I don't even think that 4th quarter is as bad as people are trying to make it out to be. He had two drives. Both times he was driving the ball well. The first Interception was bad. I cant tell if he was throwing where he expected him to be or if he just way threw into the inside. Either way this was a bad throw in a situation we couldn't have it. The 2nd one on the next drive was not that bad at all. we Less then 30 second left and no timeouts. He was one the run and we desperately needed a chunk play to have a realistic chance soon of winning that game. He forced a throw on prevent coverage. It wasn't as bad as people are trying to make it. It just looks way worse when it is coming off the poor Browns performance.
I think you were posting last night but I definitely agree with you in how you're judging those two picks. The first one was definitely worse IMO.
Overall, yes good take.
See I don't think the first was as on him as most think. If Aiyuk is running that route it's caught imo. Jennings got rerouted early and allowed the defender contact too long, then at the top of his route threw in a juke/fake that did absolutely nothing and seemed as though it was ad-lib and not part of the design. Purdy is the QB who threw the ball so he is ultimately responsible but I think Purdy was throwing to where he expected Jennings to be, and between the contact Jennings should have done a better job of getting off of and the juke move at the end of the route it slowed him enough that he wasn't able to get to where he was supposed to be. Now Brock has to see if the contact is enough that it's going to disrupt the route and not throw that ball, but he can't anticipate Jennings taking all that much longer with the juke move when throwing a timing route like that.
