Purdy good article
- Thread starter Pleasanthillclone
- Start date
wow, that's a harsh lead-in. Might as well just read "how does this hot trash player with no business being a QB end up having a successful NFL game"
To bad that guy don’t come work with our quarterbacks for like two weeks.
CJ Ham: 5'11" 250 lb
Brock Purdy: 6'1" 220 lb.
Big quads is about the only thing in common!
He's in the PERFECT situation. Top notch Head Coach/Offensive Play Caller. Elite surrounding talent from RB to TE, WR to OL. High level defense. Good not great division with good weather.
Honestly not a whole lot unlike Garoppolo's coming out season with the Pats
Brock's experience bit him a little bit in the draft process. There was sooo much tape to dissect, the harder you look the more you'll find. The knocks on him are fair. Not great size, average arm, not overly athletic, can make dumb decision from time to time. That doesn't take into account a guy who led a historically bad program to 4 straight bowls, NY6 win, first conf championship appearance and rewrote basically every school record possible. Things they can't measure - heart, leadership, moxie - Brock has a ton of. Give me a Brock Purdy 10/10 over a Drew Lock type who has all the tools, but not "it".
Build of a fullback?
Brock Purdy is not the next Tom Brady. Confirmed, he’s the next Mike Alstott!

There was one talking head show where the guy was comparing him to Jalen Hurts as if they were from different universes...ah there was an actual game they both played in a few years ago where he outplayed Hurts.
Sure there is experience to account for but even in that college game Hurts also had an extra 3 years of college experience.
I certainly like my bandwagon Cyclone pro teams to be loaded with elite talent.
Was nice watching Monte play with Jokic and now Niang benefit from Embiid. Haliburton is probably our Cyclone who is the guy himself. Breece was definitely looking like the guy before the injury. Purdy could thrive the way Monte and Niang have in their roles. Just any starting QB is automatically in the spotlight.
Lazard said the same in a podcast...essentially he was playing sooner than expected and some freshman year tape was used against him.
I honestly was thinking when i read the article...i wonder if that is something we (or NIL) could do for a QB. Meaning, they get coaching...but say we tell JJ Kohl or Dekkers "during the summer of your first year after starting, we will send you to work with XYZ group to help with XYZ"
You're right on with the experience angle - Brock's shortcomings were a lot less of a mystery than a similar player that maybe only started a year or two.
"Potential" always sneaks into draft selections in any pro league. If a prospects meets certain physical characteristics, there's the possibility they can coach him up on mechanics, heart, leadership, etc. Meanwhile, no amount of technique or training is going to make a guy 4" taller.
