My biggest concern heading into the Eagles game is Brock. I'm not so worried that he's going to shrink and make a kot of errors. We've seen what he can do and it's mostly good. The Eagles have plenty of game film on him as well and I'm sure they noticed that much like Jimmy, he prefers the middle of the field and isn't great on the outside stuff. The Eagles have a good enough defense that they may be able to shut down those inside routes and dare Brock to throw to the outside where their good DBs can cover. Of course knowing how to do it and actually doing it are 2 different things.

I actually don't think Brock has any problem throwing to the outside, nor does he have preferred to throw to the middle.

Throwing to the middle of the field is a Kyle's thing. He likes to exploit those LBs with his scheme.

I'm going by what I see and also what the pre game shows seem to have noticed. Purdy has great field awareness and does a good job of finding open receivers when he scrambles but his arm is not any better than Jimmy's. His longer throws tend to die a little at the end which allows the DBs to catch up. Jimmy had much the same problem. If he was 3 inches taller and had the big arm to go with his other strengths he would have been a 1st round pick. He's shown he can win without throwing those long outside throws but the Eagles have a very good defense and might be able to take advantage of his weakness.

Yeah, his deep throws aren't that much better than Jimmy's. But it feels like the bigger issue is they tend to be a step late. Hopefully his timing improves in the long run.

Really sick of the disrespect this guy gets from the national media and random Twitter idiots. This guy is a player. He can hit 3rd and 17 in the playoffs against an elite pass rush defense. He doesn't turn the ball over. He sees the field like a 10 year veteran. He goes through his reads and progressions. He throws an accurate ball. Just has it all.

They want to be right on draft evaluation and pick status. But the most missed one is QB. They mess that one up all the time. Picked too high. Picked way too low. We got 2 on our team like that right. If they dude can play stop worrying about his draft status.

And taking the sacks is far better than pressing your luck.

For real. Brock had an average of 3.64 seconds before pressure got to him. Our receivers must not have been getting much separation. It would be like a rookie to force passes into tight coverage. Good thing Brock is a 4 year vet.

What is more likely that one of the better pass catching units in the league isn't getting open or the rookie QB is failing to get the ball to them?

What does pass catching have to do with getting open? Also, our pass catchers have had one of the worse drop% this season. So calling them one of the better pass catching units in the league is a stretch. Also, DAL keyed in on CMC and Deebo. Aiyuk was very quite and Kittle was the only receiver who shined.

its okay just to say you think the QB is above criticism.

It's all about match-ups. We tend to attack the linebacker corps, but the Cowboys have a very fast, athletic set of linebackers who can keep up with what we try to do on offense. Maybe they were able to corral CMC and Deebo, but they didn't have a guy that could stop Kittle.

Against the Eagles, it'll depend on how they matchup. I'm not familiar with them, except that I know that they have 4 pass rushers with 10+ sacks each, and they have two superlative cover cornerbacks. I'm curious how their linebacking corps stacks up.

This could end up being a game that Kittle does well... We run out of passing formations. Maybe not a great statistical game for Aiyuk, and whoever their two cover cornerbacks match-up with.

I'm sure our coaching staff has a huge challenge with this week's gameplan.

I still remember Brady getting the same treatment when he took over for Bledsoe. I know it isn't because he's a rookie who hasn't proven himself enough in their eyes, because 100% of those jack holes were all over Trevor Lawrence's sack, DESPITE throwing 4 interceptions in a half. I really think it comes down to where he was drafted and the fact he was our #3. When he hoists the trophy it will be enough to bring most of them on board, but until then I can only hope that our opponents view him the same.

I never said he was above criticism. If you think receivers were running free and Brock was not seeing them than by all means post them so we can see it as well.

Purdy's accuracy is unreal. He was ice cold on those 3rd and long passing situations against that tough Cowboy pass rush. He'll need to be as good (or better) in the NFCCG. I personally think those underthrown balls are the result of timing and synchronization issues between QB and Reciever versus arm strength issues. He has a good zip on his throws when he thinks he needs to thread needles into tight windows, otherwise I think he'd have more interceptions.

Purdy played exactly like you should do against a great defense in the POs.
Be patient, stay calm, trust your coaching staff, your teammates, your defense, don´t make turnovers, convert on third downs.

I have no idea... Just like you have no idea. We will find out when jonnydel breaks it down. My only point was you were assuming the QB wasn't at fault, while I would assume when you have some of the best weapons in football (I know, you disagree), that odds are someone is getting open and the rookie QB isn't finding them.
