Iowa Football Recruiting
- Thread starter CyTexMex
- Start date
Last 3 starters for the Hawks have been drafted. Good situation for Petras to step in to.
Has a guy with a 3.5 out of 10 arm strength ever been a top 10 pick?
The best 3 defenses Purdy played against last year were Iowa, Kansas State and Notre Dame. Iowa State averaged 14 ppg in those 3 games. Purdy's stats against:
Iowa: QBR 68.8, 24/34, 276 yds,1TD, 0 Ints, 1 fumble lost, 34 yds rushing, 3/9 3rd down conversions
KSU: QBR 42.1, 15/30, 185 yds, 1 TD, 0 Ints, 0 fumbles, -3 yds rushing, 1/13 3rd down conversions
ND: QBR 71.2, 17/30, 222 yds, 0 TD, 0 Ints, 1 fumble lost, -16 yds rushing, 5/15 3rd down conversions
Those were the only 3 defenses they played ranked in the top 50. They lost all 3. I edited to add Baylor because they were ranked up there defensively.
Baylor: QBR 75.4, 27/45, 345 yds, 2 tds, 1 int, 1 fumble lost, 3 yds, 7/15 3rd downs
Iowa: QBR 68.8, 24/34, 276 yds,1TD, 0 Ints, 1 fumble lost, 34 yds rushing, 3/9 3rd down conversions
KSU: QBR 42.1, 15/30, 185 yds, 1 TD, 0 Ints, 0 fumbles, -3 yds rushing, 1/13 3rd down conversions
ND: QBR 71.2, 17/30, 222 yds, 0 TD, 0 Ints, 1 fumble lost, -16 yds rushing, 5/15 3rd down conversions

Also did you really go through and count every throw Purdy had on 3rd down? Lol what a life you must live
What would you rate Purdy’s arm strength then? I’d say average arm strength for a P5 QB is a guy like Jake Rudock, and his arm was still a good bit stronger than Purdy’s. If you want to bump him up to a 4 I wouldn’t argue too much, but there’s no way he’s any higher than that.
QB rating
Purdy vs Iowa: 148.5
Purdy vs Baylor: 134.1
Purdy vs Oklahoma: 197.3
Stanley on the season: 131.2

I used scoring defense. OK was not 38th
You say Purdy is a very good college QB but then you say he has a weak arm. I'm confused
ESPN's QBR - Adjusted for SOS because you focus on SOS so much

Purdy had the ball on every 3rd down attempt. It just supports Pro Footballs evaluation that he struggles in pressure situations
Oh my lord, you can’t be serious. That’s CJ Beathard territory. Purdy isn’t in the same stratosphere as Beathard in terms of arm strength.
Because he’s super accurate and mobile, and gets to play in the Big XII. He’s a perfect fit for that league. I don’t think he’d be very successful in Iowa’s offense, but he’s a perfect fit for Iowa State’s offense.
Can Purdy do that with as the article said “limited talent” around him? Hope he can survive behind a suspect line.
