I usually can't stand Collinsworth but I give him credit last night for pointing something out. There was a play when Purdy threw a pass about 25 yards downfield. I can't remember who caught it. I think it was Aiyuk. Anyway, Collinsworth pointed out that he passed up an easy 5 yard completion because he saw the open guy downfield.
This is one of the major differences between him and JG. Jimmy would have thrown the 5 yarder rather than going for the bigger play. He's done it several times in his brief career. He seems to look deep first and then short if nothing is open. Jimmy seemed to always look shirt first and then deep. By the time he did the deep guy would be covered.
It was the pass to Jennings and he did a great job showing why Purdy >>>> JG for a KS offense.
Purdy processes what he sees (JG locks on pre snap)
Purdy looks deep first
Purdy can deliver the kill shots and make all the throws
