I had said that he had been playing like prime Montana, which he had been. That's what the tape showed up to that point. You got all butthurt that someone would invoke Montana's name when describing the quality of Purdy's play, then proceeded to invoke guys like Nick Foles and Tyler Heinecke. All Purdy has done this year is to continue to play the game at an elite level, even breaking records of guys like Prime Montana, solidifying that he is indeed playing the game at a comparable level. It's always been a question of whether he can maintain this play, which aside from an up and down three game stretch, he has.
Learn how to take the L my dude.
Brock's tape showed a kid that would make some quality plays and had more than a handful of bad reads, under throws and dropped INTs last yr. I said his play last yr wasn't sustainable at that level. I said some of those dropped INTs would become picks and they did over our 0-3 stretch. There's film of it…unless you just blacked that out of your memory?
You automatically tossed out GOAT comparisons and I provided examples of dudes that went on stretches of good plays, even won a Super Bowl but couldn't maintain it long-term. I have no idea what Brock will be long-term. Neither do you!
I've been nothing but positive of Brock this yr. I would LOVE if he turned into Montana.
you want to call him the second coming of Joe, that's fine. Don't get bent out of shape when someone pushes back on that kind of take… if there's anyone that can take a L it's me…you're acting like he's Joe already by saying that and imo that's pretty f**king disrespectful to Joe.
You continue to this day to make a strawman out of my words. Saying a guy is playing as well as someone does not imply that he is that person or will have a career as that person. I've never prognosed Purdy's career, only said who he was playing like in the moment, and you're the one who got bent out of shape by it, and continue to misconstrue.
You diminish his stretch of play last year by saying he was throwing a bunch of balls that would be picks was and continues to be a bonehead argument. Purdy was a stud last year and remains a stud this year. Every QB throws picks and would be picks, and goes through rough patches. Purdy is no different, but he certainly hasn't regressed to the mean or whatever you thought he would. Capital L.
