My Man Brock Purdy...

With two touchdown passes and the win, Purdy became the first quarterback in NFL history to win each of his first six career regular-season starts while throwing at least two touchdown passes. He also became the first quarterback in NFL history with a passer rating of 95 or higher in each of his first six career regular-season starts.

"Purdy's a little too close to 'Turdy.'"

And, losing Deebo and CMC is the equivalent of Miami losing Hill, Mostert and Achane.

I guarantee our offense would take a step down losing top playmakers....

Cosell offered perhaps the most logical explanation yet as to why no NFL team knew what Purdy eventually would become based on his college tape.

"There's two things Purdy does at a really high level, which were hard to see in college because the college game is different from the NFL game," Cosell explained. "... Number one, he is outstanding at reading a late rotation of coverage. You don't really see a lot of late rotation of coverage in college football. ...

"Maybe Georgia, maybe an Alabama, but there's not 100 college teams that are able to do a ton of late rotation and disguise with coverage. Purdy has proven to be a master at seeing that instantaneously and knowing exactly where to go with the football."

Whether its Purdy's studious habits or simply his innate feel for the game that allow him to make in-game adjustments on the fly, Cosell doesn't believe it was an ability regularly on display for NFL scouts during his time at Iowa State. Another, Cosell continued, is Purdy's anticipation.

"And the other thing you don't see a ton of in college, just because it's not necessarily required, is the ability to throw with really high-level anticipation, throwing the ball before receivers make breaks," Cosell said. "You don't see a ton of that in college because you don't need a ton of that in college because the game is different with the hashmarks, the field is wider.

"You don't need that high level of anticipation. Those are two things that Purdy did at a high level that didn't show up on college tape."
