The biggest difference between Jimmy's first handful of games in 2017 and Brock's in 2022 is Jimmy had a 4.9% TD rate and Brock had a 7.6% TD rate. You could say that Jimmy didn't have the same level of talent around him in 2017. But Jimmy's TD rate was still lower in 2022 with a 5.2% with the same level of talent around him. And don't say that Jimmy didn't have CMC for half of those games in 2022 because Brock didn't have Deebo for most of his starts. And I consider CMC and Deebo the same level of talent.
Jimmy didn't have CMC for half those starts…… 😈 hahah
I also think the fact that jimmy wasn't really running the actual offense and Brock was, is a material difference and should inspire confidence that Brock will continue it.
We didn't see Jimmy slow down until he was entrenched in running the system, even before he tore his ACL, he didn't look good in those couple of games.
Jimmy was also a 2nd round draft pick who sat behind Brady for a few years before coming to us. Brock was the last pick in the draft coming off the bench in the middle of a playoff run. Two way different situations. Jimmy came in toward the end of an inevitable failed season. Absolutely no pressure on him whatsoever. Brock came in to lead a team that was in the middle of a playoff run. That is tremendous pressure on such a young kid. Dude was learning on the job and never once cracked and came within 1 game of the SB because of a freak injury.
Yeah, man. It's nothing short of incredible. It was a very special performance. Would of been a special performance for a #1 overall pick, let alone the final pick in the draft.
he has some special traits to him. He flashed some amazing things. IMO, and it looks like the teams too, you find out if that was real before anything else. You don't go back to something thay hasn't worked yet and devote resources to it when you have no data proving otherwise. You continue putting your valuable resources into the guy who did special things.
