-great anticipation. Like that's probably his best trait (which helps with the lack of arm talent).
-seems to have issues processing under pressure.
-solid lower half and good footwork.
-got a little twitch and ability to move around in the pocket/scramble. Not a top tier athlete at all, but movement is there.
-arm angle throws are there.
-lack of true arm talent is very obvious, there will be parts of the field that just don't exist with him.
-accuracy is meh, obviously the further downfield you do the worse it is.

I don't know just a quick glance overall, I watched the Oklahoma game and Iowa game clips. He seems to have much more composure under pressure Sunday vs in college.

they used a ton of RPOs and PA under gun, they got him moving around behind the LOS a lot as well.

He seems like a quality backup, that you can toss in for a couple games but depending on him to be the guy isn't gonna cut it. We're kinda at where we're at for 2022.

You ve always maintained we just need Jimmy to be serviceable because of the talent on this team. Purdy is serviceable. If your theory is correct, this team should go deep.

He reminds me of cousins.

One thing i noticed on Sunday is his passes travel a little higher in the air than JGs. JGs at times are more bullet passes without arc.
Purdy has some arc to it.

not sure if this is a good or bad thing - just an observation.

He doesn't have the arm talent of Kirk.

He doesn't, but neither does Jimmy. I don't see this offense changing one bit. If anything, we could utilize Purdy's legs more than we could with Jimmy. That doesn't mean I think Purdy>Jimmy. But we didn't attack down the field anyway.

You will get another QB hurt with that and be down to #4.

There is a play where Brock avoids an INT because he is patient enough to see that he is being baited on a Sail concept versus three deep shell. He waits and waits, not because he's slow, but because he knows he can't throw it yet. Then he throws it, what seems to be late, but it's not, to Kroft along the sideline. So good for a rookie.

Since Mullens is being brought up in here relating to Purdy's first extended playing time. Do you recall Mullens having any similar film in his first start as you are describing in your two posts above about Purdy?

This play doesn't seem like much, but to me it shows calmness in the pocket. Some young QBs panic when there is too much time in the pocket. Brock stays very calm and doesn't waste the precious time seeing ghosts or worrying about pressure that isn't there.
He looks to his right, sees that the Sucker concept is taken away (Tampa2; MIKE takes away Deebo), then progress to his left and hits (I think) his 4th read. I am sure jonnydel will touch on this as a good illustration of how the moment isn't too big. Watch Brock's steady feet.

I was impressed and impressed that Kyle let him throw it 37 times.
If a miracle happens and he balls. We would finally have the storyline on our side.
A movie would be made.

At least a 30 for 30. "Purdy Relevant"

Cousins is a little bigger with a stronger arm. I think Purdy is more nimble, tho.

One thing that I noticed that is different from Nick Mullens is Purdy's confidence. Mullens always had an unsure look on his face. There were times when I swear Mullens looked like he was about to cry. Purdy, however, looks like he's ready to whip his hog out and drop it on the table. Let's see if he maintains that confidence moving forward.
