Not to mention the Eagles throwbacks from last week, the Patriots red jerseys, and the Bucs creamsicles. What the fuck were recent jersey designers thinking?
Too many teams go with the same color templates. Kelly Green, Creamsicle Orange, and “Love Ya Blue” are unique colors as a primary color that have been traded out for dark green, red, and navy blue.

Miami’s best uniforms are definitely their throwbacks, but at least they’ve always kept their unique color scheme.

I honestly think Purdy may be better than Mac. But I am probably just still pissed from watching Mac play. Purdy definitely seems to be better in the pocket and at running.
I mean, Purdy is WAY better than Mac. He can move and he has a strong arm.

Mac has a lolli arm and he's as fast as Brady was. . . .last year.

I mean he is obviously playing better. I am saying more with tools (physical and mental). Like I am starting to actually think that Purdy would be better even if they had the exact same weapons. I mean I don't think Mac can throw that pass from his on end zone to his 40 yard line up the middle.

I'm wondering what the sports media industry would make of a straight-up trade of Purdy for Mac. Don't overthink this.

Purdy is objectively better than Mac at football in pretty much every way. Better arm, better pocket presence, faster, more decisive. He’s better and it’s not particularly close.

Let's see the QBs they've beaten

Stroud - first career game
Hobbled Burrows
Some third string bum on Cleveland
Malik Willis
Jared Goff
Josh Dobbs
Their game against Detroit was a dismantling. You can't put Goff on the same list as those other guys, it was a destruction and Goff is solid.

But, otherwise, you are right. They are playing bad QBs. The Browns QB was playing in his first career game, too. Willis is AWFUL, too.

Taylor got hurt and the Giants were forced to insert some character from a Bon Jovi song at QB. It did not go well. Apparently living on a prayer is not a winning strategy.
They had a three point lead and were sitting on the Jets what, 25 yard line? with less than a minute to play. He was horrible, but the loss is more appropriately attributed to Giants, duh.

Really shows the shortcomings of the NFL draft eval process, teams and draftniks included. But in 7-8 months we will all be back killing teams because they broke from Mel Kiper’s big board.

I don't agree with them. I am just saying that some people seem higher on Mac than Purdy. Not sure how, but your answer probably explains it.
There is no world where you can rank Mac ahead of Purdy. Purdy is faster, more accurate, and throws a stronger ball.

That was meant to be an exhaustive list but yes Goff was the one good and healthy QB they beat. Amazing how an AFC team can avoid facing real QBS - they lost to Richardson and Pickett. They've managed to avoid all the top QBs - other than a gimpy Burrows.

KC literally just handed a first down on a play that didn't have a penalty.

But they called a penalty obviously after a sack on 3rd down.

People say KC doesn't get favored?

LOL Niners getting some bullshit in their favor now. Ball was short, and they didn't even measure.
