Trent and Deebo will be back. I'm still not overly concerned about Purdy. When it's all said and done he made some really incredible throws and plays and while the two picks were awful…he's not the first or last QB to throw picks. I'm more concerned about the defense than I am about Purdy.
Purdy is essentially a rookie. He's going to make mistakes. And whether people like it or not…the defense and talent around him will have to carry him more often than the other way around. So here's to hoping these guys come out swinging after the bye.
So ur saying we have another QB where everything around him has to be elite and perfect.
Not elite and perfect, but giving up 24+ is traditionally a hard task to keep up with and 31 is usually too much for most QBs/offenses.
Russell Wilson couldn't win a game when the defense allowed 24+ for a few years into his career, and that's when defenses could play (and his in particular). I think that's notable since many of you think he was actually a top QB for many years, lol....
So yeah, reality is, Purdy probably would have won SB 54 for us, and would've gotten us into SB 56, possibly 57 as well.
I didn't expect him to be playing perfect football, but he can be counted on making throws from time to time that we couldn't trust from Jimmy or Alex.
What we really need (ironically) is our defense to resume to championship level. We are totally not built to win any other way.....
Purdy's not top 5 like Burrow, but if you insist on having that, it's gonna take serious ass luck/tanking to get that.
