Purdy is easily the best QB Iowa State has ever had. And honestly it’s not even close(sorry Seneca).
Shaw looks like he has huge potential.Most of the line leaves this season, so not sure how much to expect next year. Pettway was our big, physical receiver this year. He will be hard to replace.
I'm still optimistic that Scates will be a big contributor before all said and done. Moreso than Wilson.Wilson will start over Akers, I think. I’d guess our top three receivers being Shaw, Milton and Wilson, barring a grad transfer.
Need to set the bar a little higher.Just have to go 13-0 to get it at Iowa State. I'm on board with that.

15-0!!
So about 6500 yds passing?What's the passing yards equivalent to 2,000 rushing yards?
He'll have to at least double that

La'Michael Pettway was at a loss for words on Brock Purdy's second half (17-of-21): "Brock is Brock. Brock is going to do what he do. I trust Brock 100 percent. To me, Brock is special. Brock is one of the main reasons I came here. Brock is special, man. It’s just Brock."
I figured this was just pipe dream talk but it's crazy how realistic this is. He's averaging 325 yards a game this season, which puts him on pace to finish the season at 4,225 yards this year, 6,475 in his career. If he does 4,225 the next two seasons, would put him just shy of 15K. Ty Detmer currently in 5th with 15,031. Throw in a conference championship game in there (or playoff appearance, while we're having fun) and he'd be in a great spot to get it. For records sake, it's too bad he didn't start right away as a freshman. Also too bad one of his games was against Drake, in terrible passing conditions.***Looks around and whispers***
If Brock Purdy plays all four years at Iowa State, he could mess around and flirt with finishing in the college football top-5 all-time for the passing yards in a career.
Brock will hold all of ISUs passing records when he’s done here, but he is not better than Seneca. Seneca played with a hell of a lot less talent, worse coaching, and a much worse offensive line. If Seneca had the talent around him that Brock does, not to mention the coaching, Seneca could have won a heisman. Brock is a great QB, and we are lucky that he chose ISU, and we are watching greatness, but he’s not as talented as Seneca was.Purdy is easily the best QB Iowa State has ever had.

Going to need the OL to not regress and to replace Jones and Pettway.
