And therein lies the problem with Jimmy. His reputation is such that major blunders are inexcusable to the fan base. Guys like Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes, and even second tier good players like Burrow, Herbert can get away with bad games because it's considered an "off day". With Jimmy, it's almost an expectation that he is going to f**k things up eventually, and therefore the patience level from both the fan base and coaching staff has wore thin. It's why he was treated like s**t on the off-season and TC (unjustifiably).
He really needs to win a SB this season to have any sort of street cred, or else he'll be finding a new home next season. Personally, I trust him more than Trey, and would love to see him win us a SB and stay on this team long term. I just don't see it happening - he's gonna screw us eventually…
A SB win buys a lot of good will. How many times have you heard guys on the radio talking about whether some QB should be in the HOF and they often say "well he hasn't won a SB" . I don't agree that it's a requirement for greatness, but it shows how a lot of people view it.
