Jimmy took us to the title game anyway. Lol.
That last sentence is as accurate as saying Sam Darnold has taken the Seahawks to the nfc championship.
Jimmy helped get the team to the Championship game that year. After Lance went down, he came and played well enough to put a little winning streak together. If he hadn't been there would Brock have gotten an earlier start and accomplished the same thing? Maybe, but the fact remains that Brock didn't come in for Lance and Jimmy helped get the job done, just as he did in 2019. He had his shortcomings as a QB, but he helped bring the team back to legitimacy and his teammates supported him for it. There are worse legacies to have as a QB.
What an astute post.
Speaking of legacies that are alright to have, did you know that Jimmy ranks #9 all time in QBR?
Of course it doesn't mean anything. But it makes a statement about how efficiently he ran shanny's scheme.

One of the things this stat slaps you with is
how MUCH the rule changes have impacted quarterback efficiency over the years. It's startling.
For example, in the top 45 qb's, there is only one QB who started his career in the 1970's. Guess who? Joe.
And there is only one QB who started his career in the 1980's. Guess who? Steve.
Quite a testament to this guy
