I do find it interesting that critics will use last year's playoff loss or the Ravens game a few years back to explain their lower ranking of Purdy, while something like last year's playoff loss for Allen, for example, is never brought up for him. Or some will drop Purdy in their rankings due to missing games last year for injury, yet Burrow never gets the same dropping in ranking when he misses games for injury (basically the same one last year for both of them, even).
Just seems to me that 1st round picks don't get dropped in ranking for costing their team with turnovers in a playoff game, or by missing a ton of time for injury, but 7th rd picks sure do (and the playoff loss due to QB turnovers isn't even something Purdy has done).
