Same. It's hard to tell. Baldy thought it was good, but JTO probably more credible.

I'm good with it working bottom line, lol.

Agree about the lotto aspect of Brock getting drafted. Anytime you can get a (potentially) generational talent like Purdy, that's pretty much a lotto pick. I'll give a ton of Credit to Kyle, though, for basically cutting Sudfeld and keeping Brock.

Can we please pump the breaks for gods sake? LOL

Generational talent? Yeah, Brock is not a generational talent. As good as I think he is and expect him to be, this is not a realistic label for him.

I REALLY need someone to help explain the total QBR to me. Last night, Purdy completed 67.6%, averaged 8.4, had 2 TDs, 310 yards and a rating of 111.3. Total QBR, however, was 58.3. First game VS Pittsburgh he completed 65.5%, averaged 7.6, had 2 TDs, and a rating the exact same of 111.3, but a total QBR of 94.3. How does that make sense?
I could be wrong, but I think opponents factor in this stat

But a Dak Prescott against the same team completed 13 of 24 for 143 yards, 6.0 YPA with 0 TD's but had finished with a higher rating than Brock with a 70.5 total QBR.


Nonsense. The whole point of QBR is to look BEYOND mere numbers and look at CONTEXT. Brock made some great plays, he also made some bad ones which didn't hurt us because guys like Kittle broke up interceptions. Stop being so much of a homer that your trust in an advanced stat depends EXCLUSIVELY on how much it praises the players you like. That same stat had Brock at number 1 in the NFL in week 1, and cumulatively he held that rank after week 2 as well.


Purdy didnt play all that great, certainly improved the 2nd half, and I'm sure that the 58.3 QBR reflects this as it takes into account both halves.

58.3 = 8.3 percentage points above a normalized (i.e., "average") score. It suggests he had above average play so just what was the OP's issue?

As the poster alludes above: numbers are numbers. If only the simple ones with limited meaning (like Passer Rating) make you comfy,...then ignore all the other ones and just hold those tight.
So if he proves to be THE GUY, the team can afford to keep almost all core players for this year and the next 2, right?
Since we are only 1 of 2 team that have played this week, Brock currently leads the nfl in passing yards. Hahaha

cmc is also #1 in rushing but was already.

Yes sir! The front office created all this cap space for this year so they could roll it over into next year. Meaning we will be above the cap and have additional room. Pretty smart.

plus AB has said it's very possible and I believe him. Lol

There are two more contracts coming up: Aiyuk and Hufanga. But they'll probably make that work. I suspect that Trent will retire if we win a SB.
Just watched that short, Marino Facetime thing..how cool is that? Gotta love it. Is this one of the best stories of NFL history or what?

I would doubt it. I don't see Trent leaving until after 2025. Remember the guy had a long spell of not playing.

They probably practiced the same route and pass all through camp

They are dialing them up around the same part of the field when they get man coverage looks. That Back shoulder throw is almost unstoppable with Purdy's accuracy on them.
Purdy started off shaky, im assuming from the blitz.... then started getting in a grove and threw some dimes. Another week, another thing he knows what he needs to work on

No one mentions the dime to CMC. Would've been TD 3 had he held on since he had both hands on it.

Yep, Purdy looked shaky from all the blitzing. As a result you had some poor throws but the Giants paid the price. I'll take that all day long. Good experience for him too.
Saw a YouTube video that list Purdy DEAD LAST in protection with something like 1.5 second before pressure. Not sure where that stat comes from, who records it,,etc,,,, but damn....

Dropped balls and pressure are the bane of QBs, it is crazy that Purdy is surviving stuff that de-rails many young QBs

There are a slew of qualities you can dream up for a perfect QB, I wonder how often people put Adapt and Overcome on that list of qualities.

It is kinda crazy we are watching a QB this young, with so few NFL games under his belt doing the things that he is doing.
