He's absolutely right, though.
>got drafted by a competent franchise whose team was already playoff caliber instead of a dumpster fire like the Browns or the Jaguars
>got to sit for a year and learn from a veteran qb who knew he was being replaced but handled it like a pro and acted like a mentor instead of being a dick
>when he took over the starting job he had the best pass catching tight end in football, arguably the best receiver and the best offensive coach
>Division is the Chargers (a cursed team that had recently relocated and had no idea what the fuck they were doing) the Raiders (a cursed team that eventually relocated and had no idea what the fuck they were doing) and the Broncos (a semi-respectable franchise that was enduring one of its worst stretches in decades)

So right off the bat he had a good team, good GM, good weapons, a good coach, he wasn't forced to play until he was ready and his main competition were a bunch of shitters. How could that situation possibly be any better?

Yeah if you actually watch the games like 1 out of every 3 or 4 completions by Purdy is a play where he bought time for himself after someone got through the o-line. He's not crazy fast in the open field but he changes direction and stops and starts quickly so he's way more evasive than he looks. I've seen that dude juke unblocked defenders, the fucking scheme isn't helping him do that

This. IV looks good, sounds good, and doesn't ramp up the difficulty until later in the game so you can get used to the classicvania style without beating your head against the wall.

Some people would call it too easy, I think it's more that I and III are excessively hard and IV is reasonable. But either way it's the easiest of the three so why start with the more brutal ones.

Yup, this anon nailed it. A lot of games were taking advantage of the CD-based technology to incorporate live footage but it was an awkward pastiche where you would just have a normal game with random FMV bits slapped on top of it or game that was nothing *but* non-interactive cutscenes.

Resident evil started off with some low-res movie footage too, but then when it transitioned into the game itself it didn't feel like an abrubt transition. The camera angles, incredibly detailed backgrounds and voice acting made it feel like a continuation of the scene you'd just watched. And they didn't go back to any more fmv footage. The story was told in-game with the character models you played with.

MGS hit people the same way for the same reason. Final fantasy VII was impressive as shit but it still had that dichotomy between the playable portion of the game and the pre-rendered cutscenes which were clearly operating on two separate levels. Whereas MGS and Resident evil had a consistency to them where even when there were cutscenes they took place in the same in-game world you played in. It was all one coherent presentation and that was way more immersive
