Lol right? He's already out played his draft slot. It's all gravy at this point

That 10 yard split + white = HOF career as a SWR.

young Drew was a lot more athletic then people think too, I believe he was a stud tennis player as well

Drew Brees was drafted with pick 32 of round 2 in the 2001 draft class. He scored a 7.74 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 52 out of 226 QB from 1987 to 2001. https://t.co/ofxfA1jBaS #RAS pic.twitter.com/QFA3UVnkuz

Brock Purdy is a QB prospect in the 2022 draft class. He scored a 4.48 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 463 out of 837 QB from 1987 to 2022. https://t.co/3X4ABUOYey #RAS pic.twitter.com/XAd2WEE8xX

Brees was hella athletic. People just remember older, broken down Brees. He was as good throwing on the move as any QB in football.

There's definitely a lot of similarities between Purdy and early Chargers Brees. Can Purdy ever turn out like Saints Brees?

True. Brees was pretty athletic but so is Purdy.

RAS scores above are pretty close. Purdy is slightly better in some and Brees in others.

I'm not too familiar with how RAS scoring works, and could be wrong, but it seems like scoring may be due to sample size due to time period. Brees is being compared to 200+ And Purdy to 800+. Which would make sense, since QBs are way more athletic in Purdy time gap compared to Brees.

Purdy has a better 20 and 40 yd split is nearly identical but Brees has a higher score?

Let's pump the brakes on this comp to legend stuff. Besides he's clearly Mahomes.

Cool video. He used that pump fake a lot. lol

"RAS scores are pretty close."

In what universe is 7.74 out of 10 "pretty close" to 4.48 out if 10?!

This board sometimes I swear to god LOL

Brock Brees
Saw Purdy at warm ups upclose & the core/lower body strength he has is just really impressive. Guy has pretty thick legs, lots of time on the leg press me thinks. He carries himself very professionally. Continually focused. Just always dialed in the moment type of guy. His poise is something else. Very commanding presence, a type of guy that gets instant respect. Very impressed with his athleticism, mental focus & determination. His ability to adapt is great as well. Just kind of inspiring really tbh.

I'm assuming this response is to my post. I don't know what this has to do with the rest of he board lol

I meant to say some measurables not RAS. My bad.

I admitted I don't have a good understanding how they come up with their scores, so I stated this

I would say it's because they only started tracking RAS at some point. When Brees was coming in they had a lot less QBs to compare him to. And if you recall the bulk of the guys playing QB back then were definitely not hyper athletic.

We've seen an influx of a lot more athletes coming in at the position since Drew came out so it makes sense that Purdy would grade out worse. I could be wrong but I thought the grades were based on the sample size at the time of them getting their measurements.

Either way, we don't need a RAS score to let us know if Purdy is athletic enough for an NFL field. It's evident to anyone with a pair of eyes.

Comp this, comp that, at the end of the day there is only one Brock Purdy and he looks good enough to compete with the best of 'em.

I think it's funny how we have his 10 yard split going from 1.55 to 1.65 in that article's RAS score chart. Which one is it? There is a BIG difference between the two numbers.

And if we're going off measurables he's not some amazing athlete. He's not even avg according to RAS score. He scored a 4.5 and the avg score for the QB position is 5.0. His 10 yard spilt according to them is a 1.61. His 20 yard shuttle and split were good. Everything else is actually really bad.

That's certainly not the way he plays. He plays more athletic than he times and that's all that counts. So much more important things to QB than raw athleticism anyway. Purdy has all of those in massive amounts.

Yep. Based on the eye test, he is more agile and better short distance burst than Trey. Trey can definitely run faster in longer distance. Agility and short distance burst are more important in mobility within the pocket, bootlegs, and rollouts.

Trey being faster in longer distance hasn't help him that much in the game. He hasn't have any breakout runs (design run or scramble runs). He has 50+ run attempts in the NFL already.

So for mobility I will actually give it to Purdy over Trey.

All that really matters for a QB is for them to be agile, elusive, and quick in the pocket. Big Ben was very hard to sack early in his career - he just became too big. Haha

Trey may prove me wrong in the future but from what I've seen - he isn't a mobile qb. He isn't elusive/agile/quick in small spaces. He's just big and fast, but the real issue is that he doesn't know how to avoid hits/slide/protect himself. I'm optimistic he will show a lot of improvement mobility wise in TC. I think he kind of has to or Kyle might give up on him. He was really adamant and excited about having a dynamic-mobile quarterback.

The two best QBs in nfl history were not great athletes - Brady and Montana, hell manning wasn't a very good athlete mobility wise.

This. Comps are useless.

That makes sense. And was my line of thinking. So the overall RAS score doesn't mean much in this case.

They have pretty close measurements other other than Shuttle and 3 cone. Purdy has him beat in some and Bress in others, but overall pretty close.
