Of course it's going to get brought back up because it was egregious in the same way that a lot of Trey criticism has been egregious.
That said, how am I propping up my guy by pointing out areas where Purdy hasn't been perfect? Purdy is MY guy. I was on the "Purdy should be the #2" bandwagon during the preseason and people got mad when I recognized that he was better than Jimmy back in October. It's funny to see that some of those same people who were critical of that take back then are now mad that not everyone is in lockstep in regards to the consensus that Purdy has made zero mistakes.
Please show me who said Purdy made zero mistakes. I missed it. Thanks.
Nobody has to say it directly. It's implied when people throw tantrums over it being pointed out that the interception was Purdy's fault or that poor ball placement lead to a lot of the "drops" yesterday.
I am pretty sure we are all in agreement that the INT pass was late and severely underthrown. As far as the drops, if it hits the receiver in the hands or chest/stomach than it is on the receiver. It may be credited as an incompletion. But in all fairness, QB's get credited for INT's that are caused by dropped/tipped passes even if the pass was perfectly placed.
I just don't agree with you on the drops thing. It doesn't seem useful in the context of discussing Brock Purdy to say that if it touches the receivers hands then it should be caught, because that implies that the QB doesn't share some of the blame for not making it easier to catch. It was fair to criticize Trey last year for rocketing short passes, because even though they'd hit the receivers in the hands, it's still making things harder than they need to be.
Oh, is that what this about? Someone criticized Trey last year for rocketing short passes?
I am saying that if the ball hits a receiver, it is on the receiver. Stats get charged to QB's that aren't always the QB's fault. I have exampled a couple of scenarios that demostrate that. You choose to ignore them because it renders your argument useless.
That's not what I'm saying. I'm just using that as an example of when a drop is on the QB even if it hits the WR perfectly in the hands. In reality, no drop is 100% on the WR or the QB. If you ask Brock, do you think he'd say that there was nothing he could have done to make those passes more likely to be caught? I believe that he would take some of the blame.
