If you adjust for the dropped passes, Purdy would have completed 71.4% of his passes. He also had a 1st down rate of 42.9% which was his best yet and is well above league average. He also was 50% on 3rd down with a TD. We had 12 total drives and only faced 8 3rd down situations. We were Purdy damn efficient on 1st and 2nd down.
There's no reason to adjust for dropped passes since few of them were on accurate throws. People were calling that throw to Jennings a drop, but Purdy under threw it by a good 10 yards allowing the DB to break it up. Should not be considered a drop.
Yeah, we'd need to look at every single drop and determine if it was the QB or the WR's error.
But even still... every great QB will have accountability and say that they should deliver a more catachable ball for their receivers.
All in all though... I do agree with the overall point. Purdy has been efficient. And even when he and his receivers were not 100% on the same page, and sharp, they moved the ball very well.
