While the best defense he played in conference play was 40th in the nation.
Brock Purdy is the most clutch player in the state of Iowa's history
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
IDK. I'd still take Banks, Long, or Seneca ahead of Purdy. Let's see what he does this year and maybe I'll move him up.
Purdy put up way better numbers than those 3 all while playing a harder schedule and having an OL that sucks
Warner vs Purdy is a good debate but the best QB to ever play at Iowa or Iowa State is Purdy by a pretty big margin
C'mon. Purdy was ranked 20th rated QB in the country last season. Banks led the country in passer rating, was a Heisman finalist, and won the Davey O'brien award.
Yeah. I'm sure he was behind Tua, Burrow, Hurts and a few others but no way he was 20th in the P5 lol
Purdy's career passer rating with an OL that sucks: 157
Banks career passer rating with the best OL in school history: 155
Check mate
a few others? Morgan, Huntley, Slovis, Lawrence, Howell, Gordon, Ehlinger......... there's more.
Not 19 others though that's for sure lol
Honest question: does Brad Banks play as a junior if he was white?
Banks first full years as a starter:
Big ten championship, 11 wins, Davey O’Brien Award, Big Ten offensive player of the year, Big Ten player of the year, AP college football player of the year, Second team all American, Chicago Tribune Silver football award, finalist for the Maxwell, Heisman runner up, and finalist for the Walter camp. Purdy has stats but Banks had wins. Wins>Stats
This is based on the statement regarding the best QB ever produced by the state of Iowa. But yes it would be based on pro accomplishments however I think Warner was pretty damned impressive his 1 season as a starter IIRC.
