Brock Purdy is a God

Yes but what this graph doesnt accurately reflect is the % of times Purdy "Threw his receiver open"

What a God

Brock Purdy looked like he didn’t know whether to shit or wind his watch today after that’s first drive.

…..and on that first drive, Purdy completed one pass.

A yard and a half shovel pass for a TD.

[Kodiak.]

Well, now Purdy has had almost as many bad games as Kenny has had good games.

Weird how Purdy was brutally awful when 2 of his superstar weapons went down, huh?

Guess having Shanahan, Kittle, Aiyuk and that elite o-line and defense wasn’t enough to help Brock get the win today.

Change Pickett’s bio from Pitt to Penn State and Perch would be very high on him.

Change Pickett’s bio from Pitt to Penn State and Perch would be very high on him.

And change his bio from Pitt to Mississippi State and EVERYONE would be ready to run him out of town.

No, the one who identifies as Yoko Ono would only be even higher on him

Go start another thread about how Ben should hang ‘em and then cry about him being disrespected.

Pickett is small

Pickett is weak armed

Just those ^^^^^ two things make his chances for Lombardi success very slim

Factor in he isn’t exceptional on his feet

He struggles to read defenses

His accuracy is inconsistent

I can’t figure out why the dum dum crew here washes his balls unless it’s just to contrary for contrary’s sake

Football is a team sport. KP does not have to be perfect. Just don't lose games.

IIRC Purdy is also #1 in the NFL at added points beyond expected when receivers are covered.

I think the guy just lost for the first time in an NFL game he started and finished. Things didn't go their way today: weather, the officiating was awful, Browns pass rush was more disruptive than usual, and they might have the two best CBs in the NFL. Was not a good game for them. Go get 'em next week.

I'm not going to crucify the guy for one game in less than ideal circumstances.

[bradshaw2ben]

Yeah, that's really the lesson here. Like they decided today there'd be no more undefeated teams.

Actually it’s more than that.

Purdy didn’t have a dominating running game and the best RB in the entire NFL after CMC left the game injured. Then Purdy lost his elite WR/RB combo. Swiss Army knife stud then gone. Browns shut down the running game completely and made Lil’ Brock actually win with his arm against relentless pressure, which owned his elite o-line.

Never saw that movie before, have we?

Brock didn’t handle being one dimensional very well.
Threw several passes up for grabs and he’s very lucky he didn’t have 3 or 4 picks. Very fucking lucky.

He was outplayed by….fuck….some journeyman.

QB’s hate having no running game and pressure coming fast from all angles. Today was the first time Brock has had to deal with that against a really good defense since the Eagles broke his wing.

Pickett, with his OC, o-line and before Warren was allowed to have a bigger role, basically had to deal with shit like that on a weekly basis.

Welcome to the club, Brock.

Using one game to make or break the guy's career might be unjustified, brother.

C;mon, don't steal from other posters. I know you're lazy and, well, a bit slow but you can still do better.

Also, you don't get to say that when you were calling for Ben to retire way back in 2016.

I said Ben being afraid to sneak or run PA would prevent him from winning another championship. Help me out, cupcake - did Ben even win a single playoff game after I posted that thread?

I was 100% correct - Ben was still 1000X better than Kenny, but his championship days were long behind him.

It didn’t make or break Purdy’s career. He probably still should have won and I doubt CMC and Samuel will be gone long term.

But Brock found out today what Kenny Pickett basically sees weekly. No running game. No separation from your receivers and lots of pressure because your o-line is getting destroyed.

That’s why Brock should thank his lucky stars everyday for his supporting cast on both sides of the ball.

Then cried about he’s been disrespected by those saying he should hang ‘em up.



That’s just beautiful, son.

Just a level of stupidity very few have reached.

I'm eagerly waiting for an update to Purdy's better than Rodgers, and Jackson MVP seasons numbers, I'm sure we'll see it sometime very soon. Stats only guys, without using any context to interpret the stats, make for some really phunny stuff.

Those trying to synthesize the "back to reality" posts about purdy down to KP8 fanboys rejoicing are missing the point entirely, and it's comical.


Look at the fuckin title of this thread, and the at the time of posting true, but totally out of context stats, being thrown out by some of the replies; then simmer in them for a while.

Even if the not so veiled slights of KP8 weren't the obvious reason for the crazy hyperbole from the "all 22 watching, self proclaimed, highest informed Steelers fans", for an average talent, mediocre arm strength QB, literally every team passed on the maximum amount of times possible in an NFL draft; most knowledgeable NFL fans, without any investment in KP8 or the Steelers, would probably say those thinking purdy ever sniffs Brady, Rodgers, Mahomes, or even LJ level accolades at this point are either high on drugs, crazy drunk, or maybe someone who doesn't really know how to properly evaluate NFL QB talent.

If McCaffery, and Debo S. to a lesser extent are out for any significant amount of time, which of you purdy luvers want to put money on him continuing to put up gaudy numbers, even in Shannahan's next level game plans, a top two D, and sturdy Oline? All of you, some, one, none?

[Steelperch]

Change Pickett’s bio from Pitt to Penn State and Perch would be very high on him.

Funny, I was very high on Aaron Donald, Larry Fitzgerald, Darrell Revis coming out of Pitt…. Why did I think those guys were good draft prospects but Kenny Pickett was not? I also wasn’t too high on James Conner. Flip to Penn State and I’ve hated pretty much every QB they’ve sent to the NFL as a prospect. How does this bias work? I’d love to know.

[Jizz Mop]

The Purdy comparison has gotten silly

Can we start comparing Kenny to someone more in step w him?

Like Dan Marino?

Like your way of thinking, fixed your post for those sarcastically challenged

[stillthere]

Purdy is better than Kenny.

So what?

Tom Brady: pick 199 R6.

It happens.

I agree.

Jaylen Warren was udrafted.

We get lucky too. Parker, Foster, Harrison, etc....

[stillthere]

If it were *only* Pickett missing open WRs and bailing on good pockets, then fine. But...
- The o-line has been a sieve in pass pro
- The running game has been flat
- Receivers cannot get open
- The #1 WR and TE are both hurt

And last (but not least): We're all making the same complaints about the stale offensive scheme/concepts that we were making under Ben and Mitch.


Did people just memory-hole the fact that Ben looked like a drooling idiot for 3/4 of the game in his final season? I get that he went Superman in the 4th quarter of games, but he was a 17 year vet at that point. Of course he had a good command of how to run an NFL offense on the fly. No 2nd year QB is going to do that.

Stop Making Sense.

....which I just saw in the theater 2 days ago for the first time since 1984 and it was even better than I remembered.

Also, I tried to bring up Ben's final year under Canada and there's no point. Kenny has been flat-out bad at times, no fucking question about it but I have a vivid memory of forcing my family to watch the Steelers/Titans game in Disney World during a family vacation.

Among the ugliest offense I've ever seen.

The second half of the Seahawks game that TJ Watt won all by himself.

Pickett has a ton of warts right now. No one in their right mind would argue otherwise but like you mentioned (you actually missed something....the o-line can't run block either) the entire offense is a mess....with coaching, in my book, being at the very top of the list of fuck ups.

If Matt Canada scripted the first 2 drives of that game yesterday, he must have had a toddler draw up those plays.

Great points.

Sadly, this coaching staff could fuck up many player’s success. I think of the few good players we have, players who have been excellent from day one, and there are only a few.

Watt, Minkah, and Heyward.

Saban said, Minkah is the best football players he has ever coached at BAMA, and Watt, Heyward have exceptional football genes.

Other than those players, (maybe Highsmith) who has the coaching staff developed into solid NFL starters?

Look at the young players on offense. Do you think any of them will get the coaching needed that’s crucial to their football development?

KP has been awful but so have most of his supporting cast and the coaches are failing this team.

I would say Highsmith is a definite. Mike Hilton was nicely developed into a good player. I would say Cam Sutton was developed nicely. Isaiah Buggs blocked a kick today. Willie Colon had a 10 year career as a 4th rounder. Josh Dobbs and his team mate out in AZ James Conner.

If you don’t agree that the Penn State football program should’ve been given the death penalty times a million for JoePa’s cover-up of child rape you don’t get to opine on football in general.

That’s how this bias works.

Come around to my correct side of that issue, and then tell me what you think about Kenny Pickett or anyone else.

[Steelperch]

Purdy just locked up league MVP today. 4 Tds, 0 INT 135 QB rating while his only real competition Dak Prescott threw a pick, 0 TD and got blown out. Amazing story that Purdy is!
