How'd Purdy get the starting gig? Let the kid play and quit wanting to reach into the trash heap.
The problem is he is not good in the pocket- never has been, all the way back to Duke and through ND. He is in some ways very similar to AR. Get him in space and let him create, he can be good, he can create explosive plays. Make him sit back and process, he is slow to see it and his accuracy is MAYBE a slight uptick from AR. Lot's of 3rd and longs and lots of long fields.
