To 49AllTheTime, that play showed an absolutely elite understanding of what the defense was doing, top of the line vision. That's QBing at it's absolute best, my dude. And throw itself was elite.

I think he had to be referencing the 1st TD, not the Kittle one. Probably (hopefully) just a mistake.*

Nope. 1v1 no safety help. Throw it up and let Kittle do the rest

like I said there have been a lot more difficult throws made, a lot more

Totally Agree

That is not a knock on Purdy, that was a good throw....but Purdy has made some insane throws...

Purdy has layered some throws over LBers and under the secondary that are jaw dropping. He has thrown pin point throws to the middle of the field, BEFORE his WR has made a break on the rout...before the dude has even crossed the Hash....

A go rout to Kittle is great, but not even close to Purdy's best throw.

Again, I must disagree, on account of the fact that (a) the pocket was squeezing him, forcing him to not be able to put his legs into the throw, and (b) it appears (and JTO suggests this might be the case) that he was about to throw it to Aiyuk and at the last second saw the potential for a huge gain, turned down the throw to Aiyuk, and flung it to Kittle.

You don't know what's a better throw between throwing a football through a tire or just hitting the tree that the tire is hanging from?

Purdy exactly did just throw it up, no room to step up , couldn't hold it any longer.. had to get rid of it. No safety help or other DBs in the area. Just need to give kittle a chance

that throw vs the giants is ten times better

I started going week by week hoping to find it...I am looking for one to BA...but here is an example of a layered throw to kittle....I think this is more difficult then a go rout

I understood what you were asking, just not in the context of this particular play. It makes zero sense as an analogy in this case.

Watch JTO's breakdown of the play. Don't take my word for it. 'As good as you will see'…. If that's not enough watch the plethora of other breakdowns available. That throw Dshearn cited is nice, but not on this level.

My point is is it harder to throw at a tree or through the tire

cause the TD was throw it in an area (at a tree) and not throw it through a tire (a dime)

Again just chopping it up to him learning on the fly as a youngster.

Love his confidence.

As long as the iffy plays don't escalate or hurt the team too much, and as long as he keeps learning, I think the great plays will continue to far outweigh them.
