And of course having Kittle and CMC helps.

But you have to throw it to your WRs.. so for him to get them the ball, make it easy for them to catch most of the time... (heck even on the drops today, it was perfectly placed)... I mean that is what you want from your franchise QB.

It was just the Titans this week... but these next three weeks are against tough teams/defenses. If he and Kyle can still make things happen vs those teams, we'll be good for a while. Brock just needs to protect the ball, but also protect his health. He took some hard hits today he could have avoided.

Believe it or not, I'm still more comfortable with Mac Jones if we have to pass a lot. There was one point in the last Rams game where they were obviously stuffing our run up the middle but we kept at it even though Mac seemed hot with his arm...felt like we were wasting plays. I yelled out, "just let Mac go win this.. f**k the run and lets get 3 downs to throw the ball to get these 10 yards".. but that's in the past and its nice to know we have Mac to fall back on if needed.

But back to Brock, he obviously does things that elite QBs do with their eyes (head position) as well as ball placement. But I still want to see more from him before I feel comfortable again, like I used to be. The past two games, he protected the ball. And in todays game he did that WHILE still being aggressive. So yeah that is where it is at... I want to see that vs these next 3 teams. I don't need him to be perfect, but confident....yet controlled.

I don't disagree with your overall statement but I also don't want people acting how they're the same QB. Burrow is simply better and that's not a knock on Brock who is also a really good QB in his own. Burrow is just a level above. They have similar traits but Joe is a better thrower of the football.

But yes I do agree that Brock gets a very different set of rules in part due to his draft pedigree.

But how is Burrow better?

Purdy: 67.6 comp.%, 8.7 Y/A, 103.6 passer rating
Burrow: 68.2 comp.%, 7.4 Y/A,100.2 passer rating

People have been telling you Burrow is a top 3 franchise QB for years, but what has he done differently than Purdy to set himself apart? Burrow has two career games with a passer rating 140.0+. Purdy has seven of them.

How is Burrow better? Because there isn't anything that Brock does that Burrow can't do. The same cannot be said for Brock.

Once again I'm not here to knock Brock. Anyone who has been in this thread in the last few months knows I'm a big believer and supporter of the guy but I'm not going to ignore reality to prop him up.

I don't know about that. Brock is a much more effective scrambler.

Maybe a tad in the pocket due to his quickness but I still recall Burrow making magic behind a trash OL to beat the Chiefs in the AFCCG the year they handed the SB to the Rams

Honestly, we're splitting hairs here.

Burrow isn't clearly better. They both have enjoyed similar successes, Burrow a bit longer. Both have had ups and downs, both have played like elite QBs for long stretches, both have had tough injuries that have led to inconsistent play. Both have had dynamic offensive players.

Burrow doesn't have a cannon, but has a stronger arm. Purdy is average there. Purdy is very agile, Burrow is average. Both have good pocket awareness and, at times, elite playmaking. Both process the field quickly, are accurate, and throw with capital A anticipation.

I'd take Burrow over Purdy due to a little more sustained success. But they're really not all that far off from one another.

They really are though, from a physical standpoint alone. That's why Burrow went 1st overall and Purdy was last. There is little chance Purdy has the success he's found here on any other team, while if you were to pair Burrow with Kyle, it would almost be cheating.

So your argument hinges on what-ifs. Where the rubber meets the road, their numbers are remarkably similar. Purdy's first season and a half were as good as any stretch in Burrow's career.

Aside from having a marginally stronger arm and being taller, Burrow is weaker, slower, and less agile. Neither are particularly special physically, which kind of throws cold water on your theory.

This thread is comedy.

A month ago, people were legitimately saying that Mac Jones is better than Brock Purdy and now people are legitimately trying to say that Purdy is as good or better than Joe Burrow.

Never change, WZ.

I haven't seen anyone say that Purdy is better than Burrow, just that there's an argument that can be made that they are closer than most people typically rank them.

Id love to see an argument that states why Burrow is head and shoulders better that doesn't hinge on if he would be paired with Shanahan his numbers would be astronomical.

60% 3rd down conversion rate the last three games. tops in the NFL since Purdy came back.

So instead of saying, "oh now I see what you guys were saying. When Brock plays the way you guys asked the offense is dangerous" you say "nothing to complain about this week hmm"

Why no there's not. Because he played the way we've been asking. Funny how that works.

Oh no, you got me lol, thank you for pointing this out..

Na dude, even when Brock has played well, ppl have often b***hed about something, his arm, throws need more zip, needs to throw deep more, he will never be..blah blah ..good as the ppl around him, it's all because of CMC...if you haven't heard any of that then you have not paid much attn.

If Brock has an off game...it's 10 pages of cryin...he has a good game and there are reluctant tips of the hat.
Burrow gets every excuse in the world..Purdy under a microscope. 262 vs 1st pick.
