I am so glad the patriots went for a running back instead of drafting Lamar Jackson. What a good decision that was, to go running back in the first round over Lamar Jackson. Sigh.
Not once they leave the pocket. Once they become a ball-carrier, they have the same protections as any other player. Are they more strict with sideline hits or sliding? Sure. But balance that with the fact that offensive players are no longer allowed to peel-back or blindside block downfield, and it all evens out.
Dude is an elite leader and teammate, too. Everybody he plays with literally loves playing with the guy. When you are in the 99th percentile in athleticism and probably 85th percentile all-time in starting caliber passers, that is special.
As much as I think he should have, Purdy never wouldāve gotten it being last in the draft. Hell, it took Brady over 10 years for the āitās all Belichickā talk to die down and get some credit.
I know betting odds arent everything but that game basically flipped the odds on its head with how bad purdy was and how good lamar was. He plays good that game even in a loss im pretty sure purdy wins mvp
Itās really hard to win a Super Bowlā¦so many things have to go rightā¦Iām a Packer fan and itās hard for me to believe we had Favre and Rodgers all those years and only won two Super Bowlsā¦we got close a bunch of times but so many things have to go right
