Honestly at this point everyone is beating the dead horse...pundits and analysis as well. Yes Jimmy is probably the worst remaining QB in the playoffs. Yes he's inconsistent. BUT Jimmy with this team and HC make SF a hard out every week. The unit as a whole makes this team competitive every damn week. Jimmy is part of that.
This was his year and that was never gonna change unless he got hurt. This was also the off season to go in a different direction at QB past 2021. That was my point for the past year. Could I be a little blunt in regard to what Jimmy is in my eyes, sure. Didn't mean I hated the dude or think he's the worst QB in the league.
My debate for the most part, was how much he was getting paid during a covid cap season. He's currently the 2nd highest paid player in the playoffs (only behind Rogers) let's keep s**t real here and understand that's stupid. Is what it is now, Kyle and Co wanted to go this route and for the most part it's paid off. We will see what Lance is BUT I f**king hope the Jimmy can do no wrong and he's the QB so you support him crowd, apply that SAME energy to Lance....at least for the 1st 4 years of his career.
That's a ShanaLynch and Paraag moneyball issue.
Even then, he's simply paid within the realm of a starting playoff QB today.
As to if we're getting our money's worth? So far so good...Superbowl and into the Divisional round of the playoffs. But that's up to Kyle and the FO and they've decided to go cheaper.
You should see how many "overpaid" QB's didn't even make these playoffs or are already bounced.
There's not Moneyball issue, if anything it's the opposite of money ball. And I'm not blaming Jimmy for getting as much money as possible.
Even then he's not worth what he's getting paid in 2021. I completely disagree SF got their our money's worth. SF basically ate $63.4M in cap space because of two lost seasons.
I'm looking at QBs that are CURRENTLY in the playoffs and this is their cap hits....
Rogers $27.6M
Jimmy $26.4M
Stafford $20M
Tannehill $11.1M
Brady $10.5M
Allen $10.2M
Burrow $8.2M
Mahomes $7.4M
The highest paid QB to win a SB since 2010 was Brady at $25M last yr, he ate up 12.4% of his teams total cap space. The highest to win since the cap was Steve Young in 1994 at 13.1% (first year NFL had a cap).
