    He’s not ranked poorly, he’s just in the “unproven” group.

    That’s a correct ranking for a player that only has 8 games under his belt. You’ve gotta see it for a longer period of time before you can slot him accurately.

    NFL history is full of guys that could do it for one magic season. Purdy has to prove that he’s not one of them first.

        Yeah, the original Athletic article was very clear on what it meant. All the sites that jumped on the article to use as fodder for their own reaction articles were, as you put it, more clickbaity.

    People are crapping on him because he is throwing interceptions in practice. Let’s wait and see how he does in games, he seem to do alright last year.
