Send Purdy back to Florida St.
- Thread starter SkerInCo
- Start date
Florida State? He couldn't even play for a directional Sunbelt school.
Then the commentary about him playing nervous.
Even Uncle Rico would be better than this pu$$y.
Purdy has all of Martinez’s bad habits - running back in pocket, locking in on one receiver, inability to read a defense, etc. But he has none of Martinez’s good traits.
He might be the worst QB I’ve seen start in the last decade. I would roll with Andrew Bunch over him.

Purdy himself said something along the lines of hoping it would be a fair competition.

I get what you're saying, but I'm pretty sure it's not Joseph's fault that Purdy and Smothers are the backups.
I have to agree. I thought we were getting a very different QB that could throw really well. That is a weak and inaccurate arm. Unless he is injured he is not the answer. Play Smothers.
Also, a lot of coaches would rather lose with high rated players than take a chance and possibly lose with lower rated guys allowing people to call them out for playing a lower rated player over a higher rated player.
Don’t misunderstand me. I’ll take my chances if I can land 4 and 5 star kids over the diamonds in the rough.
Great QBs start as freshman/redshirt freshman (IE CJ Stroud). Minnesota's 2nd string redshirt freshman looked like a pro player compared to Purdy looking like high school junior varsity.
I think you're wrong.. it's not fair to the rest of the team to have an unconfident QB. This is not something easily changed.
Nobody is saying he’s going to be a great quarterback but to not even give him the chance to try to develop over the next year or so is completely foolish not everybody comes in ready to rock ‘n’ roll on day one.
Like I said he should definitely back up Smothers the rest of the season however to completely send him packing at the end of the year is foolish like I said in another post not all players come in ready to rock ‘n’ roll on day one.
Maybe nothing changes with time but giving up on the freshman is ridiculous. If he still has all of the same problems at the end of next year and is second or third string then yeah move on.
Is this Chubba's mom? He's actually a 3rd year freshman, so calling him a freshman is disingenuous at best. FSU let him go for a reason.
give him a break. he's a young guy who's doing his best in a tough situation. Young guys gotta struggle many times before they improve.
Reminds me a lot of Will Howard last yr. at KSU...and then look at him this season....very good player.
I think the problem with Purdy is in his head. He's probably a good QB during practice but the can't deliver the same level of performance in a real game. The ESPN announcers even alluded to the coaches saying before the game that Purdy is too nervous when he's on the field. I think years ago we had a QB named Green with the same issue. Coaches kept wanting to play him because of his performance at practice but he could never deliver it during a game.
