Understatement. Purdy as a rookie looks way better than year 2 Trey.
Terrible take.
We never saw Trey play much in a game this season that wasn't a monsoon.
No it's an accurate take. Both have limited starts, but Brock looks much better and is definitely more poised in his games. It probably has a lot to do with him having more game time experience in college, but he definitely has a better command of the game.
If Kyle could be honest and he can't I bet you a $1 he still thinks Trey's ceiling is higher. We need to wait two years not two games for this to unfold.
If Kyle could be honest, I think he'd tell you that he never really wanted Trey to begin with. The Mac Jones rumors are all starting to make sense now. Kyle's prototypical quarterback is a pocket passer that can extend plays with his legs without depending on them to make yards. His coaching style is closer to a classic Bill Walsh type than we think. When Trey is playing it just looks off and clunky. Read options and run up the middles ? Comeon. This scheme is all about misdirection and allowing playmakers find open space get the ball then makes some YACs.
More likely, IMHO, that Trey sold his ability to improve those clunky things and Kyle convinced himself to take the chance. I can see how that could happen, given I didn't start liking him until I learned about who he is as a guy.
And look at the recent draft history and free agent signings. Kyle has been molding a "positionless offense" for years. It's why he wanted Juice, Deebo, a duel threat running back. A QB who can threaten on the ground is the natural conclusion to that.
I am very convinced that was the rationale. But reality set in when Trey got hurt. Even big QBs are used to that level of punishment.
