Greg Cosell on Cowherd suggests Michael Pratt is like Purdy

Darwinian : 4/25/2024 3:03 pm
Tulane QB Michael Pratt

A QB to keep in mind for later in the draft, plays and sees the game like Purdy. Understands the game. Subtle sense of timing and anticipation. Sees things clearly. Understands safety rotation, one of Purdy's big strengths.

A QB to consider if we whiff on the position early on
Screw it! Take him at #6!

But seriously, if the Giants do not land a QB in the first, this is the kind of gamble they should take in the 4th.
Im ok with this as a last resort

but having that skillset rarely turns into a Purdy. It basically all has to click for that to happen and you almost never see that. Usually you need some plus physical attributes to even stand a chance.
I heard that...

But the more interesting comment was that he has a day two grade on McCarthy.

Doesn't see anything special at all. Comped him to Dalton.
Pratt may have the decision-making prowess

of Purdy, but I don’t think he has the accuracy. I like Pratt, actually watched a couple of Tulane games, but he screams NFL backup to me. It is also fair to ask how well Purdy would do in an offense not designed by Shanahan.

He's he's not been bullish on JJM for a while. Nobody I listen to is big on JJM incl Waldman. Though the Franchise Guy said he rewatched his film and now sees a little... still behind Maye and Penix though.
Pratt Better Mechanics than Nix/Pennix?

Per the Ourlads senior bowl recap he does.

I think Sy suggested he's like Daniel Jones

be fine with him at #70.
Put Purdy on our roster  
eric2425ny : 4/25/2024 3:22 pm : link
and let’s see how he does. I’m not saying he’s a bad QB by any means, but he’s got a tremendous number of weapons compared to most QB’s along with a very good offensive line and a smart coach who knows how to mix the run and pass game:

CMC
Deebo
Aiyuk
Kittle

I'm assuming Pratt is a guy you can get in the 4th round or later

Randy Mueller has been a big advocate for JJ. Doesn't matter, in the end, because the only opinions who matter are Daboll and Schoen.

I would agree with that, but he has nowhere near the arm talent of Penix, and he’s not as accurate as Nix. If Pratt’s ceiling is a good NFL backup, he’s worth a 4th rounder, but teams expecting to find the next Brock Purdy will likely be disappointed.


As I said, I like Pratt, he’s smart and really tough. He’s a decent athlete, probably a little better than Purdy there, but he’s not Jayden Daniels.

He won't lead the league in YPA at a top 5 all time rate, but he'll do ok.

Deebo and Kittle had just a few targets in the Super Bowl...targets, not catches.

If he couldn't make it happen with no name guys they wouldn't have been close in the SB let alone made it.
