Should Dekkers start against UNLV.

Put in Tiller!!! Good God there are some reactionary dumbasses in here.

Purdy hasn’t thrown deep well in two years.

He's awful at the deep ball, really very poor. He had a couple of go-up-and-get-it receivers who could do the jump-ball thing, but we don't have anyone like that any more and it's painfully obvious now he can't overcome that.

Should Dekkers start? No

Should Manning start? No

 

[CYCLNST8]

Purdy’s a competitor. He’ll be back. Dekkers looks promising, but- c’mon. It was garbage time.

 

[cyatheart]

I don't just jump to the backup because the starter is struggling, but Purdy was a stud when he was free-balling his first 2 years. Manning has turned him into a weak overly scripted player. The best thing he could do is sit a game or two and get back to having fun. You can tell he's struggling to make the reads, he's not seeing the linemen right in front of him, and he has lost touch with his receivers.

Dekkers will develop into a good player IF Manning leaves. He has a nice touch and doesn't tend to overthrow his receivers, which are the passes that get Purdy into trouble as they are much more likely to be tipped or intercepted.

yes. Brock has been turned into a game manager. Hes been totally destroyed by Manning.

Give Dekkers a chance in first half against unlv

 

[harimad]

FTR, I’ve been for this for a long time.

Agreed. I've thought Purdy was holding us back for awhile now. When he was Pump Fake Purdy, he was great. But either he decided that wasn't his real game, or the coaches won't let him do it. Either way, he's not nearly as effective and now we have to turn the page. Makes me sad, but you have to do what's best for the team.

I think its a good idea. Unlv is a low risk game plus make purdy fight for is job

If the coaches aren’t letting him be his own player, they can **** right off.

 

[Gunnerclone]

I wouldn’t be mad about it.

 

[SCNCY]

I said this two years ago, but Brock doesn’t have the same enthusiasm and energy he did his freshmen year. He gets that back, he would be great. I think Brock should start, but put him on a short leash.

 

[CYCLNST8]

Good lord. And I thought I over-reacted. This is on Manning. And a little bit of bad run blocking. Brock has actually evolved a bit and knows when to throw it away.

He’s won a lot of games for us, folks. Don’t forget that.

Purdy has never thrown a pretty ball or tight spiral and that hurts on the long passes. Dekkers throws a tight forceful ball and was decisive. Purdy probably deserves it, but I wouldn't be upset if we saw more Dekkers.

 

[Goothrey]

Offense can’t be any worse to watch than it is now.

 

[clonehoodie]

You don't bench a first round draft pick.
Brock will be fine. C'mon, man ! It's the Big 12.

(Is Dekkers ok ? That was a VICIOUS hit that VanValkenberg laid on him.)

 

[tman24]

Pump the brakes fellas it was a bad game...if he plays like this again next week I'll join the bandwagon

So we just ignoring how crappy the uni game was just because we won?

 

[atlantacyclone]

Purdy, Hall, Huchinson got us here and cost us this game. We should stick with them…. They have to be mind f84&ed by now….

 

[vortex]

Purdy is Purdy, good and bad.

 

[jctisu]

The only certain thing for me between the two when it comes to Dekkers being better than Purdy at something (and this has been true even last year), is Dekkers throws a better ball period. That’s not up for debate BUT there is a lot more to quarterbacking than that.

 

[deadeyededric]

Hell yes. He can make throws Purdy cant.
