either a moron or they didn’t watch the games. Kyle did not trust Jimmy whatsoever with these throws.

      His 10yd split is like a milisecond slower than Lamar’s, and as fast as CMCs. His Agility is elite, and his arm is far stronger than it was during the combine.
