At this point it is what it is, he won't quiet the haters until he wins a superbowl, but even if the team around him will get all the credit.
Its the admitting wrong part. Darnold has a good stretch and he's back to.elite status because 7 years ago.thats what people thought. Brock has one bad game and he isn't anything special. The narratives die hard.
It's a lot of DRAFTISM + Height, Weight, Speed (he's not bad here - even quick. Just not blazing). Draft position and combine super star is where people get their impression. Plus people have a certain body type where you can just see it. He's subject to that bias a lot. Like Josh Allen at 6'5" 250 lbs and running around with a rocket arm. You could put a cape on him. He looks like Superman. He just has the dimensions and look. Purdy does not. But he's processing, timing, anticipation, reads, progressions, mechanics, accuracy, quicker than given credit for. He just does it a different way that fans and some pundits don't easily see.
