9moon hack your account?
Nah he has been consistent throughout his time here. He led the charge in ruining Alex Smith threads and he is doing it again here in the Jimmy thread. The funny thing about it is that his takes are the exact opposite here that they were in the Alex thread, in spite of Jimmy being a substantially better QB than Alex could ever dream of being for us.
Man… my Jimmie Ward is your Alex Smith. Lol
Haha. I dont think its much of a hot take to say Jimmy has been markedly better as a 49er than Alex Smith was.
Pre 2011? Absolutely, Jimmy outperformed Alex.
Jimmy is/was the more natural thrower of the football than Alex no question. But his footwork and pocket mobility was way worse than Alex's IMO.
But you know as well as I do that Alex had a new offensive coordinator every single year. Jimmy had Kyle Shanahan... kinda unfair to compare with that fact alone.
I think Alex performed better in the playoffs, was traded for 2 second rounders (Jimmy released?), and his post 49ers career without question will be better than Jimmy's.
I'm not confident Jimmy will start a full season for the rest of his career, whether that's due to opportunity or injuries. I hope he does get a chance elsewhere so this debate can continue.
In the end... Jimmy is more of a gunslinger than Alex. Alex was a game manager. If Jimmy didn't tear his ACL I think I would agree with you that Jimmy is clearly superior. But at this moment I don't think he's proved that yet.
