The worst thing about all of this is that the coaches still aren't using the appropriate language regarding Purdy and Smothers. Smothers has been disrespected since the Iowa game last year and while Casey Thompson is clearly the right guy when he's healthy, it breaks down quickly after that.
The Purdy performance against MN was allowed to happen after a similarly dreadful 3-of-8 passing for 15 yards and an interception game against Illinois and plenty of information leading up to the Int.
Seriously, is there anyone on this forum who didn't expect Purdy to keep failing spectacularly up to that interception against MN? Their defense kept dropping his wobbly lobs thrown into questionable zones, who thought they wouldn't finally come up with one?
