Mixed feelings. On one hand Purdy played great today. So I am hopeful he somehow is that guy we have been looking for. On the other hand, he is a rookie who was drafted with the last pick. Can he really get us there? History is not on our side with this. The high from the win is starting to wear off and worry is starting to set in.
Brady was drafted with pick 199 in round 6.
Do you think draft position matters?
But you are talking about the exception, not the rule. I hope we got the exception in Purdy. Not saying he isn't, just that I am not going to delude myself into being confident about going forward with it after one game either. I want Purdy to be that guy as much as anyone but I have been fooled many times with small sample sizes on a QB.
