Purdy mini camp

[Land Grant]

Purdy is the winningest QB in ISU history. I can make an argument on both sides that he contributed to those wins while also holding them back.

I tend to error on the side of him holding back the team. Our best roster in school history won 7 games. QB is the #1 reason for wins and losses.. Dead arm Kempt with less of a roster.

1) Bad turnovers
2) Lack of ability to stretch the field
3) Size
4) He seems to get some tunnel vision

Overall he was a good player and a great person. ISU is a better place today than when Brock came to campus.

Neither Purdy nor Kempt are NFL quarterbacks. Between the two, I think Kempt had the better overall skillset for a college QB. Smarter, even tempered, able to read the game much better.

It's all conjecture and amusement of course, but I think with a healthy Kempt instead of Purdy the 2021 team wins 11-12 games (including a major bowl).

At OU Kempt. Maybe. The defense fell apart last season in A LOT of moments and we had 5 guards on the line. I think 10 wins would be the ceiling

I don’t know. Brock seems like the kind of guy that could waste all his money on hookers and blow.

I'm not here to judge a guy for having a good time.

 

[theshadow]

If he can't make it in the NFL his skill set seems about perfect for the Arena league

Too bad the AFL shut down in 2019.

 

[rickyrudd]

Maybe the 9ers could just stash him away until Brocktober, then put him back on the sideline in Treyvember

I listen to Sirus Big 12 channel on my way to work each morning, all last fall, talking about ISU, all the announcers said the same thing, " for ISU to have that special season, Purdy needs to step up and be special". We all know that never happened, he was solid, but not a Joe Barrow type of season, that we were hoping for.

Can he play in the NFL, sure, he just has to work to his strengths, but with his arm strength, its going to be a struggle, not impossible, but he needs to be on the right time that dinks and dunks, which the 49ers are.

I just can't get this stat line of Purdy's out of my head.....

13/27 for 138 yds, 0 TD's, and 3 INT's.

That's how he performed under the biggest lights and with the most pressure when Gameday was in town against Iowa last year. Granted, it's only one game, but it was the game ISU fans were thinking they were finally going to beat Iowa with most likely our best roster in history.... and Purdy laid an egg and was yanked.

Dekkers came in that game and finished 11/16 for 114 yds , 1 TD, and 0 INT's. But that was mostly in garbage time against Iowa's backups.

I realize this post is kind of unfair.... but that game just really stung BAD. We easily had the better roster and had Purdy just had an average game where he didn't hurt us, we would have won.... but he flat out stunk it up.... and because of that we had no chance in that game.

The way some people on this board talk about Purdy I swear he must have banged your wives.

To your point, we did have similar success with Kempt.

Purdy benefited from the talent around him more than Purdy made the team better imo. No ISU QB had the defense and offensive skill players around him. The OL was okay, and would have been better with a QB that had an ability to create a pocket and make quick reads. His freshman season was maybe the year in which he added wins to what we couldn’t have gotten otherwise.

Hopefully he can be the 3rd/4th QB pseudo coach role that many career backups find

I wish nothing but the best for Purdy, I really do. I hope he ends up on a NFL team and sticks with them. I want him to be great, and have great success.

I just think he was a really good QB for ISU, but not great... that's all.

Purdy hurt the OL last year. He was mobile, but he didn’t have good feet

If you know it's unfair, why'd you bother?

It's not fair either way.... to bring up only his bad games.... or just his good ones.

 

[dafarmer]

If Purdue had an OL that was more than just competent, wins would have came. Would Barrow had a Heisman season with ISU’s Ol?

The team collectively laid an egg multiple times last year.

The Iowa meltdown was a total team effort.

Fundamentals are important.

Which Iowa starters were pulled? I was there and remember their Dback starters were in. So please tell which backups were in.

This. That thing was a epic cluster **** in every way.

I do think we pulled our starters before Iowa did.... in fact many were upset that CMC was throwing in the towel so early.
So Dekkers did play against Iowa's starters for a little bit, but not very long from what I recall. Played against Iowa's backups longer than he did against their starters anyway.

They overcoached him to be honest
