its does help that the Eagles are almost last in getting 3rd down stops.

Coming back to this one cause he's not at ALL anything like Drew Brees, but we have to find a comparison right?
I feel like Rex Ryan hit the nail on the head today,....and he said it much earlier in the season as well.
But when you take all of his traits and put them on the same table,....he resembles Joe Montana more than anyone else at this point.
Joe Montana Shares His Biggest Weakness
"I don't think I threw the ball, like, deep along the sidelines as well as I threw it deep down the middle or anywhere else," Joe Montana told CBS Sports Network's Jim Rome on Wednesday's "The Jim Rome Show" at Super Bowl LVII Radio Row.
"I think that was probably the biggest weakness I had, trying to get the ball up fast enough. My arm strength was I had really good arm strength, but I didn't have great arm strength. So if Jerry [Rice] got a free release or [John Taylor], I had hurry up, getting the ball out of my hand, he did not run me."

Our defense looking like the Eagles defense on 3rd downs that first 2 scoring drives. So deflating to have 3rd & long being converted

IIRC, Drew Brees said that Purdy reminded him of himself in that he had to learn to match his skills and physical package to what he saw in the game. Purdy also commented that he watched a lot of Brees films because he saw the similarity in size and processing. (from an Athletic article I believe.)

That 3rd and 19 conversion on the screen to Smith was something…
Can't win them all though. Overall another really good defensive performance.

we had it stopped, just poor tackling technique.

Yea it was bad.
Originally posted by DonnieDarko:I like the Brees arm comparison and the Joe Montana mobility comparison. I just think Brock's arm is stronger than Montana's. Here is an old scouting article - evaluating Joe's arm as a 6 out of 9 (1 being lowest). Brees arm I think is stronger than Montana's. Brock's arm, to me, is more similar to Brees than Montana. However, the mobility is very comparable to Joe and Brock.
i see similarities to joe, but closer to brees and romo
[Joe Montana]When the 1979 draft was approaching and the Cotton Bowl glow had worn off, the NFL scouts got together and started putting down numbers for Montana. One combine gave him a grade of 6½ with 9 being the top of the scale and 1 the bottom. Washington State's Jack Thompson got the highest grade among the quarterbacks—8. Montana's arm was rated a 6, or average. "He can thread the needle," the report said, "but usually goes with his primary receiver and forces the ball to him even when he's in a crowd. He's a gutty, gambling, cocky type. Doesn't have great tools but could eventually start."

The New Orleans Saints' Drew Brees comes in at No. 4 in the power rankings with a very strong arm that sometimes looks bionic because of how many times a game he rips it at great distances. Brees' career was once in question as his arm was hanging from his shoulder, which also makes his arm strength impressive.
