Jimmy did a very good job for us here. Were and are there better quarterbacks? Of course. But when you find one who plays at a high enough level for you to win at a high level, it's not as easy as fans want to think to just "replace him with someone better."
We tried that obviously with Lance. And when it was all said and done Kyle didn't have as much faith in Trey as he did in Sam Darnold for crying out loud.
If Jimmy has an Alex Smith level career than he winds up being a very good NFL QB. Because Alex wound up being pretty good. His main problem was he was the number one overall pick in the NFL draft and when that's the case at that position, if you're not one of the league's best then you're a disappointment if not a bust in some eyes.
I'd say his main problem was he was a plus player as a 49er in 1.5 of the 8 years he was a 49er.
Hard to be a plus player with Mike Nolan trying to wreck his career.
Sure. I dont disagree. But that doesnt negate what I said.
