Here's what you're ignoring, those guys were on terrible teams, particularly Aikman and the Cowboys. None of those examples really apply.
We saw what Purdy was able to do as a 7th round rookie coming off the bench. That at minimum is the standard that Lance should be held to going into his third season on an NFL roster.
Here's what you're ignoring...the point is someone is making career trajectory statements based off 3 starts being 1-2 meaning he is not good and won't be good. Insanely dumb logic being applied there.
Obv Purdy played great and should be used to compare to Lance when he gets more than 1 consecutive start under his belt. I think Lance...because of our stacked roster...would have won games still while he was getting acclimated to the NFL and by playoff time with a year of starts under his belt could then be the reason we win in the playoffs and years into the future as a top 5-10 QB. That was the whole play with Lance in the first place with this roster. I want to see that play out.
Let's not forget Purdy played lights out vs mediocre to garbage teams and was contained by Dallas to just 19 points when he finally played a top defense that could get real pressure. Which is why it was so frustrating he got injured cuz I wanted to see if he could play lights out in the title game and super bowl vs elite teams in the biggest of moments esp Philly's defense. Now we still don't know how Purdy would have played in that game.
I dont care if Lance lights it up against weaker teams....it's can he do so in the playoffs all the way through and win the SB. If he can't I won't want Lance either same as Jimmy and am fine rolling with Brock even though we still don't know about him either in the biggest of games.
