Laying in bed trying not to wake up gf with laughing. I’m not succeeding.
Wish I was in bed with my Gf or had a gf
Agree that Purdy has added to the offense and this is a super fun ride, but we also can't discount the addition of McCaffrey. The only L since adding CMC was the Chiefs game where he was fresh off the plane from Carolina. The weapons are everywhere.
This is a great post. Dude did some first rate analysis. Brock was definitely better than his projected 6th round pick. And I have no doubt that he, but for having played behind a dysfunctional offensive line for 4 years, would have been in the mix for the Heisman and an early round pick.
I noticed he compared Brock favorably with the humble, yet crafty Gardner Minshew. I like that comparison. What I also like:
- Gardner Minshew was transformed into an NFL prospect by Mike Leach during a highly productive season at Washington State.
- He was picked up by Philadelphia this season, and is now starting due to Jalen Hurts' injury.
- Philly and SF could be on a collision course to meet for an NFC championship, and I hope they do.
- This would invite references to the 2018 Alamo Bowl, a great showdown of CMC/Purdy vs Leach/Minshew.

Minshew was traded for before last season. This is his second year in Philly and started one game last year where he threw for 300+. The guy is in the 20-30 range IMO for QBs in the NFL. He should be starting for someone.
I like what he was saying, but I don't know how he can't give the TEs an A+ the way that Kittle played.
Was saying the same thing during the game. Minshew is a solid bridge QB type being underutilized sitting in PHI's bench.
Watch this old Purdy tape, note the background music line 'they gon' know my name now...' at 1:33 and 3:37 in...
When asked what Purdy’s gift to the offensive linemen was, 49ers center Jake Brendel succinctly, happily and thankfully replied, “Wins.”
Kittle wasn't suppose to be there... his route was to create space for the other receiver by pulling the safety away from him. But the safety was so far off Kittle, that Kittle instead created space for himself and just happened to be the same area as the other receiver.
No. It was in response to Trey Lance buying gifts for the linemen this year. The linemen acknowledged that Purdy doesn't have the coin that Lance does so they were not expecting anything from him.
I'm glad others noticed what an incredible play this was by Brock (and one Jimmy G couldn't dream of making):
