Haven't seen it brought up but the throw purdy made to start the 4th quarter to cmc was a DIME

he stepped up in the pocket and threw it to where only cmc could make a play on it but he dropped it.

So do almost TD's weigh as heavy as almost INT's?

Lol apparently not

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.

Nah. All gas, no brakes. When you finally see what he sees, you've missed out on a lot of joy.

I don't think you and Giedi understand what generational talent means lol.

To me generational means upper-echelon of the HOF QBs. Guys like Mahomes, Brady, Montana. It's certainly within Purdy's ceiling thusfar, but far too early for that moniker. Guys like Brees, Aikman, Elway, Young, Favre, Kelly, Wilson, etc all all examples of HOF (or HOF caliber) QBs that I would not consider generational. Being generational means you transcend the game, and bring it to a new level.

I think any time you make the hall of fame, you are a generational player. But that's just me.

Generational refers to once in a generation if I'm not mistaken, so basically the best QB of that generation. Do you think Jim Kelly was a generational QB?

It's an interesting debate - The definition of a "generational talent" is an individual who dominates over their peers. ala Lebron James. so, I usually agree with Giedi but in this case, you can't have a bunch of generational talents. I believe Mahommes is the generational talent of his era. I think brock can be montana to Mahommes being Marino (Except he's won two chips). hahaha

we will have to see how it all plays, brock hasn't really won anything besides a handful of games. Let's not get ahead of ourselves, but I think he can do some great things if he keeps it up and we all stay remotely healthy.

Yeah I think they don't understand the definition.
Mahomes is the generational talent not Brock.
Just like Marino or Elway were the generational talents and not Joe.
The funny thing is that neither Joe or Brady were generational talents and who are the goats?

And Brady rhymes with lady, so he shouldn't have been a leader of men in Florio-think.
I just came in to say hi to my homies, and to say, "f**k Florio".

That is all.

Generational talent by definition in my mind is a talent you only see once every 10 or 20 years and that's definetely not Brock Purdy.
Patrick Mahomes is a generational talent.
That doesn't change the fact that Purdy has been incredible so far in his career and is playing at a really high level for a 23 years old player.
Plus, he doesn't need to be a generational talent. Montana and Brady weren't and they were just fine.

They're not? Mahomes isn't as good as either of those guys. Wtf are you smokin?

Which stat is associated stronger with losing and winning? Having +1 INT or having +1 TD?

Well, Generation means about 10+ to 30+ years. A generation usually means you are born, grow up and become adults and have children. It's been a generation or more since Steve and Joe played on the 49ers, so in that sense, Purdy is a generational player if he can equal or surpass their achievements.

I really thought Florio was joking but he's really serious. Has to be one of the worst takes of all time, even Peter King couldn't believe it
That may be the stupidest take I've ever heard from Florio and he's had many

There's so much bashing on Brock on social media it makes me sick, man.

Everyone's saying he's not good at all or solid at best because of his supporting cast.

Calling BS here 1000%.

They talk about his cast as if they forget Kurt Warner had a hall of fame RB two hall of fame caliber WR top 5-10 defense. He had that offensive cast in Arizona too when he went to the Super Bowl with them.

People bash Purdy for having talent around him as if it doesn't matter that he still has to make good throws to get them the ball in time, accurately and make good decisions under pressure..

You nailed it. Joe and Steve also had talent surrounding them. It's super bowl wins vs the highest competition that will get the narrative turned around. We can see the greatness in Brock, most others can't because of the Bias they have about 7th rounders and guys that aren't 6'4" and blessed with Aaron Rodger's rocket arms.

It's just nonsense. Warner looked awful much of his time in New York when he was stuck on a crap team.

Garcia is another when he went to Cleveland. Plenty of other examples that prove you need other talent on your team to win along with good coaching.

He's knocking on that top 5 QB tier.

Huh? He's already there. #5 NFL fating, #3 QBR.

He's playing at Mahommes level. If he stays consistent, he's generational talent. He's the missing piece of any offense.

He's playing better than PM ATM. PM is running around for his life and playing hero ball averaging 18 points per game and KC is tied with the Raiders in their division.

Wow, I had to check. His offense scored 20 points vs Detroit, and 17 points vs the jaguars. He's also thrown two interceptions.

No more tier 1 OL.

It matters. Even for the greatest QB ever to walk the WZ earth.

How do you from tier 1 to bottom tier so fast? 😂

EDIT I don't want to jinx him.

Purdy gonna get paid. /

Well in nearly an absolute worst case scenario (assuming he's starting), he will get $25-$30M a year. That's bottom tier for actually solid starting QBs. If he keeps up what he's doing - he will most likely fall in the $45-$55M - year salary. Which is still a relative bargain based on where the salaries for QBs are heading.
