Well outside contain was basically unblocked so we'll start there.
Purdy.....

Purdy was better in November than October last season
What was there? It sure didn't look super open to me. I mean, maybe he finds someone but we will never know.
I guess I'm not all to surprised someone from the staff that called the play thinks the play would have worked....
I mean, you would sh*t on him no matter what he did.
I think the play was silly anyway. You line up in the shotgun, you never go under center when you don’t do it regularly
personally I’m a fan of getting the ball in your best player’s hands. I would have probably went with the handoff to breece.
But I always liked that short pass to Allen that they ran with regularity for years
Absolutely false. I give Purdy all the credit in the world when he has great games. But only looking at the stat sheet does NOT indicate a good performance at the QB position. That's all some people seem to look at.
As I've said before.... you can go 17-23 for 255 yds and 2 TD and 1 INT..... and not have a good game at all. Stats don't tell the whole story.
But as I've also said.... Purdy's biggest problem is not himself.... but Manning and by default CMC. They have not strategized at all to Purdy's strengths... and that is why he has regressed.
He's won a Fiesta Bowl and was a first team all conference player. He's already proved quite a bit.
That will take a whole lot more than Purdy and that's the case for pretty much every player ever.
He's got the players around him. I still give him a shot.

30. BROCK PURDY, IOWA STATE CYCLONES
There isn’t a more unique quarterback in college football than Brock Purdy. He has steadily declined throughout his collegiate career, sporting single-season passing grades of 88.0, 82.2 and 74.2 in his first three years on campus. This year, Purdy currently stands at an 84.2 mark, but that’s largely buoyed by the three poor defenses he has faced in Northern Iowa, UNLV and Kansas. He earned a sub-60.0 passing grade against Iowa and Baylor.
The cyclones signal-caller has been notorious for excellent timing and anticipation when playing in the structure of the offense but turns into a gunslinger who tries to make superhero plays when knocked off rhythm.
