This is what I've been saying for YEARS. It's not just unit pass protection issues. It's WHEN this team has to play off script when the lack of talent is exposed (e.g. when it's a predictable passing set).

it's in the title and the tweet, but this is only looking at expected passing situations, not all dropbacks. So think basically when a team is trailing, in 2nd and long, 3rd down, etc.

AND as we have told you for years an elite QB can make the o line look better. Proof is right there. Brock is clearly elevating the O line.
Seeing Miami and their quick throw offense number one shows those numbers also lack some context.
An athletic and tier 1 QB and scheme can absolutely mask a lot. Nobody has ever questioned that.
The issue is, "To what degree?"
IF the goal is to win a SuperBowl, this will cost you in the end just like it did with Mahomes.
You did question that though. Multiple debates with you regarding this.
LOL.
Only the degree. There's been a surge in athletic QB's over the years but very few ever reached a tier 1 level. The good-enough crowd only had Mahomes to pivot too and that proved false too...to a degree. I'm restating that here WITH Brock Purdy + Kyle's scheme.
If you still think this is good enough and Brock + scheme can transcend it in the end, more power to you.
This team is definitely good enough to win it all.. best overall roster in the league. Even most talking heads agree with that.
You also keep mentioning Pat losing the SB bc OL but don't mention that he had like 3 starters missing or injured heading into that game.
If we lose Trent though, I will say we can't win it all anymore.
Fair enough. I never said it was impossible to win a SuperBowl with this group. I've been talking about what's been the best formula and probability over the past 6+ years. Proven.
And Brock has certainly reached Mahomes-like transcendence. No doubt.
I just hope he can keep that up and the unit PP doesn't do him in in the end like PM.
Next test: Crush the Eagles!
