Jitterin' Jimmy... eyes wide shut when we needed him most. He's a 28 year old multi-millionaire, he will be fine. Unfortunately, he was a big reason we didn't win a super bowl. He's average at best and isn't reliable when you need him. And in this day and age, you need a quarterback who can go out there and win you big games on his own. He can't, let's move on and find someone who can.

No look passes are the cool thing to do these days.

Mods...what are we doing here?

These guys clearly aren't watching the games and coming in here to troll.

I can expect fans of other teams posting that pick and pretending he threw the ball with his eyes closed. People who actually watched the game understand he's trying to throw the ball away after that "fine pass protection" and he's getting hit mid throw and he's bracing for impact.

Irony is you have all these people b***hing about him not throwing the ball away. Here was a play he tries to throw the ball away and due to the hit he takes it doesn't have enough to get out of bounds.

Sometimes taking a sack IS the smart thing to do. But I can pretty much guarantee if Jimmy ate that sack instead of trying to arm the ball out people would be bashing him for not throwing the ball away.

I kind of enjoy reading the butthurtness over Jimmy being the QB. Can't wait for him to get healthy and get back in the lineup. I want to see him with the young WRs to start building up some chemistry.

Why people can't stand Lamar Jackson, I'll never know. 36 tds vs 6 ints. He's ahead of Jimmy as a player, an athlete and a quarterback. He was an excellent draft pick, a deserved MVP. Seems like a good dude, hard worker. There's only one reason I can think of...

They lose one game to the defending super bowl champs and you vultures come out of nowhere.

And explain what that reason is???

Imo he's not got a great QB. A great QB can play in Multiple schemes. He's not rocking in a WCO. He's not overly accurate and for someone complaining about jimmy being a one-read guy that's a bit hypothetical when you're propping up Jackson.

Once they get behind they can't run all these RPOs and Lamar is forced to be a pocket passing QB and as we saw last night it's not always pretty.

Mahomes/Wilson are on another level. Jackson is fun for fantasy football.

I actually gave Jimmy credit during that game, saying that he showed some heart and played well.

But that doesn't change his trend of subverting expectations and folding when there's pressure around him. He looks like a bottom tier qb when we need him most, worse even, he looks scared. I don't want that in a quarterback.

Did I miss something? Why are we talking about Stafford?

I now remember why I don't go into this thread...so much nonsense.

Someone was talking about how Jimmy G was a Matthew Stafford/Andy Dalton QB who would get their teams good records when they have a good roster but would suck when their roster collapses. I responded by saying that Jimmy had got us to a Superbowl, while none of those teams had, then this Stafford vs Garoppolo argument started.

Meh someone posted how Stafford wouldn't be better than Jimmy in this offense or some s**t.

The worst thing in professional sports is being handcuffed by a mediocre quarterback. 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.

lol sure bud. keep moving the goal posts. your take is still dumb, and just untrue.

I hope you're right. I'll eat all the crow in the world if he leads us to a super bowl win.

And to think I came to read the Mullens/Jimmy G controversy. Guess that morphed into something else

Jimmy also has had 7 career 4th qtr comebacks in 29 games. There's only 2 games before this season where he didn't have a 4 qtr comeback when given the opportunity. One was the first game vs the Hawks last year when our street signed kicker missed a 41 yarder into the tunnel, then the SB. Sucks that the ONE time it doesn't happen is in the most important game, but let's not act like he folds under pressure.

I never said he didn't have that in him or folded under pressure. The other poster said Stafford wasn't clutch which is just not true.

I got no problem being on this bandwagon...

Stafford/Shanahan > Jimmy G/shanahan.

FWIW I don't hate Jimmy G, He's my QB! Personally I don't think we have a FQB on the roster though. Just my opinion all good.

Jimmy's comebacks weren't exactly epic. At least 4 ended in a FG and none of them were ever more than one TD from behind. Not really that hard in the NFL to do when you have a decent kicker and enough time on the clock. Not the same as a 2 or 3 score comeback. In fact, a lot of NFL comebacks are because the opposing team left too much time on the clock or gave up field position.

TD to Bourn vs. the Steelers. TD to Wilson vs. the Cards. the 4th down throw to Kittle in NO, while he got a ton of YAC, the magnitude of that moment and that being potentially the last play of the game was pretty damn epic in itself. the 2 3rd & 16's we converted in a row vs. the Rams was epic IMO

Did you ever stop and think that late comebacks are due to lazy quarterbacking through the first three quarters? You shouldn't reward a guy for procrastinating. That Montana guy was notorious for this.
