This is standard “next man up” talk. Even if players don’t believe it, they’ll still say it.
This is disrespectful. I don’t care if this is just wrong wording. You can easily say something like “Purdy is great but Darnold has been working hard and is ready for his shot”
Making any direct comparisons between 2 QBs on the same roster is just going to cause controversy.
Purdy already gets disrespected by most of the people outside the organisation. This looks bad. It makes it look like you don’t have the QB’s back.
One can only hope Brock doesn’t let this get to him, the way he never lets the outside opinions in.
Give the QB1 his respect. No one in the lockerrom ever said this about Jimmy during his SF tenure. I swear this team had raised my hopes but they just seem to lack some level of self control and self awareness.
Well, on Monday night Purdy went 21/30 for 272 yards, with 1 TD and 2 INTs. If we get that from Sam Darnold on Sunday, I think we should consider ourselves lucky.
Also seems there is no drop off from Deshawn Watson to PJ Walker…so there’s that.
