Stafford tried to fold, and Tartt dropped the ball, he is who he has always been, he just had a better team around him than in Detroit. Also, you have a bad habit of trying to blame a single player for team collapses. We lost that superbowl because our pass rush got gassed and couldn't get pressure on Mahomes. They blew a 10 point lead in the fourth quarter, that is not solely on Garoppolo, though he certainly played his part in it.
He also lead game winning drives. He can overcome a INT Jimmy not a chance. I'll take a gunslinger like Stafford/Favre all day over the game managers like Jimmy.
Yes you're right having the worst 4th QR rating in Super History didn't matter. Having more INTs than TDs and overall the worst 4th QR rating in all of his playoff games combined didn't affect "blowing leads" late in games.
We lost that SB for a bunch of reasons, ONE major reason was because of the QB play...who if he did his job correctly late in games, wouldn't have to depend on the pass rush.
