Football General Talk

Think they would've called that roughing the passer on Mahomes today Purdy took?
100% Mahomes would have cried his ass off and America would have demanded a rule change.
That was a good game the lions played hard. I really didn't see any of the crap the packers were doing like acting chirpy/ pushing then flopping to draw penalties or playing to get pass interference calls instead of trying to catch the ball.
The lions thought they could beat the 49ers straight up and they dam near did.

The team earned the win and the fans can have their fun, but if you think for one second Shannahan wouldn't swap Purdy for Mahommes, Allen, Stroud, Hebert, Hurts or Burrow you are smoking something. Hell he tried to get Cousins at last Senior Bowl but would only give a 3rd and Vikes passed.

Doesn't look too me like he needs to.
 
Thinking about this matchup- the one thing that impresses me the most about both teams is how long they have been really, really good.

The NFL is set up to prevent that from happening, but both the Chiefs and the 49ers have found a way to remain at or very near the top for the better part of a decade now. Props to their GMs and coaches for that as well as the players.

Maybe for Mahomes, but I don't think he would opt for any of the others. Seriously. The last two are way over rated, and, apparently, Purdy has the entire package. He makes that team go. Heber as proven he can't so far, Hurts is not the Hurts of old after thy year. Stroud maybe.
 
An interesting question that will be answered over the next 3 or 4 season . . . .

Will Prudy, with more experience, become more like a Brady (who did take a number of seasons to be a top 5 qb even after winning an early super bowl or two) or in the alternative, will he be viewed as more of a Flacco/Dilfer/Williams/Johnson/etc character? Good enough to win with a great team around him, but all in all just a bit above average at the job.

I could see it going either way and it will be fun to watch.

Interesting indeed.

There's a pretty good chance that this would be the kid's second Super Bowl had he not been hurt last year. That team was really rolling. But we will never know.
Right now, I believe he would be a top 5 this year on paper. I don't really follow that stuff, but what I've noticed in print suggests that he was statically a top-5 this year. It is very hard to name 5 that had a better year off the top of my head.

I believe Purdy doesn't have the outbursts of Brady. IMO, those outbursts accelerate his wins as one of the GOATs.
I believe, if Purdy continues and is QB groomed, he has the potential to be the next Joe Cool Montana.
