Watching various vids last night, everyone is like "Purdy isn't special, but he does what needs to be done." Or, "he isn't athletically gifted, but he makes the plays that must be made." Or, my favorite, "he's a game manager."
It's all backhanded compliments not giving him credit for his ability to play the position the way it is suppose to be played. I saw Jalen Hurts play yesterday. Purdy was better. He was also better than Dan Prescott. Brock Purdy has never lost an NFL game in which he played more than a quarter. That is now 9 games. and his rating is over 110 over those games, which is the highest in the NFL over that span. What's the O/U on games Purdy has to play well in before people stop questioning him?
Tom Brady wasn't some magnificent athlete, but we never heard these qualifiers about him. Purdy's a better athlete than people given him credit for too. Why can't people just judge him on his performance? Why the visceral need to take away from his accomplishments and continue questioning him? I just don't get it.
