There was one play, in one of his first two starts (maybe the MIA game), where RayRay and another player went in motion. Had the ball been snapped, it would have been illegal motion/shift. So he told RayRay to stop his motion, get set, then the ball was snapped. Had Brock just gone with it, there would have been a penalty. He changed the play mid-motion presnap.
That's called football IQ.
And yet some posters want an unproven commodity to start over him only because of the draft capital invested and the "intangibles" he supposedly possesses.
I haven't' made my mind up yet. I was a massive supporter for the Trey pick. Doesn't mean I don't appreciate what Brock did BUT you talk like Brock is some multi-year Vet. This story is not complete yet. Just as Trey's isn't.
I get what you're saying and respect your opinion/stance on it. It's a fair one, although I slightly disagree.
Purdy deserves to be talked about like he's a multi year vet because that's all he's ever looked like, very polished/decisive. Trey has looked like a rookie in his limited play.
i would be more inclined to give Trey more chances, because it's not necessarily his fault with a lot of the circumstances, but My thought is - when you see someone do something historic and special, like Purdy did, searching for a FQB is over (or at least on hold) until that player proves otherwise.
trey will start the season (barring training camp injury) and get the chance to start showcasing his growth - but I'd be surprised if the teams mindset isn't "it's Purdys team until he proves it isn't". So Trey could have a few good games and still be benched when Purdy is ready. Trey would have to blow peoples mind, like Purdy did, to hold onto
the job - THATS JUST MY OPINION, which doesn't mean Jack. Lol
Purdy didn't just play well, he played historically well and had this offense operating as literally the #1 offense in the league when he was in. He blew out every bad team he played and outplayed the good teams. He operated like a 7 year vet who's been a perennial all pro.
Couple all of that with his contract, and I think you give that player EVERY. SINGLE. CHANCE. Before even considering movin on.
