He does come off prickish but tbh I'm not sure what else he's supposed to say. If he endorses the game plan he's admitting he's an idiot.

He also is realizing his dream of the NFL is probably gone playing with that offense.
He traded his future football career for some NIL money. No other reason to want to go play for Iowa.
If he's good enough for the NFL he'll get a look and chance regardless of how his time at Iowa goes.
There's been plenty of dominant college QBs and players that have had all sorts of stats that didn't do much in the league and vice versa.
Otherwise in that clip....is he in line to play for Fran? That seemed right up Hok fan player alley. He just needed to give the tough guy glare into the camera like ConAir.

If hes good but just needs to develop, that isn't happening at Iowa.
No but we're seeing that development can take place after college with someone like Purdy so I'm not putting weight on the college career.
Deebo Samuel is just one example of someone who didn't light the world on fire at South Carolina but has turned into a very good NFL player.
Wow, I can see what an inspirational team leader this guy is.
What exactly have you seen Purdy do in the NFL that he didn't do in college? He clearly has a better team around him, specifically OL and WR. Outside of that I've seen next to nothing different. He's made fewer mistakes, but that's 100% because he doesn't have to press like he did at ISU.
He worked on his deep throws and more snap,but that has been about it. Purdy had great game knowledge and leadership. Stuff like Cade is saying is not leadership quality
That's a really bad look coming from somebody that should be one of the core leaders on the team. Given the wasteland that is the B1G West, I still expect them to win 9-10 games this year so I'm sure that will keep people somewhat complacent. But they're not going to be pretty games.
It would be total carnage for sure. If the OL doesn't learn how to block between now and Saturday, then it might come to fruition.
He got coaching out of college on his throwing motion that apparently has helped.
To me it looks like he has more freedom to shift around a bit to make the throw and in college it seemed like he was held in the pocket.
The irony is it seemed like the ISU staff was trying to work him to be in the pocket like an NFL QB and his success is partly due to the opposite approach.
Regardless he's someone who had great stats in college but got drafted last so again, can't put a ton of weight on the college career to carry over.
I apologize if I'm derailing the thread, but the quote was "development can take place after college with someone like Purdy" in comparison to Cade. I guess I'm rejecting it out of hand.
Purdy is Purdy and that didn't change from college to pro. Some minor tweaks here and there, but it's not like he was drafted as a project (not developed in college) that has now become this pro machine. Purdy was drafted last because of his measurables - height, arm strength, etc. They're just not what NFL would like. On the plus side, he was drafted (at all) because he had experience, accuracy, good decision making and just has that gamer/it factor.
Cade would be drafted (if he's drafted at all) because he has measurables and good decision making. Iowa can't really take that away from him. They're not doing him any favors at all though.
I guess I'm saying that if you're making the argument that Purdy is a good example of development post-college, that's a really bad example. Honestly, it's a take that I'd expect for some national talking-head that never watched Purdy in college.
I'm trying to think of a college QB that was a project that turned out well and I'm coming up empty - probably because I don't follow the NFL all that much. I'd guess that other positions have more success at project players.
Pulled up passer efficiency, and guess who is 116 of 124? Somehow 6 teams don’t even have a QB listed. Must be the service academies who run option.
Purdy does own just about every ISU QB record, so he did pretty good in college. Brock is in the perfect situation.... does not have to put the team on his back, great players surrounding him, and a great coach. He still has a lot to learn, but he is definitely is the right place to grow as a QB without all the pressure.
I think you are wrong about Purdy's development after Iowa State.
It is not a knock on Iowa State when saying Purdy received additional coaching after Iowa State -- which is a fact -- and he was receptive to it and learned from it.
