Purdy seemed to make a lot of horrible plays. Made some great ones, but man there were a lot of head scratchers.
Our o-line had poor depth, despite what Campbell said.
Losing Remsburg for the whole year was the biggest difference between '20 and '21's outcomes.
We also pretty much avoided bad luck in 2020, and got hammered by it against West Virginia (officials) and Tech (62 yard game winner).

Purdy was constantly running for his life but had an uncanny knack for avoiding sacks and especially big hits.I think for most of that list, it's guys who are tired of getting hit. You can only tolerate it for so long.
I've convinced that if Sam Richardson was in a bar and saw somebody walk up out of the corner of his eye, he'd start twitching and run the other way. Dude just got pummeled
I don't think it gets talked about enough, but for some reason I feel like the 49ers recognize it. I remember Kyle Shannahan making a comment about how he performs well with guys bearing down on him.
Athleticism, footwork, length, and lateral agility are much more important in tackles. Not easy traits found in gigantic 300lb+ men. Guard is less demanding in those respects.
They are helpful at any o-line position, but at a certain point when you check enough boxes you are moved from guard to tackle.
This. EMAW and other forget LSU has 39 scholarship players for this game (with no scholarship QB at all).
Collin Klein was co-OC in 2018 as well. The KSU overall team offensive rating was #111 that year. He was demoted to QB coach for Courtney Messingham.

Klein was a unique specimen when he played QB. There aren't a lot of kids that can play that style and 1) be successful and 2.) stay healthy. How he played the game has zero translation to his skills as an OC but don't try to tell K-State fans that.
The OL took a lot of heat for Purdy's unwillingness to step up into he pocket and just make a throw too. The whole Purdy was running for his life isn't really the full story.
"Ok Adrian. I want you to put your hand on the back of your blockers and float around the line of scrimmage for a while. Then, I want you to lower your shoulder with zero acceleration and somehow truck a linebacker for 3-4 yards. Repeat that 12 more times. After that, I want you to shotput a wobbler like a geriatric with arthritis to your tight end for a touchdown. Trust me, it's unstoppable."

So many threads, so many choices. Apologies if this a duplicate.

Always thought BP had the same size balls as Brett Favre, but not the same size arm.
More to consider of the P5. The B12, top to bottom, has the most balanced odds to win the B12; meaning week in and week out the B12 puts a more exciting product out. This translates to an easier product to market for every game. Unlike the B1G and SEC where the balance is so out of whack. Even the P12 has closer odds than those two. Oddly, this means the networks believe they can 'hype' the poor matchups enough to gain interest to justify their contracts. And, therein lies the control of the media. Because enough people, literally 'buy-in' to the hype.
Decent writeup and I think pretty accurate
John Kurtz just needs a new job, just not a talented bone in his body. I feel bad for the guy though, hard to be that stupid.
