Should There Be Concerns on Purdy's Performance in Super Bowl?
Transcript
00:00 We'll start to break down exactly what their props look like and you can see the spotlight
00:07 right there on the screen on the season 4,280 yards to 4,183 yards, 33 to 27 touchdowns,
00:16 14 to 11 interceptions, excuse me, 11 to 14 interceptions as they were going left to right
00:21 and then completion percentage 69.4% to 67.2% and Carver, the bigger stats went with the
00:32 bigger offense and that was Brock Purdy in this instance.
00:35 Yes, it rattles your cage a little bit to see that Mahomes didn't have the superior
00:39 statistical season but it's playoff time and what we saw from Purdy in Green Bay was concerning,
00:47 gloves on, gloves off in the rain and then after that we had him up against Detroit in
00:54 a game in which they were trailing but utilizing his legs, utilizing his ability to hit open
01:00 receivers, they came from behind, just stormed back.
01:03 Joe, that all happened within one segment where we're watching it during the game but
01:06 Carver, your confidence level of Purdy being able to handle everything in this game?
01:15 Not extremely high.
01:17 I'm obviously like you said, you could tell by who we're going with here, what we're on
01:21 and I think the Niners are obviously going to win this game but I don't think it's going
01:24 to be because of him and that's weird because he's the quarterback, he's supposed to be
01:27 the guy that runs the whole deal and the one thing that worries me about my selection is
01:31 him.
01:32 He's the thing that I think can kind of unravel because of what I saw in the Green Bay game
01:38 and what I saw in the Baltimore game.
01:40 Those are two games in the last month and a half that I look at and I go, "That could
01:45 happen today.
01:47 That could easily happen today and it's going to drive me nuts."
01:50 I don't have a lot of confidence.
01:51 Those numbers, you did like the blind resume, you know, you just put them up but you didn't
01:55 put the faces.
01:56 You would have thought that was Mahomes on the left and Purdy on the right but I am nervous,
02:01 Mike, about Purdy today.
02:02 I could see him being nervous in this spot.
02:05 I'm worried.
02:06 - Joe, he's passed the test to this point and I'm not one of the, I think there's, I
02:13 even hate using that phrase, Mr. Irrelevant.
02:16 I find it kind of oddly disrespectful to somebody that had a great college career and has found
02:21 himself and played his way into MVP contention but he hasn't played his sharpest game in
02:29 the playoffs and he's going up against now the defensive coordinator that more so than
02:35 anybody in the entire freaking league schemes it well against people, particularly in the
02:40 second half of games.
02:41 And Brock is going to, if they even have to add the lead, Brock is going to have to try
02:45 to close out this game in the same way that the Niners couldn't do four years ago.
02:50 I re-watched that game twice in these last couple of weeks.
02:53 Jimmy G was 18 of 21 with under eight minutes to go.
02:57 He closed two of 10 with an interception.
