And NY that goes for you too, no need for hyperbole. Brock doesn't need a perfect OL or 75 and sunny. Guys need to make plays out there. It goes both ways...does every pass have to be perfect to be caught? Is it too much to ask that a ball not be bobbled up in the air so the defenders can grab it? Farrell fumbling it pretty sure had nothing to do with Purdy. Neither did Bourne dropping a huge 3rd down conversion and possible TD throw or the punt return TD allowed right after that play.
Purdy played poorly. I don't know if his injury was an issue but I do know there were plenty of sloppy mistakes by the players not named Purdy. And we're somehow shocked that QBs with inconsistent play around them aren't dominant? Bourne had 3 drops all on his own. A WR who Brock has barely practiced with and he's playing 2nd most WR reps in the game.
You take this game and flush it. Much bigger fish to fry now and arguably a bigger challenge, especially if Pearsall can't play. Everyone has to play better if we want to win Thursday and it definitely starts with Brock but no he doesn't need perfection...but whoever is out there also has to make plays for their QB. It won't always be pretty but guys get paid for a reason. If the play is there to make, make it or you're not beating good teams. We no longer have the roster to simply dog walk everyone.
hyperbole? This stems from last season all the same. Constant "well this is why he played bad" because of the weather, the OL, the players around him, he's "hurt" etc etc. at some point we gotta stop finger pointing at everything else besides the QB. Brock has gotta play better in these types of situations.
34 TOs in 1142 passing attempts is not good dude.
I expect more from our $250M QB than I do with Bourne who was cut or Farrell a backup level TE.
it's not even just this game, I'm fine with flushing it and moving on….Look objectively we all think Brock is a good QB and of course he's better than Jones, BUT is he $240M better? The expectations are WAY higher for him going forward and watching him toss s**tty INTs week to week isn't a fun way to spend my Sundays lol.
