SirAndrew Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 2 hours ago, Mark Vader said: He's not the reason they went to the Super Bowl. The 49'ers running game could not be stopped. Garoppolo was their for the ride. I’m surprised how highly some people think of Garoppolo. It’s almost as if people know the 49ers reached a Super Bowl and NFCCG, but didn’t watch him play. His QB production would have been decent in the 90’s, but the standard for QB play is far greater these days. He’s a below average starter, who was carried by a great team. Trading for Jimmy G is the type of mistake that bad teams make. He’s going to look awful on a below average team, yet some desperate franchise is going to trade assets away for poor QB play. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be that the preseason games were used to determine the starting qb. Maybe Lance's athleticism forced the offensive coordinator to run an entirely different offense that requires more reps and that Jimmy doesn't have the skillset to run. Looks like Jimmy G will be moved soon. Yes. Jimmy G would have likely won the battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the 49ers gave up a boatload to get him. That's why they never had that battle in the first place this year, it would have been over quickly like last year.

BigDingus Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 6 hours ago, NewEra said: Thanks to a system and a monster defense. Jimmy didn’t play well. He played well enough to get carried by a great game plan and an elite DL. Yeah, he can be solid, but his best seasons aren't close to comparable with actual top tier QB's. People like to say Kirk Cousins is just "above average" or pretty good, yet they give Jimmy G the benefit of the doubt more often than not because players like being around him. Sometimes he'll even gets that "he just wins" label, even though it's primarily the defense & run game like you said. Couple of Jimmy G's good seasons: 2019 - 3,978 yards / 27 TD's - 13 INT's / 69.1% / 102.0 passer rating (16 games) 2021 - 3,810 yards / 20 TD's - 12 INT's / 68.3% / 98.7 passer rating (15 games) W/L record: 22-9 Couple of Kirk Cousins good seasons: 2020 - 4,265 yards / 35 TD's - 13 INT's / 67.6% / 105.0 passer rating (16 games) 2021 - 4,221 yards / 33 TD's - 7 INT's / 66.3% / 103.1 passer rating (16 games) W/L record: 15-16 I think they're both just solid, but Cousins is has a higher ceiling & slings it deep better. 49ers are just a more complete team all around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's a line of demarcation between QBs you can win a Super Bowl with and QBs you can't, Garrappolo has his toes firmly planted against the wrong side of that line. IMO that is actually the worst kind of QB you can have. I'd rather let Peterman start 17 games and get a good draft pick out of it.

They ran the ball 500 times with three guys including the great Matt Brieda. The had one receiver (a TE) who (barely) cracked 1000 yards. Shannon is a top Offensive mind, this is true. Rodgers, the regular season MVP last 2 years, has led a GB that has won 2 of it's last 5 playoff games, twice bounced out by the SF Garappolos (scoring 30 points over 2 games).

Mikie2times Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I think the way Kyle see's it is he's now got a mobile QB in what is probably the most QB friendly system in the NFL. That said, I think this is a difficult spot. While I agree Jimmy G didn't win many games for the 49ers, he wasn't a guy that was losing many games for them either. Lance could certainly cost them games. We will see how it plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took Josh a couple of years...yes, he was always on the upbubble, it just took those years to make him more complete. (of course, Josh worked his butt off also) The goal is to build on a players rookie deal though. They're going to have to pay Deebo and that new money likely hits in 2023 and 2024 - not having to pay your QB makes that affordable. Having Shanahan coach, plus kittle deebo, and one of the best lines in football should help ease the transition. They aren't benching... i dunno rodgers. It's comparable to the bears moving on from Trubisky. Jimmy G has done more than Mitch did - but the big thing going for Jimmy G is his "winning". Trubisky "won" games too. At some point you take the W/L out of it and look at the underlying numbers, and for Jimmy G - they aren't very good. 0 starters with an average depth of target beyond 10 yards. More YAC than YBC. Still had 12 picks even though he was dumping the ball almost the entire time. 8 hours ago, Jauronimo said: I still say if Dimarco was worth anything as a player he makes that catch.

In his four postseason victories he has 8, 19, 19 and 25 attempts. Check out Jimmy G's career postseason attempts compared to Allen's: Jimmy G- 19, 8, 31, 25, 19, 30 =132/6 =22 attempts per game Allen- 46, 35, 37, 48, 25, 37= 228/6 = 38 attempts per game On 7/26/2022 at 3:38 PM, That's No Moon said: Then why were they 6-10 the year in between the Super Bowl and Conference Championship when he missed 10 games?

At some point you take the W/L out of it and look at the underlying numbers, and for Jimmy G - they aren't very good. I think the perfect comp is the Chiefs trading Alex Smith, the proven veteran QB that got them to the playoffs every year, for the 2nd year unkown QB in Mahomes with huge upside. It's really a nearly perfect comp. Even the head coaches are both offensive minded and highly regarded and traded up the year before for the future QB. I have no idea if Lance will pan out but honestly of all the 2021 draft class QB's he's still the one I would put my money to be the best of the class. I would expect growing pains though. I don't expect to see him play at a high level immediately like a Mahomes or Herbert. If he ends up succeeding it will be more in the Josh Allen development tree. His first season starting could be similar to Allen's 2nd year. And then Lance takes off in his 3rd year (2nd year starting). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell. If you get the Watson you get out of Houston he's a tier 1 franchise QB for the next decade barring injury. Like the Rams though they're going to have to hit on day two and day three draft picks to compete given Watson's salary and the draft capital given up to get him. Knowing the Browns they'll find a way to screw it up. Watson is definitely a tier above Jimmy G though and four years younger.
