Purdy, as a rookie, was one game away from the Super Bowl. We all know that the 2nd year of a players career is where the greatest improvement of that player occurs!

Yeah but they don't usually spend that second off-season rehabbing. I think his big jump will be year three, or second half of year two.

The second year growth is usually from the game slowing down and being a better student. I'm banking on Brock being even better year 2.

Meh, he wasn't rehabbing his brain. It was his arm.

I think Brock will be sharper and more decisive, he'll know how to respond in more situations quicker. Last season he missed a lot of his first reads - he just made it work sometimes with his off script ability or 2-3rd read. There were times where it stalled drives though.

he's had time to review his own film, to really digest the playbook/ask questions, he's getting a ton of reps in practice this camp. He's also someone who has shown that he adapts and adjusts fast, so all the mistakes he's been having in camp - are great learning lessons. He doesn't give me the same vibe that Jimmy did where he never seemed to learn from his mistakes.

i even look at lances reps from last night like that. He didn't play well but at least he got some reps and has more film to study and get better from. It's all part of the process.

Yeah but his issues, the few that he had, are things you learn by experience, not reading a book. Seeing the defense better, reading the defense better, being on time more often (like his deep incompletion to Jennings in the WC game).

You're acting as if he really missed significant time, he did not

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.

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

OMG ! That was the point I was making. Don't leave a great smart quarterback that allows Kyle to be aggressive with his offense to chase big "arm talent", when the guy that had the best arm, and team, And Coach, Never won a Superbowl, and only got there once. He lost to a 3rd round quarterback who fell in the draft because he didn't have arm talent. I guess I better explain that was Joe Montana, who was smart but did Not have a big arm, and that was not his only one as he did win four of them.

Please read my last paragraph.

Agree about the youngsters. They're always proud to pronounce they quit reading after seeing something, but then feel they can make an intelligent response.

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).

If you read my post, it talks about Marino's arm talent not winning Super Bowls. Not his coach. Your post about Marino led into it. Yes Shula was tremendously successful, but he could never win it with Marino's "arm talent".

The way you phrased it didn't read that way. (Sarcasm doesn't always come across clearly in text). I'm glad to know you're not misinformed or crazy.

If Brock gets even better, does that mean the offense is going to average 40 ppg instead of the 30 ppg from last season?

First day was April 17th. He was not cleared until July 25th. That's all of OTAs. All of Mandatory Minicamp. All of the months after the season in between to get everything ready. He missed a lot of time. You'll say, "But the 11 on 11 stuff he barely missed." Except when he needed to be focusing on that stuff, he was also burdened with focusing on all the things healthy players get in the months off, OTAs, and Minicamp.

Expecting Purdy to be fully up to speed at the same level as a similar second year player who didn't miss time due to injury is a bit unreasonable.

Depends on how much better. In this day, that's not an impossible feat. And with this team, I mean, again, it's not impossible.

Sorry. I was being sarcastic. Can Brock grow but it not necessarily show up on the score board? Absolutely. I have a hard time seeing this offense produce at a significantly higher level than it did last season with him at QB. I do think that defenses will be better prepared for him and that if the offense is going to maintain its production from last season Brock will have to stay a head of the curve.

The only thing that really worries me is our Oline. I'm hoping that is not going to be our Achilles heel.
