If they go nickel or dime vs blitzing Jimmy, that will pose a problem for defenses once we have faster guards that can free up McKinnon to roll over DB's and Safeties' that come in when the LB's and DT's leave the field. Kyle is already countering today, what the future defensive coordinator's predicted defensive adjustments will be this next season. Pure genius and all because of the Jimmy GQ effect.
Garoppolo excelled at both. According to Pro Football Focus Signature Stats, Garoppolo was only under pressure on 32.6% of his drop backs (31st in the NFL), but led the NFL in completion percentage (33-53, 62.3% completion), yards per attempt (8.3ypa).

If people ever wonder what Dan Marino's quick release would be like in a WCO back in the 80's and 90's, it would be Jimmy with Kyle. I'm sure I wasn't the only one watching Marino back then and wonder what he would be like in a Walsh offense. It's devastating with the quick release and the short and intermediate passing offense. What Kyle trying to do is add more speed (I think the size comes later) to those areas, especially in those short area. It challenged the reaction time of the defense, both on the quick throw and tackling the quick receiver.
You can see a little of that in Aaron Rodgers but I don't think the Packers was fully successful at adding speed to go along with Rodgers somewhat quick release. Randall Cobb comes to mind but I don't remember a RB with power and speed combo. I think Kyles offense with Jimmy gonna be insane. That quick release and speed are tough to replicate in practice. Once in the game, it might be 14-17 points on the board before the defense realized what's happening. You can kinda see it with Goodwin and Taylor last year.
I agree with your thoughts and I'll just add that if Marino had a back like McKinnon, I don't know if we win Super Bowl 1984. The quick release plus the ZBS plus the play action fake to Mckinnon is going to be unstoppable this year. But super bowls are win by defense, not offense.
