Your own stats show he peaked in his sophomore year with his best rating being in his freshman year. But keep being drunk on the Kool-Aid. Must help you from avoiding the reality of the situation.

I’m not going to read this entire thread but he also has one of the greatest offensive minds alive as his coach which helps. Quite a step up from the Manning/Campbell offense.
With that being said, I think both sides can be true. I felt like Purdy got worse as his time went on, but he’s also the best QB in Cyclone history by far. I will go to my grave believing that taking away the QB run significantly hindered the offense and hurt Purdy’s career. Not to mention the gross mismanagement of offensive talent in 2021

I see a lot of referencing "historical Iowa State".
I kind it so odd that people think history matters. Like it matters at all that Iowa State sucked for 100 years. Or it went 0-fer in 1994. Or that Rhoads won 3 games 10 years ago. Literally NONE of the players or coaches care, at all. None of the opponents we played during Brock's career - knew or cared, at all. It has literally 0 significance. Sure, it matters in fans and media perception. It matters in realignment when pundits try to keep us out of this fake future 'super conference'. It does not matter on the field.
What matters is the team on the field in that moment. Iowa State, during Brock's career, put really solid squads out on the field, year after year, game after game. Purdy was (and is) the best QB to ever play at Iowa State (which is hard for me to say, Seneca is my hero). Iowa State did some really good things, won a lot of conference games. It also lost a ton of close games. It also "underachieved" in 2021. It really did. For me personally, that is on the staff, not Brock Purdy; he and Monty and Breece and Allen and Butler and X, etc - they were able to make a bad scheme work a lot of the time.
I personally believe Brock did regress, in college. Or maybe to put it a bit more fairly - was not developed to his max by this coaching staff. This is mentioned quite a bit even now from analytics experts, analysts, scouts, NFL personnel, i.e. here. His footwork got sloppy as he further progressed into his college. His motion was inconsistent and he was throwing off his back foot a lot. Mainly due to very poor O-Line play, poor schemes, and lots of tape/scouting on him.
He progressed more in 2 months with a new throwing coach (after college) than he did in 4 years at Iowa State. I believe there's an Athletic article from last year that speaks to this. Purdy himself has commented numerous times how 'different' he feels throwing the ball now vs. his college years.

He lost one conference game at home at ISU in his entire career (OSU in 2019). That's ridiculous consistency.
It's understandable to be content with the results or displeased with leaving something on the table in 2021. But, one has to realize that Breece and Purdy still covered up a main issue, that was a poor OL. They just couldn't get past that. Now, we are finding out that with lower quality talent at the skill positions, the flaws are that much more apparent. Clanton has some work cut out for him. The results likely take awhile to show up in that group, but I have heard from many that he is the real deal.
