This series of hits to BA was veteran money in crunch time. Purdy looks focused. Yeah, a bit Montana-like if you squint your eyes.
Could this imply he's got a "John Candy Intangible" in his toolbox?

I like how even-keeled he is. And I like that he KNOWs he's surrounded by good players and offensive staff. He doesn't need to play hero ball. He just goes out, executes the offense and gets the ball to the Pro Bowlers and All-Pros on our team.
As a side-note, I actually think that's why Derek Carr was benched and Stidham came in and played well. I don't like McDaniel, but he's a top offensive mind. It's odd to have a top 5 RB and a top 5 WR, solid supporting cast, but be ranked just outside the top 10 in offensive yardage and points allowed. Because when Stidham came in and executed the offense, they did really well against a top-ranked defense.
