absolute shame they couldn't hit a fg when they needed to
that dirty bird ATL squad ticked me off lol

Yea, that was a brutal loss.

Randy should have been MVP that season IMO… and probably in 07 too. No way he was ever getting it with Lord Brady hitting 50 tds though.

You'd really rather have Herbert or Allen in this offense on this team with Kyle? No F'in way. I said it yesterday and I still mean it, I'd take Mahomes and Burrow over him and that's IT. Maybe Lawrence but likely not. Allen and Herbert rely way too much on their physical talent, they don't think the game through the way Purdy does. Hurts relies too much on running. Everyone else can kick rocks.

They can keep Lawrence for sure. Would definitely want BCB over him.

His pocket movement and scrambling is ridiculously underrated. Every announcer says "sneaky athletic." Just be honest guys, you mean "pretty quick for a white guy" lol. He has legitimate burst and he uses it to create just enough space to find a passing lane, get to an open WR, etc. When he moves within or out of the pocket, our offense gets VERY dangerous. So many playmakers, it's impossible to keep everyone covered for that long. I think the deep throws will start to come as teams move up closer to the LOS to try and take away the run and short throws; that will open up more deep opportunities.

Agreed.

Looking forward to seeing him continue to improve. Really liking what he's showing running this team.

Purdy was ranked 12th in the league last season in deep ball efficiency. He is currently ranked 10th this year so far. How can a bottom tier arm be that efficient and be better than 2/3 of the league?

I can't lol

He will die on this hill

I didn't bring it up bro. I'm also not wrong. Name me 5 starting QBs with weaker arms? You can't. It's also doesn't mean he's a bad QB. People just get all bent out of shape if anything critical is said about their QB. Next ya'll gonna tell me Brock is 6-4 and 230lbs

Dude you gotta let this go. This is like having Kate Beckinsale as your wife and complaining that she has small breasts. I mean really lol.

I'm a breast guy, sorry.

Timing, anticipation, and accuracy are the ticket to make up for any lack of arm strength… especially with what we do.

lol, that's what is bizarre tho, we have one of the top arm talent dudes, in the league and in team history, and he's right here in town riding our bench, and you can't stand the guy, even as a QB2 you don't like him it seems..

Indeed. I personally don't care about stats that much anyway.

I think Purdy has been great at everything we need him to do, plus he has the instincts and athleticism to add a real positive out-of-structure element. I also am a sucker for his leadership skills and fire, at least as reported by his teammates and media. Love the kid.

The scary thing is we haven't even gotten Jennings, Bell(who got some early snaps) or Kittle involved.

I don't think he has elite arm talent either. Like I said it's not just arm strength that makes a QB. I never said it was…if you can throw a football well but can't do anything else requiring to play the position. You're useless.

I love Brock's processing, moxie/leadership, play under pressure and quick feet to make s**t happen out of structure. If he was 6-3 230lbs with a top end arm he would have been a top 10 pick in the draft. He doesn't have those and never will do he got drafted much later…overall his skill set with this roster is all we need to win a bunch of games. All I've said his his arm strength was bottom tier among starters, doesn't mean he can't be successful.
