Teams have tape on him now. Any D cord worth his salt has him figured out now. Take away the run, easy throws, and make him beat you. He can't right now. He looks like he is paralyzed with fear of turning it over so he just goes into a shell.
Chubba Purdy
- Thread starter ru4nu2win_rivals
- Start date
And still turns it over anyway
If he can somehow pull his head out and just relax for 2 seconds, he can hit those open receivers and open things up for the running game. But I'm not holding my breath until he actually proves it.
I agree and you shouldn't. The pressure has to be immense.And still turns it over anyway
Shouldn't he get a chance to prove it one way or the other is all I'm saying.
Holla
Sorry man. He had a shot. He’s god awful. I’d go with Sims again as he can at least run.
How can you have the same genetics as one of the best QBs in the NFL, and be worse than Heinrich Haarberg?
Seems like today they started to take the training wheels off a bit and have HH pass more(even before they were down two scores), thinking they could open things up against a 2-6 team. HH is an option QB Rhule and Satterfield need to call plays accordingly.
I don’t believe Purdy is the answer because I don’t think you would want to run him as much as HH. If he can slide and make good decisions with the ball I’d give him a series or two, but he’s not taking the hits HH is.

Funniest thing about this entire thing is the fake narrative about Purdy being some stiff QB who can't run. That dude was like a top 10 dual threat QB and had 4.5 speed. I swear if a lie is told enough in here it becomes the truth lol.
No clue how he would do. I'm only saying they have HH a shot when Sims sucked. Give him a shot when HH sucks.

I'd kick his tires if things keep going the way they are going. Haarberg wasn't even on the radar last season, now he's starting. If Purdy could just complete basic passes we'd be ahead of where we are right now. Could still bring in HH for short yardage and GL if necessary. This offense is going to be duct tape and glue for anybody the rest of the way.
If they give someone else a chance next week, it should be the way MSU did it today. Planned.
Give the other guy some serious #1 team reps in practice this week and then try him for a series or two in the first half and see what happens. We can be sure the offense will struggle each and every week with HH so it’s not like you are disrupting a hot hand.

Just a couple of thoughts as I go back to before Devaney came, Michigan State might be the worse team I ever saw us lose too! Another another as HH reads the plays off his wrist wrap, could it be he doesn't know the plays yet & in what order he's to look for receivers?? Now a Qback to suppose to know all receivers routes, such is a checklist! Hmm!
True, our only view we got of him was running Whipple’s offense, which he looked lost in. Who knows how he’d do in Sattefields, I think it’s worth a try because HH didn’t see the field well.
Last year and in practice. The guy blows and has proved it’s too big for him. I’d start the other 2 backups before Chubs. That’s like calling for Andrew Bunch.
Don't you remember Purdy's play last year? I will remind you. He goes in for an injured Thompson with the ball on the Huskers 20-yard line. On the very first play Chubba proceeds to retreat from the pass rush all the way back behind the goal line only to make it worse by then clumsily fumbling the ball allowing for the opponent to score a TD. Can Purdy be worse? The answer is "Yes!". HH is turning the ball over too much, but Purdy will just score TDs for the other team. No thanks.
I know Rhule says the team has three good quarterbacks and he would trust playing any of them. Don't you think if he really thought Purdy was a viable option, we would have seen him play at some time this season. People on this Board are always writing how we have to trust Rhule. I think Rhule and his staff see what they have in Purdy at practice and know it is not good.
I don’t believe it was from the 20. Inside the 15 is what I recall but calling a pass play on first down in a pressure situation for a young QB newly inserted in the game was insane. You knew they were going to come with their ears pinned back. Purdy was never put in a position to have any success by Whipple.
Watching that had me wishing we had Logan Smothers. That kid in this offense would be FAR better than Haarberg
um no. ZZTop. Arrowsmith. A little Prince. Wide variety of other rock and jazz. Love Michael Buble’s vocals.
I just figured you had another allegiance to something that sucks and everyone knows they suck, but you really like them and there are some other closet followers. Nickleback = Chubbs
No allegiance to Purdy. I just am open to the idea that somebody else might be a better passer than what we’ve seen. Maybe not. Can’t be sure until we see him play for this OC in this offense.
He got to come in and easily look better than Sims against bad opponents. Teams are easily catching onto his weaknesses. He’s not a QB. His misses are not even in the same zip code. Just embarrassingly bad. Throw it anywhere near Alex Bullock and we win the game but he couldn’t even do that.
I wouldnt go so far as to say he shouldn’t be a QB. I think it’s obvious that he’s not ready to be a P5 Starting QB. That’s not his fault. Apparently Rhule thinks he gives us the best chance to win even with his shortcomings.
You’re not wrong, but that’s the only style of play he has success at. He’s not great at it by any means he takes far too long to decide to keep or pitch.
Rhule’s been wrong before. Especially on offense, almost all backups have been better than the startersI wouldnt go so far as to say he shouldn’t be a QB.

Actually I think they are very similar. Logan was a bit faster. Pretty similar throwing the ball (although Logan has a better delivery).
Sparty sold out to stop the run and left receivers open but Haarberg couldn't cash in. There were TDs there for the taking. It's concerning that we end the season with the best two defenses we will face and this week the best offense.
He's banged up for sure. Might be injured, but there are some serious mental lapses that keep happening too.
Just like Cody Green.
Twice put in as we were backed up inside 5 if I remember correctly.
Fumbled both times.
Terrible situational awareness by Pelini.
Cody was a highly rated 4 star.

Do you still think HH looks like he should be our starting QB? I know you were the biggest cheerleader for him and for a brief bit it looked like you were right. Since the dust has settled and we got a larger data set to examine, it’s clear he isn’t the guy. Missing wide open WRs like he has been in purely inexcusable. It’s not even missing at their feet. It’s balls 10’ over their heads.
Go back and watch Smothers against Iowa. Tell me if HH has ever looked like he had demonstrated that skill set ever.
Smothers would be starting right now if he was here. And we would have beaten MSU and would be bowling.
the smothers butt fumble game? lol
yes, I think HH should start this week because he's the best of the bunch at this moment. if Rhule wants to go back to Sims, it's up to him and that's why he gets paid the big bucks.
smothers would've been KO'd the first time he took a shot just like always. he would not be starting and he certainly would not be winning.
Going back to the end of the PURDOUCHE game, the play before HH fumbled, he was definitely hit in the chin by defenders helmet. Should have been targeting. Definitely think HH should have came out the game and been evaluated for concussion!
Believe he still has a few marbles loose the way he played last weekend and should see a doctor..
The 10:42 mark in the 4th quarter.. HH takes a Jenkins helmet to the chin.. his head snaps backwards..how did he not get a concussion?
Rhule should have had HH taken out of the game and had him looked at right away after that shot to the head/chin! Instead, the next play HH looks like he forgot he was playing football, gets jacked again and fumbles.
