That game illustrated how any QB in the league can look good under the right circumstances. Eagles in a soft defense because of that 2 point conversion allowed CJ to move right down the field. It also showed Nick's limitations. If he can't get rid of the ball to the 1st or 2nd read he's dead. He absolutely is a statue back there. Two INTs and a lost fumble were the difference in a game that the Niners should have won.
The O line was manhandled for much of the game. The Eagles have a lot of injuries but their D line is really solid. They also have depth that can keep their guys fresh. I'm not sure Jimmy would have handled that pressure better but he is a little better at rolling away from the rush.
Yeah if the running game is humming, Nick is good to go. he's a system QB and knows the scheme. When something breaks down and he's got to hold onto the ball for any length of time it's a s**t show.
His arm strength is subpar and he just can't extend plays. He's a backup for a reason. OL was trash but Mullens lost us that game.
Can you imagine if we had a QB with top end arm talent, who could actually extend plays (and was smart enough to understand the offense/ read defenses), add in Kyle
Love Jimmy and he's QB1 in SF no doubt. I think we could do better though.
We had a chance at a QB with arm talent but went with Solomon Thomas. Did trade up for beathard tho. Shanny knows his QBs!!
Who? Mitch Tribisky? Because that's who was thought to be considered at that spot. Let's not pretend like people were really clamoring to Draft Mahommes at #2 or 3 overall. I saw several "draft experts" grade him as a 2nd round pick, a couple even said 3rd round. The debate for me at 2/3 was between Jamal Adams, Marshon Lattimore, and Malik Hooker. I finally settled on Adams (better player over true scheme fit), but suggested that the 49ers trade back into the later 1st round for Mahommes - and I got laughed at! Mahommes was my favorite QB in that draft, and even I was surprised when the Chiefs traded up to 10 to get him.
Ironically, I thought Solomon Thomas looked like a 2nd or 3rd round pick...
Mahomes was my favorite qb that year as well but not at pick 3. The teens or twenties seemed reasonable that year. I liked the pick of Solly at that time. Boy was I wrong.
Obviously, Jimmy is our best option for the remainder of this year. Anyone else given any thought about Wentz in Shanny's offense if the Eagles continue to nose dive this year, bench Wentz and put in Hurts at the end. Arm talent is there and athleticism obviously is still there. Wentz with Deebo, Aiyuk, Kittle, Juice and Mostert could really be something special in my opinion.
