"Higher floor" and "lower ceiling" are just buzzwords to help add drama to an otherwise boring event. Play on the field is what matters.
Purdy is playing very well. The team has rallied behind him, where they could have folded the season with another QB down with injury, We have seen that happen to teams plenty of times. We have seen teams rally behind a young QB before as well… though not near as often (I don't think).
How cool and extraordinary to watch this season continue to unfold! Dang fun too!
Agreed. I think many may be overlooking the fact that coaches and players have known who Purdy was since before the season. Doesn't sound like the team is surprised by any of this. For fans, it's pretty new and some are having a hard time accepting it and are waiting for the other shoe to drop. Understandably so.
