Purdy actually strikes me as the type that will coach when he retires. He loves the game too much and is very competitive. Will be hard for him to not be around the game.

I don't know. These quotes from the article make it seem like he's not as obsessed as we thought:

"I never wrote down all the guys that were taken before me. I never came in mad," Purdy says. "More than anything, I was excited. I had an opportunity to prove to myself that I could play at this level, with this team. And I've been thankful more than anything. Honestly, it goes back to my identity, man. I'm not somebody who has football wrapped around my fingers 24/7 and it consumes my life. Yes, it's what I do, I take pride in it, and how I work and what I believe in."

"At the end of the day, man, I'm human. I'm not gonna be able to play this sport forever. Like I said, I sort of just have it loosely held. Football is my thing right now, I'm gonna be all in on it. If it's not to be, it's not my identity, and it's not life or death. If I get hurt and I have to do something else in my life, I'll be happy with that, too. … This is where God has me."

Not saying he can't be successful with this mindset, but I think it's good for players to have a chip on their shoulder, especially if they've been overlooked.

He's downplaying it. Lol that mind set comes from him in college trying to do too much and making those horrible turnovers. He's really into his faith, so he's saying that if it doesn't work out as a football player, he wont struggle to cope with that and lose his sense of identity.

He absolutely is obsessed with the game, apparently has been since he was a young kid. Hes just figured out how to cope with the ups and downs of it by realizing that there is more to life than being a football player, that's all.

we are good hands, my man!

I read it definitely than Furlow, I read it as I'm playing with house money, nothing to lose.

You don't come into the league and learn Shannys offense that quickly without working your ass off. You don't identify your weakness before the NFL draft and work on fixing it if you don't care. He cares deeply he's just not afraid of losing it.

Interesting

Not once since Kyle has been here has he ever talked up a qb let alone from his play calls the way he talks about Purdy

Or let his QB throw on 4th and long with a 10 point lead like he did against Washington lol.

In that new article, Kyle talks about Brock made him so confident that he was calling plays differently. That's awesome. Most of us recognized that - we were actually seeing this offense at it's true potential, it was beautiful.

Yeah, sure, but we still need to get more "arm talent" if we want to compete with the good quarterbacks.

Reminds me of Walsh before the 1984 Super Bowl "how are we going to compete with Dan Marino and his amazing arm…."

Help me here. How many Championships did his arm talent win? Of course, he never had a good coach. I remember Randy Cross saying after the game, "The wrong offense showed up". But Wait, our quarterback fell to the third round because he didn't have "arm talent". Yeah, must have just been a fluke. That's got to be his only one.

Headwork makes quarterbacks, and teams that properly value headwork in quarterbacks over chasing brawn.

WTF?

Marino had Don Shula as his coach through the 1995 season, who won more games than any HC in NFL history.

Never had a good coach my ass.

I didn't interpret it as him not being willing to work hard, not at all. I was only referring to the obsession aspect of being an all-time great. Let's win a Super Bowl and get him to his first contract first lol.

There are a lot of youngsters on this board. Shula was as decorated a HC as the league has ever seen.

Wasn't he like three time SB winner by the time marino arrived there? He went to like five super bowls, had the 1972 undefeated team. If I'm not mistaking, that 1972 team was led by our current QB coach's dad (brian Griese).

Yea they went to 3 in a row and won 2 (lost the first one).

He also won the NFL championship as HC of the 1968 Baltimore Colts (but lost the SB to the AFL Jets).

Offense was not the issue with the Dolphins. They didn't have the defense to consistently beat the other big AFC teams in the 80s/90s (Browns/Broncos/Bengals/Bills).

The 1984 team that beat the marino led dolphins in the super bowl was amazing, only lost one game. It was to the Steelers and it was a ridiculous call by the refs. Robbed us or an undefeated season!

If you don't know your football history, don't guess. Do your research first if not sure because if you make a wrong assumption about a HOF figure, many fans will consider that a disrespect.

If you feel disrespected by that, then that's a personal problem. Lol not mine. Very strange thing to say.

maybe I just want to shoot the sh!t with the boys on here. Maybe They have cool insight, stories, or facts. To share. Not every thing on here needs to be researched. We can talk to each other like normal people.

EDIT: referring to training camp INTs. There have been more than I would have expected from Purdy had he not been coming off of an arm injury. So, given that some time has passed since he returned to practice, in the next couple of weeks if that doesn't get better I'm going to start worrying. Yes, Jimmy threw 5 INTs in a row in 2019, so it's not necessarily the end of the world. But it will concern me a bit if that doesn't improve in the next two weeks. I think by then he will have had enough reps to be fully back into things.

Already? If my math is correct, it was only 16 days after being fully cleared, do you really expect him to be anywhere near 100%?

The interceptions aren't happening because of his arm, I don't think. It has nothing to do with his physical status and more to do with his lack of practice. At least I hope.

Its been like two weeks. He didn't do anything more intensive than soft tossing the football for a month or two after not throwing since January. I'm most interested in what he will look like in early September.

I don't think these INTs in camp are because of his arm. I think they're because of rust. As I said to liberty, I really hope it's just rust. It sucks he's not getting the full off-season. That would have allowed him to sharpen the mental aspects of his game and go into Week 1 a better QB than last year (which would be a Pro Bowl level guy).

But if this is because his arm, and it's not merely rust, I'm afraid that might set him back and make him worse than last year. Really hoping it's just rust and he's going to hit Week 1 rolling.

Oh, definitely. Sucks for Marino that his best team went up against such a dominant 49er team. But I was also speaking as to why they couldn't get back after that. Even if they didn't lose to the underdog Patriots in the next year's AFC CG they would have faced the 1985 Bears in the SB, an equally difficult task, though they had given the Bears their only loss that year.

The Dolphins struggled to get back to the playoffs for a handful of years after that because their defense was bad, especially against other good AFC teams like the ones I mentioned. The only other AFC CG Marino played in was the 1992 game against the Bills. They also lost to the Bills a couple other times in the Divisional and Wild Card Playoffs from 1989-1995.

Nope, sorry. If you don't know enough about the wooden ring era you can't post!
