It's weird that the same group of you who were criticizing Purdy for being too short and not having a big arm have now pivoted to stuff like this.
First off, he is short and his arm is not in the upper echelon among the QBs in the NFL. He's also a damn good young QB who possesses other skills sets that makes him successful….BOTH things can be true.
as far as that play, why would you not want your QB you're about to pay $200M to see a busted coverage and take advantage of it? It's not like it was in the 1st QR, it was late in the game and it would have sealed the W. s**t seems to happen to us. Why can't we get one of those?
No one is saying he played poorly, he most certainly didn't. Doesn't mean he shouldn't make that play, which was f**king important. It should be okay to talk about it.
Why does criticism with context bother you so much? I go into the Shanahan thread and it's "fire him" or he's a "choker" literally no context, no nuance, no room to have an educated discussion about it. Just emotional fans reacting without answers. That's about as stale and boring as it gets for me. You don't like a play call, well explain why you didn't like it. Show what was missed. Criticism work some context should be okay.
I come in here to have discussions about football and maybe learn a little more about the sport. It's all in fun, at least it should be. No one is "pivoting" just pointing out a really important play in the game. No one hates Brock. I'm glad he's our QB.
