he didn't. I think that's very interesting. Not saying he's giving up on Lance, I just think it's telling that they're not thinking that this is a gimme to Lance anymore.
Because the media will skewer him if he just hands the job back to lance. Last year you had the excuse that purdy was the 3rd stringer. Now that he's played and is averaging 31 pts per game and seems to execute the offense better than any have yet he can't say that.
If he gives the job back to lance and lance sucks people will call for his head and purdy immediately.
I think the real question people should be asking is what can purdy have done better given the circumstances? Should be be hanging 50 pts every game on teams? What are the expectations of our starting QB? Is wrapping up games at halftime or in the 3rd quarter not enough to win the job?
Has he not done enough to win the job back yet?
Actually you make some really good points. It was probably best for him to just not answer it at all.
i think Purdy has done more than a good enough job. I'm really curious how he performs in the playoffs. I think that will be a big thing for how a lot of us feel going into the off season.
if Purdy has a bad playoff game and we lose, a majority of people on here will want Lance to get a shot.
