I don't think Purdy's arm strength is as average as people think. He flicked it 40-yards on a dime to CMC without a full load-up. Watching it again, I'm thinking, "Man.. that doesn't look all that average after all".
agreed. i had initially thought his arm was noodley because of that TD to Aiyuk vs TB but i had not seen how the pass rush affected the throw.
He does a good job adjusting his touch to suit the situation.
Pass to CMC he dropped in the end zone was zipped right in between defenders, the TD pass to juice was with that "trailing leg" we hear qb coaches talk about--and was still perfectly placed.
...and he's hitting the easy throws without airmailing it and maintains his accuracy when he rolls out. That's very promising.
