Yeah, I'm sure it's everyone else. Meanwhile you're out here drawing conclusions from a single training camp practice.

Imagine if one reporter said that Purdy hasn't thrown one INT since camp started. Then you find out from another reporter who said all Purdy threw were dump offs and passes under 8 yards. lol

What would you think of Purdy? Good or a p***y? lol

How is it drawing conclusions? lol I've question Purdys situational awareness before yesterday it's my one gripe I have of him otherwise I like that he takes risks

My question is Who are you to judge somebody's situational awareness? What qualifies you to judge anybody particularly an NFL quarterback?

He's a fan offering an opinion like everyone else here. Lighten up.

Anyone can offer their opinion, but it might be better if people here deferred to expertise more. For example, amount of people offering their opinions in the substation thread without doing any research or reading any tweets about it is absurd.

But back to Brock, no one should care that much about about QBs throwing picks in practice.

LOL. What? Is that one of your aliases? I was curious if this fella had some prior experience coaching QB's. Quit trying to boss the board. Thanks

Self awareness clearly not a strength of yours.

You don't throw a Hail Mary into double coverage on 2nd down with over a minute left on the clock with the season on the line. You don't force it on 3rd down when you're in field goal range to tie. He for some reason wants to play hero ball and it's bitten us in the ass more than once. He has the situational awareness of Brett Farve

Please post when he did those things you speak of…

Yes he's had moments of playing hero ball when there wasn't a need for it but he's also curbed that in the second half of last season substantially and he's also made a lot of really good plays for us playing hero ball.

So since you brought up very specific scenarios and decided to bring up Brett Favre a guy who couldn't be any less like Purdy in many ways, please do post when Brock has done those specific things.

And this came from where just a trash post grenade you felt like throwing into the thread during the camp where even Grant Cohn is praising him?

Well he does this in regular season that's the comparison I remember him throwing a up for grabs into double coverage on 2nd down with the season on the line that ultimately was an interception. His timing and accuracy are amazing but I have to question his decision making, he will sling it when he doesn't have too.

Our win against Seattle is another example Jake Tonges went up and got it but Purdy threw it right into coverage on 3rd down when we can tie. These are not isolated incidents it's a pattern with him.


Like I said above…please provide the specific plays you're talking about because I'm confident you don't actually understand what you're watching on those plays to understand whether it was hero ball, bad situational awareness or whatever else.

The fact that you bring up how Purdy should've played for the FG and the tie in Seattle week 1 pretty much confirms that.

Yes let's give Jake Moody another attempt after he already missed 2 FGs and hand the ball back to Seattle at home with 1:30 left on the clock so they can march down and win with an easy FG.

Purdy was 100% right to make that decision and thankfully Tonges rewarded his faith. Seattle was 100% going to win that game had Brock just killed the play and we brought out Moody to kick(even if he didn't choke on another attempt)

So maybe Brock has a little more situational awareness than you at least.
lot of back and forth in here, only thing that matters in my view is play the games. he can be a great QB in our offense just need him on the field. today's game is pretty soft compared to the old days particularly for keeping QB clean. brett favre used to get turf toe and play on it you wouldn't even know but in today's game it's go to the trainer for a month and we have to listen to maiocco talking about how critical the toe is for half the season

I already have before and just did with the one in Seattle. 5:45 season on the line he throws it up for grabs on 2nd down. The back coverage wasn't as tight as I thought but still a terrible decision and bad throw



So you think it was wise to force it into coverage instead of tie? Okay let's say you're right because "we had moody" throw it away and go for it on 4th don't force it to your 3rd string TE

That year was fkd in all phases. He did try to play hero ball that year more than not but that is not who he is and has tightened it back up
