Smarter with the football? 4 of 7 INT's have come in the red zone. I wouldn't exactly call that "smarter". More accurate? Last year, Brock had a completion percentage of 69.4%. That was with Deebo, CMC, Aiyuk and Kittle. This year, he's at 64.5% In 2019 in that SB season, Garoppolo had a completion percentage of 69.1% and he didn't have Aiyuk of CMC. He had Kittle, a rookie Deebo and Emmanuel Sanders.
They are better on offense. By every metric. Defense carried the team in 2019 for the most part.
Brock didn't have Aiyuk this week. Hasn't had CMC all year. Yet look where he ranks above.
Look at the difference in YPA.
To suggest paying Jimmy the highest paid contract in the league was smart but not paying Brock even that much when the price for a QB has doubled is asinine.
