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.

Despicable.
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 zone 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."
No I want Jimmy to be unable to play at the end of the season IF Lance is healthy.
Like a pulled hammy or something mild that prevents him from being our playoff starter IF Lance is medically cleared and available and 100%.
No different than last year when I hoped Jimmy's thumb injury would keep him out towards the end of the season and Lance would come in and start in the playoffs.
Or how about this for those who get butt hurt far too easily over the above....
I hope if we've locked up a playoff spot Jimmy has a terrible final two games and we still find a way to win and we go with Lance to start in the playoffs.
In the end I'm tired of the Jimmy playoffs movie and hope if Lance is somehow 100% that conditions play out that Jimmy is not the starter first game of the playoffs whether through poor play or some kind of MILD injury that keeps him out.
Fools in here acting like I'm wishing some serious career-threatening or concussion injury on Jimmy...all because they're in love with him and caught up in their feels.
I simply want to win the Super Bowl and don't think Jimmy can make it happen. I sure as hell would love to be wrong and get #6 this year w Jimmy being a primary reason for it.
That being said...my position has major flaws itself as the whole idea behind the Lance move was that by the time he had 17 starts under his belt he'd be clearly better than Jimmy and our best chance at a SB...and if Lance had to start in the playoffs this year it would be without that in game seasoning over the course of the year so very risky in terms of volatility of outcome.
Will be very frustrating to lose in the playoffs with Jimmy and a healthy Lance on the bench and active as the #2. Whereas if Lance is not available than a playoff loss would be expected out of Jimmy and easier to swallow since Lance was out with an injury and could not play.
