Yes, athletes need to take the bag when they are at peak value.

He played the market well.

Can Lance return? Question regarding IR. I know in the past, there was season-ending IR and short-term IR, but I think part of the COVID changes altered the rules.

What if Jimmy gets injured with 2 games to go and Lance represents the only hope into the playoffs?

With regards to your second paragraph this is what I am hoping for.

Seen the Jimmy playoffs movie too many times.

I think we can only bring 8 players back from IR and I'm not sure what number we're currently at.

Context and specificity.

"IF" Jimmy is injured, Eziekel and I are saying we hope Lance returns as we both believe Jimmy cannot get all the day over the top. And it remains to be seen if Lance can.

That's not what that sentence says. If you meant something different, that's cool.

To be very clear, I do not hope for Jimmy to be injured. But I do expect him to be injured in some capacity this season, and if it's a major injury or an injury at the end of the season, my hope would be lance returning.

This accomplishes two goals: 1) Jimmy wins game and advanced to playoffs when starting, and 2) I fundamentally don't believe Jimmy can win it all, maybe Lance can catch fire like Kap did last half dozen games in 2012.

I do not believe Shanahan will alter depth chart at QB unless an injury occurs. So it's Jimmy's ride until it isn't.

Or if we go into the sh*tter, then it would make sense to get Lance up to speed, a la Jimmy of 2017.

Thanks, that's a reasonable position. The previous articulation, which Ezekiel seems to support, said something very different.

Edit: I should say, "Ezekiel's response, which you cosigned, said something very different."

I like your content but this not really ringing the bell for me here..

First JG can win anywhere anytime. He beat a 13-3 team on the road and he defeated last years SB champ on the road. The roster is as good as it has been. How would we go into the bleep as you say? TL in 5 qtrs against two teams with rook secondaries had no TDs.. you think he's walking into Dec/Jan when he hasn't been walking or throwing and starts catching fire.. delusional. Purdy > Lance right now cuz of the medical situation Purdy has been practicing / dressing / throwing that stuff matters TL rusty as bleep, he needs another offseason.

How do we go in the sh*tter?
- Jimmy injury in the next few weeks
- more secondary injuries

My opinion of Jimmy is he's a starting quality player with certain strengths and weaknesses culminating in a 12-18th overall rating in the league. In the playoffs, his performance has been awful… to the point that he's literally the worst 4th quarter playoff QB in league history. He's also playing above his career average now, so either he's better this season or we should expect some "return to the mean" type of games.

It would be hard to fathom a scenario where Purdy would usurp Lance for starting reps unless due to injury. And if our season was in the balance, and we could start Lance or Purdy, …

ar least one guy has 4 NFL starts.

Im not as bullish on Lance as I am now after the injury, but there is still the "potential" for a SB formula. Jimmy has an all-time good offense around him, he should succeed. And I expect him to in the season, but I also expect him to take a serious step back when the playoffs start.

If JG got injured with a couple games left in the season, I wonder if they would risk bringing Trey back given they consider him the QB of the future. Purdy may actually be a better choice given he has practiced all year and isn't coming off an injury
