I wouldn't be a fan of getting this guy.  He's just too chubba.  I don't think it would look purdy behind our current OL.  Pass.

Purdy is also listed at 6'2" and 215 lbs.  That would be 20 pounds heavier than Smothers, and hopefully would make him more durable from a week to week basis.   I know he broke his collarbone, but I consider broken bones more "freak injuries" which can happen to any QB, regardless of size.

Running the QB is a terrible idea in the Big Ten.  Need backs to do that. 

So much for the experienced QB and taking 2 huh?

I don’t think so. If we just wanted Purdy right now, I think he would be N. The visit on 1/14 is pretty telling

Clearly I am missing what is telling, can you enlighten me please?

I think the staff strategically scheduled him to visit 1/14 before the classes start on the 1/18 to allow recruitment of a veteran. Purdy is all but N and likely would commit if his offer was committable right now, in my opinion.

I definitely want our QB running a lot less, and the I-backs to get more carries and be more effective. I just want the QB to be able to run on occasion.

Agreed. Being able to escape pressure and scramble is good. QB being the leading ball carrier is not a good idea, that's what I was going for.

Nebraska is the only visit he has scheduled, and classes begin in a couple weeks, so yeah. He's got four years of eligibility, though, so I could see us also taking someone with just a year or two.

never mind… I read that wrong…

Oh, if only we had I-backs again ?  Lol

Sounds like Thompson is in Lincoln on an unofficial visit?

Per who?

Sharp and Benning confirmed Casey Thompson is on campus today for an unofficial.

 

[BigRedBuster]

This says that Nebraska is Purdy's number one choice.
