Tua is actually slightly shorter, arm strengths are similar, and in terms of mobility, I don't think Tua has any advantage either.

Tua was drafted on accuracy, throwing with anticipation, and sound mechanics.

Ok. Aren't these Purdy's strengths as well?

So Purdy could have been a top 10 pick if he played better in college?

Someone posted a few days ago that he had a first round grade after his sophomore season, and dropped off as his performance regressed his junior and senior seasons. Just goes to show how imperfect the system is.

Humans are imperfect. Both the evaluators as well the players.

Some guys REALLY DO fall off and pick it back up again.

As said before,...if they all robotically stayed in order,...no one would really watch or be drawn to the draft. Or the sport in general for that matter. Guys that are rated high would play with no motivation....and guys rated low wouldnt either because there's nowhere up to go. Who'd want that kind of "perfect" system where nothing changes?

The fact that things can change so drastically is a large part of why the sport is so popular.

Hell...even basketball-lovers like myself would easily tell you they have next-to no interest whatsoever in the NBA draft or the FAs signed afterwards.

I can just read about what went down when I find the time.

Yep. Purdy has enough physical tools and athleticism to be a franchise QB in the NFL. Some posters are so zoom in on him being a 7th round pick. That is completely irrelevant at this point after Purdy has shown so much in the last couple of months.

I can see at certain point someone just doesn't have the physical tool and athleticism to play in the NFL, you can't be 5'4" with a Ken Dorsey arm and no mobility (even if you have a Tom Brady brain).

But Purdy clearly has enough. Tua didn't have any advantage over Purdy in physical tools and athleticism and was a 6th overall pick.

I see you beat me to it. I'm with you 100%.

If Purdy had the talent Tua had at Alabama he would've been a 1st rounder

Humans are imperfect. Both the evaluators as well the players.

Some guys REALLY DO fall off and pick it back up again.

As said before,...if they all robotically stayed in order,...no one would really watch or be drawn to the draft. Or the sport in general for that matter. Guys that are rated high would play with no motivation....and guys rated low wouldnt either because there's nowhere up to go. Who'd want that kind of "perfect" system where nothing changes?

The fact that things can change so drastically is a large part of why the sport is so popular.

Hell...even basketball-lovers like myself would easily tell you they have next-to no interest whatsoever in the NBA draft or the FAs signed afterwards.

I can just read about what went down when I find the time.

I could be wrong, but I think liberty's point (which is mine as well) is that Purdy DOES have "loads of talent" and was worthy of a first round pick (as evidenced by his play in the NFL). And had he been selected in the first round, the sports media and our fans would be in consensus that we're set at QB for the next decade+. But because he fell to the last round and last pick, there is hesitancy by some. I simply don't understand why people put so much emphasis on where a player was selected.

It's certainly true to say that draft pick doesn't matter any more. That happens eventually for all players, but it's happened real quick for Purdy.

But just as Lance can't be written-off after 4 games, Purdy can't be anointed after 7 games.
He's grabbing on to that starter spot with a tight grip for sure, but 'set for the next decade'? Too early for me.

Yes that is exactly my point.

They are too worried about that. Montana was 3rd round. Brady was 6th round. Who cares where guys were picked? Can they play well? That's what matters. Sometimes they miss in the draft. The QB is probably the most inexact science of them all. But you know it when you see it. Brock Purdy has it.

I don't worry about his draft position. I am basically responding to posters who still strongly prefer Trey over Purdy because of their draft position.
