LOL at everyone who thinks we have a better shot at winning a SB now. We were going to need an other worldly defensive season and a dominant rushing game regardless, just like any past success we've had with Shanahan.
In 6 playoff games Jimmy averages 160 yards per game, 60% comp., and only has 4 passing TD's. You think he's going to factor in to our Super Bowl run? When the playoffs come around we're all just holding our breath hoping he doesn't throw a stupid pick. How has everyone forgot about this already?
To be fair to Jimmy, those 3 games last year he played injured, which did impact his play.
Now, that's not to say I'm expecting him to turn it up another level that he's yet to show.
At least with Jimmy there's still a chance at a SB win. Very few teams can say that with their backup QB at the start of the season. Some do win the SB, usually with great defense (1990 Giants, 2000 Ravens, 2001 Patriots).
