    Controversial takes draw viewers, which helps with ad revenue. Long term, nobody will care if the take comes true or not, so there’s little risk of losing credibility.

    As for Purdy, the proof is in the pudding. Nobody has been able to “expose” him yet. Until I see evidence otherwise, I’m going to stick with my perspective that he’s a darn good quarterback.

    I don’t know much but I wonder if the way Brock is so humble, keeps his head down and just works his ass off and does his job…does he lose credit in some ways because he isn’t a showboat? And because he doesn’t care about getting credit? Some of these athletes are always selling themselves and bragging and sticking up for themselves. Giving quotes to media about this thing or that. I don’t know. I can’t see Brock ever caring about being on the cover of Madden. But why does he still have to prove that these games aren’t a fluke?

    Shannon Sharpe basically said he’s just another mediocre white boy quarterback with a good team around him. At this point I also wonder if anyone criticizing is just trying to get clicks and views. I love this kid, man…I don’t even care whether he wins or loses. Shut the fuck up.

    Purdy would be great, but a great QB doesn’t do a great job unless they have a great team. A QB who isn’t doing a great job isn’t viewed as a great QB.
