Sounds like the one cherry picking is you my friend. I get you want a guy who can make every throw in the game but if you say you're being objective then let's not go out of your way to make silly points.
I understand it was your attempt at humor with the way someone said Jimmy was sniper like accuracy but this thread is filled with hyperbole. No different than you saying Jimmy's play vs Arizona was terrible.
His play vs the Dolphins was terrible.
Either way dogging a guy for doing what the play calls for regardless of complexity is unnecessary. There are plays that weren't super difficult that he missed like the throw to Juice that you can concentrate on.
absolutely that's cherry picking because you're leaving out the fact that he actually pushes the ball downfield on top of a couple shovel passes. Mahomes and Jimmy aren't close to the same as far as quarterbacking goes. It's dumb to even mention them together. They're also are in very similar offensive schemes. Difference is Reid uses Mahomes arm in his play-calling. Same offense wasn't doing that with Smith for a reason....good coaches play to their QBs strengths and limitations.
I just accept the fact of what Jimmy is...a good QB when everything is under structure, like last night. Not asked to make overall difficult throws and manage the game under Kyle's scheme.
NOW that's either because Kyle wants complete control... and how the offense played last night is
exactly how he wants his offense to look....
or the play-calling is tailormade for his QB. You tell me which it is?
Also please tell me what silly points I'm making? The OP I commented on talked about YAC and how Jimmy must be super accurate to make the play go...I pointed out about 68 yards of his 268 yards being forward hand offs and you don't really need to be super accurate to do that. Toss in a bunch of easy read dump offs that were within 10 yards of the LOS. You DO NOT have to be super accurate to do that as a NFL QB. I THEN pointed out some very nice throws by Jimmy (which for whatever reason you just bypassed) and that seems to rub you the wrong way?
Again not dogging, talking about what happened. I was just as happy when he handed the ball off 40x in the Minn playoff game as I was last night with the W. I will say if we actually want to win this yr, they're gonna have to push the ball downfield at some point. We don't have the defense to shut down some of these offenses. He's gonna have to at the very least make throws like the one he missed to Juice last night. Also it's not all on him, OL will have to PP longer and guys can't be dropping easy balls.
FYI just because I don't think it's all rainbows and kittens with Jimmy doesn't mean I hate him or don't think he can't win games. He's proven he can.
Pointing out good/bad & critiquing our team/QB is what fans do
