Babers said no to Purdy

Too short

Looks like most teams in college and the NFL said no to Purdy. It happens.

Yep plenty to second guess Babers on, but everyone minus Iowa State and the Niners(barely in their case) missed on him too

Bills passed on Tom Brady.

It’s not really anything. The vast majority of FBS coaches said no to him. I’m no advocate of Dino’s post 2018 performance but stuff like this is just dumb.

 

[Doc5120]

Bills passed on Tom Brady.

So did basically every team, 5 or 6 times.

I think the thing with Purdy and Cuse was, that one of our analysts was really pushing the staff to bring him in. I believe it was the older guy or his son who was also on staff (don't recall their names) - they had identified Purdy early on.

It happened with one other kid who ended up doing well elsewhere also.

You have to figure though, when you see hundreds of kids who are similar skillets in high school, inevitable that some fall through the crack.

Not like Babers turned down Colt Brennan.

Purdy isn't very good anyway. No way he would have succeeded here.

Josh Allen had zero offers before Wyoming came through after Dungey bailed after getting offered by Syracuse.

what an amazing chain of events there if it's true

“UW assistant David Brown was impressed with what he saw from Allen at Reedley and told Vigen to come take a look. The Cowboys already believed they had their quarterback of the future in tow, Eric Dungey from Oregon. Dungey’s recruitment blew up late, however, and he ended up at Syracuse. There was suddenly room to take a quarterback.”

Wyoming changed Josh Allen, and Allen forever changed Wyoming

Generally speaking, Trent Weitzel isn’t one to drop names. He’d rather his chicken wings get by on their own merits, by the spiciness of their sauces or the crispness of

The story that was posted here several years ago was that SU had at least a couple of QB's on campus at the same time, and that they offered Chance Amie and passed on Purdy.

He's no Tommy Cutlets

Oof

And this is only my opinion, but knowing what they had on the OL made them pursue a more mobile prospect.

Heck, Dungey was either a really big Amie fan, or he really hated Devito

 

[AZOrange]

So did Herm Edwards and he’s gotten blasted for it publicly for 2 years now locally

 

[AZOrange]

There was a pretty good story on ESPN a while back that talked about how he got drafted last. Shanahan insisted this guy was a gem and potential star and the 49ers staff was pissed and wanted depth at multiple positions . Shanahan knew if they didn’t draft him he was signing elsewhere. He is also rumored to have told the staff that it would likely enable them to trade Lance who they had literally just signed…crazy foresight

The Beatles got turned down by record companies. As CanadianSU wrote, it happens.

They literally hired him to evaluate kids and he had years and years of scouting but Babers said no. Why hire the guy then. Blows my mind.

It really shouldn't. Kids get missed on every day.

Yeah. I can't beat on a dead horse too much here.

Much like Dungey really receiving no interest out west outside Wyoming, Purdy really had no interest from programs in the Southwest or West Coast.

Not a single college made an offer to Polk High (chicago area) standout Albert Bundy, who scored 4 touchdowns in the city championship game. Mistakes happen
