Purdy can't do that because he's too short to see the middle of the field. This is especially terrible when the opposition blitzes him. How often have you seen him simply step up into the pocket and end up getting sacked, hit or throwing an incompletion ? His only other recourse is to scramble to his right and try to throw on the run, but those are lower % plays than we like to believe.

Huh? Purdy does pretty well with hitting the middle of the field.

Shanny almost certainly told him to stay in the pocket even if Chris Jones is about to murder him. His biggest weakness is that he always passes to the first "open" receiver he sees when he scrambles out, which is how the Ravens picked him off so much running fire zone.

Not when he's being blitzed. He does well when Aiyuk is open in the 2nd level of the defense in the middle because he can't see him until then.

That's also why so many of his passes get batted at the line. Too fucking short.
 
The fact that irl Sneed is a good, Christian family man is hilarious, especially given that he's black and statistically had to fight against the current of niggerdry/crab bucket mentality. May the Lord keep and bless Sneed.

Bill Parcells had a rule that he refused to draft QBs who were under 6'3". Extreme as it may sound, I believe that you can understand the logic.

Mahomes is 6'2" and destroys the cover 0 blitz.

Josh Allen is 6'5"; Gay, Karlaftis, and Jones each batted down one of his throws in the playoffs.

In a blitz situation, your slot receiver or tight end in particular should be breaking off their routes, hitting the middle of the field and being ready for the ball to come out almost immediately. Purdy can't make those throws because of his aforementioned stature issues.

Purdy couldn't make those throws because they weren't there. Show me somebody open. Let alone the middle of the field being open

Purdy was lucky to get the check down to CMC before Jones steamrolled him.

Purdy stayed in position, watching downfield, waiting for an opportunity to make a pass. There were a number of times I expected him to start scrambling away to avoid getting tackled, but no, he stayed there while a defensive lineman is maybe a foot from grinding him into the dirt, and then fires the ball off to make a pass. To me, that shows he trusts his offensive linemen. Even when the defensive line is about to smash him into the dirt, he trusts that his offensive line will hold the defense that one extra moment needed to make a pass, and doesn't start running away until he actually has to

Purdy stayed in the pocket, but he did a lot of floating around and throwing off fucked up footwork. He also repeatedly drifted right into the back of his own linemen. If he throws this at the bottom of his drop back, it's a first down to Aiyuk.

I didn’t say that Parcells’ rule was a hard and fast one. It’s a general principle to give credence to height.

There’s an ocean of a difference between 6’2” and 6’0”.

Part of what also helps Mahomes is that his arm strength lets him make deep throws against the blitz and hit guys that other QBs simply can’t.

My comment was mostly related to the middle of the field being a place where you can get completions against the blitz if you and your receivers are on the same page and you can get the ball out quickly.

I’m quite certain that Allen has much fewer batted passes than Purdy.

Purdy has proved that he’s in that “upper middle tier” of QBs like Prescott and Cousins. From Week 17 onward, you cannot in good conscience say that he’s been playing well.

I believe that’s a very important data point in that perhaps he simply fades late into the season ala Russell Wilson. Time will tell, but his height, along with that data point while not having an elite arm aren’t portents of a good future.

I want White QB’s to dominate but I’m not going to let that cloud my judgement regarding mediocrity.

Somehow the extremely online right managed to meme themselves into hating the Swift-Kelce thing. With all the impotence of an angry child.

Incorrect. The "hate" comes from the incessant and irrelevant Swift/Kelce coverage that dominates over everything else. You have literal highlight-reel tier plays on the field, only to quickly cut away just to see "Tay-Tay's" inane reaction. The NFL has a camera dedicated to focusing on her the entire time that she is at a game, and they will announce her arrival and show it on the screen as if she's the president. The fact that you and others paint this as a "right-wing" political situation is completely fucking retarded.

Tangentially related, but apparently the networks redid the calculations for how they count tv viewership this year, and apparently this year's superbowl was the most watched TV event in the history of EVER! Like totally for realz! Oddly reminiscent of a certain election situation a few years ago... 🤔 (preemptive :politisperg:)

Yeah, I thought that was odd, as, to the best of my knowledge, NFL ratings (and specifically the Super Bowl) have been dropping every year over the last several.

So now they just invent new numbers? Lol, faggots.

Or maybe all the "Swifties" (faggots) just tuned in to see her? pathetic.
 
Kansas City Chiefs were BossmanJack's pick. 49ers didn't stand a chance once he focused his energies as an Aries and manifested the result.

I'm not invested in this stuff but I do feel for you guys. Front page tourists going LE SPORTSBALL XD XD wouldn't like it if their hobby got fucked with this hard to make a few bucks.

I had to dig through AT LEAST a half a dozen faggot articles for this, most of which were, of course, placing the record numbers on The Relationship™️, but buried deep in an article per ESPN:

Some of the increase can be attributed to a change in the way viewers are counted. Nielsen began including out-of-home viewers in its ratings in 2020, but only from limited markets. That measurement expanded to all 50 states beginning this year.

So what are out-of-home viewers? Basically any TV that has the game on in a public place. Think a sports bar, airport, waiting room, etc. They are now counting those as "viewers" for the official statistics. Whether there are further calculations involved to figure out an arbitrary number of viewers per TV, I haven't a clue. But it is an easily manipulatable statistic, to show whatever you want. Like this quote here per Sports Media Watch:

There are other factors that are important to consider when looking at viewership numbers and ratings. As noted by Sports Media Watch, Nielsen used to measure out-of-home viewing as a separate category. Because of that, technically the Patriots-Falcons Super Bowl in 2017 had the most views with 123.94 million, topping the Chiefs-Eagles from last year. Before then, out-of-home tracking was not considered a metric at all.

For what it's worth, I think that while it's completely obvious as to why people think that Moody's blocked extra point cost the Niners the game, I just feel it in my bones that Kansas City would've found a way to score a touchdown while down by (what would have been) 4 points near the end of the fourth. It might even have needed the aid of a very suspect defensive pass interference call or a defensive holding call on a play that wouldn't have been called in the first quarter, but something would've happened.

SF Special Teams was ass all game. It wasn't the blocked extra point that fucked them, it was their terrible punt return team that put 0 pressure on the punter, up to and including a muffed punt that gifted KC a touchdown.
