Yes we will see. I'll be rooting for him every step of the way

I think he's got a better chance being Jimmy G level then Drew Brees, like some in here are assuming. I posted a thread of actual plays, man. Some good and bad. It's not cherry picking, it's him playing football.

yeah I want him to be elite. Do I think he's got the overall skill set to be that? No. I would be happy as hell if he proves me wrong and will be rooting for him every step of the way.

as far as his arm talent. If it's not a big deal to you then don't get defensive about it….it's not a positive for him, which is fine. He needs to be elite elsewhere and we don't have a clue if he is long-term.

What is Jimmy G level? Average/Below average QB in the league? It didn't take long to see that Purdy is a better QB then Jimmy for me. The offense looked different from the very first game he played and he hit throws/made plays that I didn't see Jimmy make during his entire tenure here.

But yes, Purdy is damn good at ball placement.

Yeah it's annoying. Hahah but you get a clear view of it at a Point.

yeah, he hit CMC for a TD the next play but that was such a great throw, it's a shame it was dropped. No big deal but would of been a great highlight. That and the Aiyuk drop.

Great find tank. Man I remember that throw too, was screaming at the tv and CMC, but quickly got over it and settled my ass down on the next play 😂 The Aiyuk one, man, that was so disappointing that he dropped it. My favorite throw/play from Purdy, hands down, from last season. Not every QB could do that, certainly not Jimmy and it was so refreshing to see OUR QB make a play when the play breaks down.

Those are the type of throws we weren't getting from jimmy, and I think being able to make those plays consistently is what puts you in true title contention. If you're always just trying to hit the open guy, you'll lose eventually. Have to be able to throw guys open too.

he may not look too sharp right now, but he's also going against the best defense in the nfl. So he's coming back Rusty against the best defense in the league. That's a tough task but should make the offense that much better

Just got a chance to watch the day 3 PC.

Trey is such a good dude.....can't help but like the dude and root for him.

1, 2 or 3 really does not matter to me, I just want the dude to grow and find success.

Agreed with all of this except for the idea that Purdy doesn't have the skills to be elite. I'd also add the caveat that it isn't likely that any prospect is going to be an all time great Hall of Famer, like Brees. It's always unlikely. That goes for the dudes who are big, can run, and throw hard as well.

No doubt. I mean we can agree to disagree about his talent level. I think it's more along the lines of Jimmy, which in itself is great for Brock and where he got drafted. He's already out played his contract.

I do not think he will be talked about with the likes of Mahomes/Allen/burrow/Rogers/Herbert etc, which should be the goal when looking/developing a QB. Not finding the safe guy who doesn't have the ability to take it to the next level, but can run your offense.

again I'll root all day for BCB hoping he proves me wrong.

Out of curiosity, if not arm strength, what sets them and a guy like Lance aside?
edit : and size lol. So looks like size and arm strength are the factors.

We said all the same stuff about Jimmy his first 5 games in the league. We all thought he was gonna be the next it guy. So much so that they made him one of the highest paid players in the NFL. Turns out more football should be played before we assume anything.

I disagree with the whole he made plays that Jimmy could never make. s**t go look at their stats from this yr (especially with CMC) damn near identical.

Well he has the physical talent to become a Drew Brees level player even if it is unlikely. And Drew Brees is better than every QB with elite physical skills you mentioned with exception for Rodgers and Mahomes… at least at this point.

I honestly always struggled with the fact that I didn't think guys like Alex smith or Trey were the type of QBs I wanted for the organization or thought they were special, because you can tell they're just really genuinely good people. Great teammates, work hard. All that good stuff.

i was really happy when Alex went and had the success he did in KC and then felt terrible for him in regards to his Washington time.

Rodgers career isn't over, but him and Bree's both have only one chip. So if it ends that way, I'd probably go with Brees because of his character and leadership. Obviously Rodgers is an all time great and all that good stuff, I just loved Bree's personality and the way he played the game.

Stats are one thing, but he plays the game different than JG. In that sense, he is no JG 2.0. For example, his ability to throw off platform, or side step a pass rusher, keep the play alive for a scramble drill. They are all unique guys, so I don't see a Brees 2.0 and I don't see a JG 2.0, either.

That's fair enough. It's a reasonable debate. For me, I'm taking Rodgers, lol.

Absolutely they're factors. This is a game full of the worlds most elite athletes. We got DEs running 4.4 at 275lbs. Size speed and being able to throw a football in places that no other human can does matter.

That's why Herbert just got $262M or Lamar got $260M. They are elite at something. There's only 32 starting spots at QB in the world. Even guys who are avg are getting massively overpaid, imo that's where Brock's worth is…he's dirt cheap. When it comes time to pay him, we will be losing a s**t ton of talent. Does he have that ability to take over the team and making for all that lost talent? For me at this point, I have no idea. I feel he's more on the lines of Jimmy. I'll be the happiest fan in the world if I'm wrong and I'll root for him all day throughout the process.

The biggest difference between jimmys first five games and Brock's 8, is that Jimmy wasn't running the actual offense while Brock was. I think that's how we scammed. Lol

jimmy was essentially playing backyard ball and just slinging it. Brock is was running the system and making off script plays.

of course, there is truth to the fact that it was a small sample size and it could all crumbling down but I don't think they are apples to apples comparison.

at the end of the day, jimmy was still a good QB. So I think worst case, we have a really good qb and best case - we have an elite QB. It's just a win-win. We also still have Lance, so it isn't like we have to lose one for the other. Can keep him.

Identical stats…People took a couple plays of him extending and act like he was doing it all the time which in fact wasn't true.



You should love the Jimmy comp, you were the #1 Jimmy fan…why are you acting like that's a negative towards Brock? You defended Jimmy for years.
