To answer your question with a question. Can a defender make a great play without the offense being at fault?

Absolutely! My turn. Could the offense have made an even better play (or throw in this instance), not giving the defender a chance to make a great play?

In your made up scenario. A tipped pass can just be a great play by the defender. And anyway, you can start recording your own set of stats with your own set of definitions. You are free to do so. But picking a play here and there and saying, this is happening too often or at a high rate without any reference point to compare to is worse than relying on a reputable stat site that pays folks to do it for a living.

Why so salty? Where did I say those things? I said like two per game. I stated that I didn't watch the All-22 for clarity and could be wrong and change my mind. If you are finding what I'm saying offensive or something then we can simply end this conversation

Because you're going on and on about Purdy being lucky and having two dropped INT's per game, but then saying that Tartt dropping the easy INT against the Rams just part of the game and we don't know what would have happened had he caught it.

But you're not alone. There is a tendency for constant and unrelenting negativity by a few on this board.

Purdy is really living rent-free in that guy's head, that's a lot of hating to put that much effort into making that reel.

Wow, i didn't remember all those and actually, several were just throw aways , several were 50%ers,,, several were where he was just trying to get out of jail…but yes, there were some easy INTs dropped.

However:

111.4 Passer rating …tops in NFL

16/ 3. TDs / INTs…not too shabby for a rook playing in only 7 games, and that includes 2 playoff games.

Maybe he was lucky, maybe he is just better than some folks think. But no question, Brock is Cool Hand Luke once he gets guys in his face. i like his stats, but more than anything else, he looks like he belongs back there as opposed to anyone we have seen back there in over 20 yrs.

Why? Escapability… AND taking care of the ball. I don't want a running qB, i want a guy who can escape from a blitz or has ability to throw it away instead of taking a sack…and THAT is Brock.

Yeah half those passes were just incompletions where the defender was at closest a yard away from the ball, or contested pass breakups. We calling every "pass defensed" as an interceptable pass now? Sounds like an awfully low threshold. He's had some questionable throws, but a lot of these are eye rollers.

You can do that with every QB though. If you do that with Mahomes you can probally find 2 or 3 passes every game where you can say that ball could have been picked.

Just a week ago everyone was making fun of Dak and all his INTs (including me). You put the ball in harms way, regardless if it's picked off it's a bad throw imo.

I agree with that. Sometimes it's really good defense though. Like when woolen caught up to that attempted touchdown pass to Jennings vs Seattle - the issue was just that woolen is ridiculously fast. It could of been thrown earlier but against just about any other db - that's a touchdown.

I'm just glad they aren't as bad as Jimmie's were most of his career.

What's next? Here's the list of games he could have lost

Dolphins
Buccaneers
Seahawks
Commanders
Raiders (OK maybe this one, LOL)
Cardinals
Seahawks
Cowboys

What could have been and what was are two very different things.

Quite a few of those are just pass deflections, or simply an incompletion, not interceptable pass lol
You can "almost int" Purdy all you want but at the end of the day, he's never lost a game, he's off to one of the greatest starts of any QB in the history of the NFL bar none and he is a barely 23 yr old kid that wasn't even on radar just 6 months ago.

He also has the benefit of learning from his almost ints without suffering the consequences of them.
Sometimes it's better to be lucky instead of good, he's apparently both.

How many angry fans last week when kyle called QB power for Brock? I was told that play was only for Lance because he can't run the offense

Wasn't it a QB draw?
