Brock Purdy is the most clutch player in the state of Iowa's history

[JimDogRock]

That’s because of the way the NFL was in those years. It was all about the tall pocket style passer rather then scramble around the pocket and make plays with your legs. Purdy also gets the benefit of inflated stats playing Big 12 defense. Purdy has to put up a ten win season and win some awards until he can mentioned on the same level of Brad Banks.

After a glance at some active NFL QBs in 2002 that were throwing for thousands and rushing for hundreds of yards per year it's easy to see this is not accurate -

Michael Vick
Donavan McNabb
Daunte Culpepper
Jeff Garcia
Steve McNair
Aaron Brooks

I love Seneca and he was electric but once teams started to blitz him in 02 he collapsed. He lost 6 of his final 7 games, two of those by 50 points. That UCONN loss followed by the Humanitarian Bowl still give me nightmares

You can't be clutch in every game. Purdy has cost us wins as well. Costly turnovers.

It's possible I'm just remembering Seneca's clutch performances more because they were so dramatic and he was electric and amazing.

Purdy single handedly won his first game ever playing on the road vs a top 25 team. I love Seneca but teams figured him out and he was not very good at the end of his career

The guy throws catchable darts with a **** oline. Arguably best quarterback that's walked on iowa soil.

Whoa there. Isn’t Kurt Warner in the HOF?

 

[TRYHARDER]

Purdy had over 4000 yards and 35 TDs while playing the 5th hardest schedule in the country and behind an OL that "sucks". No Iowa QB could ever do that

So Purdy isn’t near as good as say Cliff Kingsbury or Graham Harrell were then?

They didn't have an OL that sucked. Apples to oranges

Purdy is great. Just think if he had a little more height.

Yeah Campbell sucks at coaching the OL

that’s really bad look for Campbell.

And a little stronger arm!

 

[CyTwins]

that’s really bad look for Campbell.

But a great look for Purdy right?

as good as a 7-6 QB can look I guess.

Do you realize he managed to win 7 games vs the fifth hardest schedule in the entire country all while having an OL that sucked? That is incredibly impressive

problem is they didn't beat the good teams other than Texas

Their OL sucked. What do you expect? You think they beat Texas without Purdy?

nope. or Kansas or UNI . I think you were 4-8 without him.

Gotcha. Makes sense why you agree Purdy is the best QB in the state of Iowa's history

because he beat UNI and Kansas? LOL. no

 

[CyTwins]

Why do you think he's the best in the state of Iowa's history then?

I think Kurt Warner is.
