But the standard is a SB victory. Jimmy couldn't get over the finish line. Purdy is way ahead of schedule, but this may be his best shot. Lance is still waiting, unknown whether he can get all the way.
No rookie has won this game. A win would be historic and a loss means you're probably not assured the starting job next year.
Right
Now I'll pose this to everyone. Raise your hand if you don't think Trey can be at least as good as Jalen given more than 3.5 games playing time?
I'm willing to wager that Trey in his second game vs HOU last year was better than Jalen at that point his rookie year than Jalen was. I also believe that given time to develop Trey will be good
Now with Purdy, this is exactly why he needs to beat Hurts and Mahomes or Burrow. Even as a rookie is because he is older than Trey and he has played more than Trey and if we think Purdy can still grow then so can Trey
BUT
If Purdy wins it all then he will have gotten us what we've been chasing and THEN we can hand Trey a clipboard but if not there will be a QB competition this off-season
My hope is Purdy wins out and we get a chip and afterwards we'll have some good problems to deal with

Personally i think Kyle should take advantage of Purdy's tendency to scramble left with the drill to enhance his offense with Purdy. In a sense, that bobbled pass to Kittle was the kind of scramble drill I'm talking about. Kittle wasn't even supposed to run a route, but he saw his QB in trouble and found a zone for Purdy to throw to him.
Those Purdy tendencies to bug out and drift left, I think, is a good opportunity for the WRs to adjust their routes via a scramble drill, and possibly break a big one against the defense like Kittles bobbled catch did in the Dallas game.
Well, if Eagles think Brock has a tendency to scramble left, this would be a good week to work on having him scramble right. Screw Eagles up a bit. But big plus would be that when Brock is being chased around in the backfield, if he is moving Right, he can just uncork one while running. In the situations where he was scrambling Left, it is really hard ,sometimes impossible to stop, turn around and let one fly. Brock threw one into the Left sideline but it was awkward. Had he been running Right, it would have been an easy throw.
We'll see if Kyle works on having Brock scramble right on Sunday. I hope so. A couple times he got where he had to corkscrew himself around to chuck the ball. Running right, that just doesn't happen. My guess is he scrambles Left when the play is designed to go that way, nothing more complicated than that.
Agree that It is harder as a right hander to set up and throw if he's scrambling left. As others have said, defenses are forcing him to scramble left, either by a blitz or slanting the DLine rush, or stunts. I just think Kyle should take advantage of that and use his scrambling (right or left) to Purdy's advantage in those scenarios. I.e. moving pockets to the left and a screen to the right. The scramble drill is another way to take advantage of those defensive schemes.
You're absolutely right. After watching the all-22 from the last few games it has become apparent to why he often scrambles to the left. The majority of those instances it's because that is where his reads are flowing and he knows a roll out right only leaves him the option to run or take the sack.
Agree 💯%, and as others have said, McGlinchy isn't the most elite pass protector out there, so it makes sense that a lot of pressure will come from his side. Mcglinchy being Shot Putted by the DE was a to me.
That was sorta my point…have kyle work on pass plays that work to the Right, not the Left. Unquestionably Brock bails left most of the time because flow of play is Left. All Kyle needs to do is to call plays that flow to right…well, some of them , anyway.
If you look at Brock's passing depth splits, you will notice a favoritism toward the left side. Is it Kyle favoring the left for matchup purposes or is it because he is protecting a QB weakness?
Not so much a QB weakness, in my opinion, but an OLine pass protection weakness in McGlinchey.
Do you think that affects even dropback passes as well? Not just roll outs.
If Kittle is chip blocking the DE on McGlinchey's side, then of course you have one less receivers in the pass pattern on the right side - and most likely, Purdy won't throw to the right while Kittle is delayed with the chip block. Kittle is Purdy's favorite target, the only thing I can think of is having one of the WR's chip block (maybe Jennings?) to allow Kittle to run pass patterns on the left side. But McGlinchey is a pass protection weakness on that OLine in my opinion, and it makes sense for Purdy to bug out to his left when McGlinchey's beat.
First off, great question by YAC… and yes, i also believe Kyle was running pass plays Left in order to protect his Qb from the RT pass blocking weakness (but not unitl Giedi mentioned it). As for does kyle do the same thing ( ie , roll Brock left ) on drop back passes as well….that I would have to look back at the last 7 games and really see if that is so. Just guessing from memory, I don't think so.
If it's a kittle over the middle, or Aiyuk on.a 5 yd stop ,fake left, go right, no, i don't believe kyle is protecting Brock from poor PB on R side of OL. But if the pass is a 5 or 7 stepper, then, maybe kyle is running pass plays to L, to protect Brock. Just not sure about the deeper passes. Do you happen to know YAC?
