If he's awful, it's an easy fix... you get rid of him. But if he's just ok, you end up waiting on him for years to develop. Instead of seeing him for what he is you make countless excuses refusing to see the writing on the wall.
We assume because he's a "pocket passer" that he's intelligent and can read defenses, but he's shown just the opposite. How many games last year did he literally throw the ball up for grabs. You guys talk about his numbers from last year as if they were amazing, they weren't. 27 TDs vs 13 ints is not great, especially when he was surrounded by the best running attack in the NFL, explosive weapons, the best tight end and a play caller who could make anyone successful.
Even Kyle doesn't trust Jimmy. That's why he threw the ball 9 times against the Vikings and it's why he was so scared to call an aggressive game in the super bowl.
Jimmy's "talent" is overrated. He's a one read quarterback with zero pocket presence and mobility, above average arm talent who breaks down mentally when things get tough. Jimmy is basically a slightly lesser version than Andy Dalton.
We need to move on before we waste another could-have-been dynasty.
can we stop with this stupid untrue and nonsensical take now?
jesus christ lol let's go back to pre-2011 alex smith and Trent Dilfer even
"0 pocket presence. 1-read QB"
One example of him going thru his progressions, nice. But that's not typical of him.
That's because typically we don't have the pass protection allowing for that many progression checks.
When he does have time, he holds too long, doesn't move in the pocket, and folds and takes a sack or closes his eyes and throws something up. He can't extend... AT ALL.
You can't just type words and make them true 🤣🤣🤣
