I can't wait to see what Purdy can do with a full year under his belt and going into spring camp as the #1 guy. He was 3rd in the nation in yards per pass attempt this year, but losing Butler will mean he won't be able to throw those 50/50 bombs anymore.
Hard to ignore similar characteristic in common with the 2 QBs from the most recent National Championship game.

I have a feeling we are going to be flooded with a bunch of articles of either Brock or Mike Rose. Definitely wont complain!
Too soon to be jacked about football next year? Nope.
Man, I wish all the best for Butler, but wish we had him back for one more ride. I think he will be sorely missed.

This kid definitely has the "it" factor going for him. I'm really, really excited to see how he develops.
I hope his reasoning is because he married a super model
Hopefully Brock can break the QB curse that's been hanging around the program for years.

Tuas faith played a big role. Also, his dad beating him after throwing INTs helped.

I don’t understand why this is getting dislikes. Tua and his dad openly said in interviews that his dad beat him with a belt after he threw INTs.

From the article:
"If I don't perform well, perform the way I'm supposed to, I'm gonna get it after," Tua said, before adding, "Just know the belt was involved and other things were involved, as well."
I’m not throwing arrows at Christians and this isn’t about parents spanking their kids. I have no doubt Tuas faith instills a discipline in him that helps him succeed. Much like Tebow and many other big time athletes. However, Beating your child with a belt because he’s throwing interceptions in high school? That’s ****** up.
I haven’t seen anybody hating on him here which is nice. Pretty good choice for a role model.
I don't know your intentions, but your timing wasn't the best.
If it came off that I was implying that all Christians beat their kids, that was not my intention. I’m a card carrying Christian myself. It really bothered me that people just glossed over what Tua and his dad said during that interview.
Technically that is a requirement of Christianity, so I guess you do have an issue with at least that aspect of the religion.
If Brock is following the absitense aspect of Tebows life, I give him mad props on his will power
Pretty sure thats his sister. And thats something most Christians and Atheists can agree is bad . . .
