Suit up Cap'n...better bring a helmet.
Looks like Wallace gets another shot at a position he shouldn't be playing. We are going score a lot score board watch out.
When the schedule came out did you pencil this one in as a win? Did anyone?
Somebody who can't.
He's in the CFL..
I think people are still undervaluing Purdy because of his draft position and because he doesn't have a rocket arm (You know, like J'Marcus Russel or Ryan Mallet, say.). If Drake Maye turns out to be as good a player as Purdy (of a different variety, of course, given their innate athletic skills), I'll be more than happy.
The storyline of Strange's career
Maye has far superior athletic ability than Purdy. Everything is perfect around Purdy, the coaching, the weapons. He was dropped into the drivers seat. What would be impressive to me is if Purdy had lesser talented players like we do and elevated them. Some people get Purdy confused with another 199th pick that's about to be in the HOF.
I also have a 00000000.000 chance of hitting the power ball.
It's so hard to tell! For example, I watched some of the Commander's game, and Daniels looked great! Throwing beautiful balls. But he could have ordered pizza back there, he had so much time to throw. How do you judge when poor jacoby or eventually drake has someone jumping on their head in two seconds? Hard to compare .. hard to know.
Let's hope he comes back after the Bye: week 14.
Everything - this year certainly - is far from "perfect around Purdy." His line is not great, so he's having to run all over the place, and a number of skill players are having medical issues. I don't confuse him with anybody, certainly not ol' #199, but in a league in which maybe a third of the teams have a QB who really enhances his team's chances, we would be fortunate to have a QB that good, to have Maye so develop. Maye does have superior athletic skills, but the correlation between various sorts of athleticism and success as a QB is not at all very reliable in my judgment. Purdy may not get lovers of the measurable all hot and tingly, but he can play the position, which in the end is what matters, particularly given that "athletic QB's - qb's who rely on athleticism - generally have the athleticism pounded out of them by year three or so. The duration of any qb, initially "athletic" or not, ultimately depends on their ability to learn how to run an NFL team, an ability that matters more and lasts far longer than their ability to run the ball. Running backs have short, often flash-in-the-pan careers, so do athletic qb's who don't bother to learn the stuff players like Purdy have mastered: the Cam Newtio, RG III's of the world.
I hope you are right if the game is close and Brissett is struggling do you think Mayo pulls him for Maye?? Would Mayo let one slip away with Brissett if he can steal it with Maye??
We took Zapper in the same Draft people seem to forget that.
