I've got so much crow to feed people
Got one dude(Vikes fan) telling me I should pump my breaks cuz I'm excited about Jimmy after being excited about Kap and that falling apart.
Jimmy has shown so much more than Kap ever has it's crazy. I'm keeping my expectations W/L wise low for this year as I don't think we're there on defense yet and the schedule is brutal this year but I can't wait til week 1. I don't know if we're going to win as that team is pretty stacked and we'll certainly be underdogs on the road...but boy would that be a great way to start the season. The pressure will certainly be on them.
Agreed. Kap never showed this much skill from the pocket. And yes, week 1 is going to be a though game. I also agree with keeping expectations low as I feel we still have pieces missing and the schedule is tough. As long as we finally beat Seattle this year I'll be happy. We've lost 9 straight to them and I'm sick of it.
I thought Kaep was progressing, but he never had the weapons he needed to take advantage of his skill set. Also, I thought Harbaugh was the QB whisperer with Luck as his college QB, he could turn Kaep into Steve Young 2.0. Now it's clear to me that Luck was developed by David Shaw, not Harbaugh. You look at what Harbaugh did at Michigan U. after he left us and his QB's there have been mediocre. Totally opposite situation now, where you have Kyle tutoring Matty Ice to be an elite QB and when Kyle leaves, Matty becomes luke warm. It's amazing what Jimmy has done, and I'm pretty confident, (much more confident than I was with Kaep) that Jimmy is the real deal, the real Franchise QB this team hasn't had since Steve Young. I'm also stoked about BeatHard. Kittle says Jimmy and BeatHard are very similar in that they can process very fast while in the pocket.
