Why is it still a bad thing to call a QB a “game manager “??

Because game manager implies limited ability, especially when it comes to general playmaking.

That’s the problem then.. Ppl need to change their mindset then..  Game Managers win and have a lot of success as well and it’s okay to be a game manager.. It’s okay not to be able to win in every situation..

Which is generally accurate of the QBs it's applied to. You don't necessarily have to have a dynamic game breaking QB if you have a brilliant offensive system with elite surrounding talent. The issue you run into is when you start having to pay everybody and making tough salary cap decisions.

If he was on a different team does he change the game is the question then??

It’s a fair question.

I have a long history on this board saying we don’t need a game changer at the QB position to compete. 
 

It’s an interesting conversation because while Purdy might not do anything Uber athletic or ultra flashy, I believe those that do (eg. Cam, or more relevant, Josh Allen) tend to have more instances of subpar outcomes as they are always looking to make a splash play or play the part of the hero. Sometimes at the cost of the game. Guys like Purdy might not backflip into the end zone after a long run but rarely do they fumble the ball or throw an INT in crucial moments either. 
 

So for me I could see how people could take his comments either way.

That’s Cams point imo.. It not a bad thing making the right play at the right time more times then not and being reliable more often then not.. But reality is Purdy, Dak nor Tua is asked to carry a offense and elevate the talent around them as much as Mahomes , Jackson and Rodger’s is..

I can personally see it either way. I could see how someone could read his comments and infer that he’s saying Purdy is JAG. If I were called a game manager and demonstrating consistent success despite the products around me, I really wouldn’t care about anyone’s opinion either way though.

    • Darrell Jackson would be a fantastic pickup for us, I think he could replace 80% of what A’Shawn gave us last year. With more passing rush upside going forward in the future, I’m a big proponent of large framed defensive tackles. Pairing Derrick Brown with another 6’5 35inch arm length DT would be so fun to watch. Let’s continue being huge in the middle, allow our linebackers to flow to the ball uninterrupted.
    • Fully agree that the best thing to do is ignore them, which takes a away their thrill of thinking they got to you.
    • I agree with you on the pick of Thienemen in the first. I think he will still be there and he's a smart, fast and sturdy player. He's who we need back there. In the second, I like Rodriguez over Golday. I agree that off the ball linebackers are desperately needed here, even with our great FA pick up. I think with our third pick, we're going to dip into OT territory instead of the D-line. While I agree that we need another disruptor at the point of attack that is stout enough to just stonewall a center and a guard at the same time, we've got a shaky and expensive O-line at the present that is just about to age out of the game. I think we snag Blake Miller out of Clemson here and give him a year behind Moton to learn and put some weight and strength on. He can also jump right in and play right guard at any time. Also, and this might sound crazy, but anyone who has put up with multiple seasons at Clemson will be able to take the heat and humidity of training camp at the start of the season and early games against the NFCSouth.  Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. We do need that QB for competition and realistically to study for back-up. Luke Altmyer out of Illinois seems to fit the mold of the point guard type QB that they want from Bryce. That'd make an apples to apples situation that could make coaching and game planning easy. On the other hand North Dakota State's Cole Payton could be an intriguing choice as well as a big dual threat guy. Both could be there for our fourth pick or both could be gone. Will QBs continue to slide this season like last? Who knows?
