Is Purdy the guy?
- Thread starter Mtowncyclone13
- Start date
You honestly think having a better overall back next to him would make him look any worse..?
Having the 'speed' backs playing has absolutely nothing to do with how good he has looked. He has a running threat that the D now has to account for, and oh yeah, his passes have been money.
Absolutely nothing to do with who's at RB.
Didn’t say it would be worse. Just probably some different playcalls and a more heavy dose of DM up the middle.
For the first time since I can remember...ISU offense looks like the other Big 12 offenses that have shredded us forever. A QB who can actually throw accurately and far. He needs to start next week.
People will need to remember he’s a true freshman so he will have some big ups and big downs, but today showed he has what it takes to keep the starting role.
He has a strong and very accurate throw and can make plays with his feet, a true dual threat QB the likes we’ve needed with a iffy Oline.
He will need to learn when to make the dangerous throws to keep from throwing too many picks but he can win us some games with those same throws.
Zeb isn’t a bad option but Purdy gives a lot more even though raw.

A little bit, although having a mobile/threatening QB helps them look better as well.
He looked great. Some of that is playing a worse D, and the surprise factor. OSU wasn’t practicing for a mobile qb.
But he threw some great balls and had a lot of confidence.

The last qb to wear #15 was a pretty good dual threat too. Must be the number.
He sure looked great but I think osu has a terrible defense. let’s see if he can keep this up.
Only problem with Zeb is he can't make up for our weak o-line. He's a pocket passer and we cannot give him the time needed to play to his style. Purdy just needs to make slightly better decisions and he will be Johnny Manzel without the d-bag syndrome.
So I’m on record on this site as a “not the backup love” guy, sometimes to a fault. I defended Arnaud over the Tiller/Bates love. I defended Steele over the Barnett/Richardson love. I defended Richardson over the Rohach/Lanning love. Hell, I defended Park over the Kempt love. And I was defending Kempt over the Noland love.
But this guy seems to be different. I’m all on board the Purdy train. I think he’s our guy.
That said, his style of play, he IS going to get dinged up. But I’m confident this staff is significantly better than CPR’s and won’t pull a Richardson and keep running read plays with Purdy if he’s only about 40% healthy.
