Honestly, listing Josh Allen on there hurts the validity of what point they are trying to make. He is one of the slower processors of information. He gets really confused with late movement or post snap movement as seen in our game. Allen is a great QB but it’s not because he is this ultra cerebral player. Purdy isn’t being asked to process super quick, he is being given heavy predefined reads.
These things are tough to judge their actual value because the data is controlled in a way to paint a narrative. Unless you had every score to compare and see if there was any actual trends it does very little other than make you go “cool”.
Random note, QB evaluation may actually be the hardest evaluation to do in sports. If any of these tests could actually do it well we wouldn’t see as many misses as we do every year. The reality is there is a combination of physical ability, intellect, and then intangibles that no one has really figured out how to quantify.
