This one I thought George should've had. Purdy threaded and it was there for George, hit him in the chest.
Yeah, but Purdy needed to throw that just a split second faster.
when people ask "how much more room for improvement does he have?" - those kind of plays come to mind for me because he'll get better with reps. The anticipation, accuracy, etc. he already does a fine job with those but he has so much more room for improvement when it comes to just operating this offense - think 2016 falcons.
after the first two TDs he started holding the ball a little longer, not running the bootleg fast enough.. i hope it's not getting to his head
You have to remember that there is more than enough film on him for defenses to game plan and try to make him uncomfortable - also, he is most likely seeing new coverages and his "go-to" plays are probably getting unique formations. I think it's just part of him being a rookie.
typically around games 6-12 or so are when rookie qb start to hit a little bump, I'm confident he will work through it. He obviously knows what he is doing - it's all about in-game adjustments.
that doesn't excuse his jogging bootlegs. especially the one that could've separated his shoulder and needed Aiyuk take away an INT. There were other times he locked on to players and ignoring the other routes. He just needs to take what the defense gives us
🤡
tbf i was worried he hit that rookie wall in the first half. that wasnt a great first half (even witht he two TD) he was averaging 3 yards per attemmpt and had like 30 yards. My concerns were alleviated in the 2nd half
The only thing i m worried about is some throws we are getting a bit lucky some of those throws could easily be picks (last few games there has been more than a few batted balls that go straight threw the air)
He has had 6 turnover worthy plays in his last 141 attempts. That his a pretty high rate.
Is this an official stat somewhere or just your opinion/observation?
Pretty sure PFF tracks that.
Yes. PFF tracks them. Fans are free to take them with a grain of salt. But someone brought the subject up and I brought up objective data that correlates with their statement.
Gotcha. How does Purdy fair compared to other QB's during that stretch or for the season? I don't have PFF access otherwise I'd go look myself.
Jimmy was at a rate of 2.9%. Josh Allen is at 5.4%. Patrick Mahomes is at 2.7%. Tom Brady is at 2.8%. Jalen Hurts is at 2.1%. Tua is at 4.8%. Purdy is at 4.3%.
Thanks for the numbers. I think playmaking QBs should be allowed more leeway when it comes to putting the ball in harm's way. A pure game manager type of QB should have a low amount of turnover worthy plays (TWP). QBs that push the envelope and create big plays for the offense will understandably have a higher number of TWP. Awesome QBs have low TWP and make many big plays for their offense.
I am of the thought that when dealing with accumulative stats than yes, I agree with you. A QB that throws the ball more should have a higher number of TWP's. But when turning it into a percentage rate than no, I do not agree with you. The better QB's tend to have a lower rate than below average QB's. Josh Allen this season has turned the ball over at a really high rate and it has cost his team some wins this season. It probably cost them the number 1 seed and it could end up costing them in the playoffs as well.
That percentage doesn't take into account the type of throws. QBs that push the ball downfield are at a higher risk of putting the ball in danger as opposed to the QB that trends toward the safe play. That needs to be taken into account. If two QBs have the same percentage, but one rarely pushes the ball downfield in an attempt to make a big play, that QB isn't doing a very good job of taking care of the ball, even though their % is identical.

What about the short congested middle of the field that takes perfect timing, a quick release and pin point accuracy? As we all should know with Jimmy, they are just as much a risk for turnovers.
Actually after second thought. Jimmy wasn't asked to throw the ball 40+ times a game and I would argue that his passes were much more important. Where he was tasked with throwing the ball was much more risky than throwing the deep ball down the field where there are naturally less defenders.
So I would say it is much more impressive that Jimmy's % was in the same company as Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow.
Kind of an underrated point. Even with Brock, given DC's know we don't normally take more than 1 or 2 calculated deep shots, in between the numbers, defenses can live comfortably with this knowledge yet our two boys were/are still feasting there...esp. Jimmy's TWP %. That really does make the case. Going deep doesn't necessarily make it any more TW, IMHO. The flooded middle does though (not the short stuff) from DL getting their hands up, LB's and DB's.
