Very true. Purdy lacks what Shanahan called a killer instinct which is how elite QB's finish games.
Odd you would say that. Shanahan and his teammates have said it is his killer instinct that drives him to make the throws that Jimmy would not.
When all you have is a possession receiver, a "wide back," a couple of rookies, and career backups, it is hard to display much of a killer instinct.
There was never a time this season that Purdy had a healthy Brandon Aiyuk, his deep threat last year, to be able to take shots.
