Haven't heard from Gonzo in awhile and then he shows up out of the blue and is having a pretty rough day with these takes

This is where the conversation should just end. Purdy is a significantly better passer than Martinez, by a good margin. You act like Purdy's numbers are against high school kids and the big ten west is the NFL. Don't die on this stupid hill.
They played South Alabama, Northern Illinois, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Purdue, and Maryland last year. You talk about Purdy only being great vs bad teams and doesn't excel against the good ones, while Martinez does neither. In the first four games games of the year, he threw for 7 passing TD's and 2 INT's. In the final 6 games, he threw 3 total TD's and 7 INT's. That's absolute garbage.
Sorry but Martinez faced much tougher pass Ds than Purdy and it isn't really close. And before you start into the whole 'Big 12 passing Ds look bad because the offenses are just that potent', then why when Purdy did face top-notch passing Ds did he disappear?
Purdy
Notre Dame #3 passing defense: 17-30 (57%), 222 yards, 0 TD's, 0 INT's
Iowa #19 passing defense: 24-34 (70%), 276 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT's
Martinez
Ohio State #1 passing defense: 8-17 (47%), 47 yards, 0 TD's, 3 INT's
Iowa #19 passing defense: 10-18 (56%), 50 yards, O TD's, 1 INT
Hmmm which quarterback would I rather have.......
Purdy is good at racking up nice stats, absolutely. He led his team to a blowout loss against ND and a close loss to Iowa. Martinez led his team to a blowout loss against OSU and a close loss to Iowa.
Point stands, Purdy wouldn't start at Nebby. I think you actually agreed with that.
It's interesting when you look at total offense versus total defense from the last few seasons (camparing B10 and B12). The B12 teams are heavily represented in the top 30 or so on the offensive side and the inverse is true for the B10. The script flips going to the defensive side of the ball. While the B10 may have better defenses, the B12 teams have better offenses. A good offense isn't necessarily a product of poor defenses and vise versa. The B10 has better defenses the B12 has better offenses, in general. And that's okay.
My point about Purdy not starting at Nebby didn't have anything to do with talent. It had to do with Frost not being a competent head coach. And since we're using your logic on wins and losses, Purdy's been far more successful at Iowa State.
Purdy has better stats, has lead his team to more wins, is projected to be a better QB next year, and is projected to go higher in the draft. If you don't like Brock just say it. You have no stats to logically back you up besides saying Nebraska played better defenses. Okay? So Northwestern's QB played good defenses too, but that doesn't mean that guy's better than Brock either.
What are you talking about? The Big XII has good offenses and the Big Ten has good defenses. Has any Iowa fan disputed that? Don’t act like y’all are above the fray on this point - why do Iowa State fans get so offended when you point out that offensive players in the Big XII have inflated stats due to playing bad defenses and running a ton of plays?
A second round talent at worst? I’ll take some action on that. Personally, I would be absolutely shocked if Purdy goes in the first round. He’s a second round talent at best in my opinion, and really more of a 3rd-4th round guy.
*whispers* (I have stated on this website before that Big Ten defensive stats like PPG and total yards are inflated due to lackluster offenses)
That's fine. The fact of the matter is you can absolutely tell the good defenses and offenses in each conference apart from the fake ones.
