I bet the line for next week will be around a pickem game. Our D can win games.
maybe..... Well probably...happens to soooo many NFL QBs.
I rewatched some of that game, 3 things stuck out to me.
1. some of those passes should have been easy, and they looked harder then they should have been.
2. Dude has some ball velocity and can get the ball into traffic.
3. I don't recall seeing that far hash bullet to the outside type throw.
Guys like Mullens, Ken Dorsey come to mind... they looked good early and then defenses adapted. They lacked arm to keep the timing on schedule. Purdy looks like he might have an actual NFL level arm, all his high heat stuff with close to the LOS over the middle. Maybe guys that seen him a lot more then I have can comment on it.
I am cautiously optimistic... (but i normally am until i decide i don't like the player)
