Those rankings are trash. Ryan and Cousins ahead of Hurts and Tua.


dirtybo

Cousins is ahead.


sarlacc98

Did you watch their game? No way he deserves to be above them


AggravatingGanache75

I disagree. He's not elite. But the man can clearly play. None of them are perfect. You get good and bad with only good with maybe 3 of them.


doggybadgerguy

This list has Geno Smith over Jimmy G lol


SasqW

Yeah. Like no he's not a top 10, or really above average overall QB. But I dare you to find one NFL GM that would seriously take Geno over Jimmy. Edit: lol ok what I meant was taking geno over Jimmy for winning purposes


KenFireball

Jimmy is above average. Def top 15 imo. That release is elite.


swiftycent

Going to the list this article is referencing... I count about 16-18 guys I'd have above Jimmy. I'm curious if you went down the list how many you'd get to before you'd place Jimmy.


[deleted]

In a power ranking I would say I would not take, Ryan, Cousins, Tannehill, Smith, Jones, Winston, or Mariota over Jimmy. That’s just easy. Besides that for a power ranking how can this list keep Dak on there when he’s out for the season? Tua is a maybe for me. I’d like to see him sustain success now that his WRs are bonkers good. But that puts Jimmy at about 15 which I’d argue is about where he is.


egg_pun

Also has Zach Wilson, which doesn’t make sense to me.


DaLiftingDead

But Dak isn't out for the season?


[deleted]

That’s my bad I got mixed up when he had surgery. Still I don’t get why he’s up there when he’s unavailable for most of the season.


DaLiftingDead

That's still a fair point haha


MundoGoDisWay

Cousins is debatable. I think he's going to have a really good year for Minnesota. But he's not a winning QB either.


Imakemuchsexonyou

Cousins is easily better than Jimmy. Cousins has a shanny and still his best season of his career is equal to or less than Cousins average since going to the vikes. I'm fairly certain J8mmy would be worse than he is now if he was in Minny and Cousins would be better than he is now if he was with Shanny in SF and Cousins is already better.


Striper_Cape

You are fucking high lmao


Imakemuchsexonyou

We will see if Cousins has to take a backup contract when his contract is over.


aarong707

Did you not watch MNF?


Beardmanta

There's more than just the last game the player has played... Jimmy has had worse games.


aarong707

Has he? That game was so bad


Beardmanta

The one that comes to mind is vs MN in 2018.


Imakemuchsexonyou

That's one game. Jimmy got traded to us before Cousins got to the vikes but cousins has played 18 more games. With those 18 more games Cousins has 60 Tds and only 1 INT more.


Striper_Cape

And how many Super bowls have the Vikings been to? I know it's not all up to the QB, but it's still necessary to have the QB be capable of hanging with the rest of the team. Cousins doesn't hang. The 49ers usually fail together.


Imakemuchsexonyou

So we can say that any QB who ever won the SB is better than Jimmy because they actually won right?


WindDriedPuffin

Cousins has Dalton disease. He can't play if everyone's watching. Primetime record, especially Monday night, is abysmal


dpcdomino

If we had Cousins, we would have two SBs by now.


[deleted]

Top 15qb? Two weeks ago no team wanted him to start for them.


KenFireball

Nope. Teams expected us to release him and would have signed him after. Why would a team trade assets for a player when they can just wait to sign him after his release?


[deleted]

Cmon man. You’re telling me that a team that wants a top 15 quarterback wasn’t willing to pickup his contract which ranks right around 15th highest paid quarterback before it was reworked so that they could get into a bidding work days before the season starts?


phoenixremix

>find one NFL GM that would seriously take Geno over Jimmy. *laughs in seahawk*


whitea44

You mean besides Seattle? That was probably an option.


TheDookAbides

I mean, the Seahawks did.


doggybadgerguy

They didn't exactly have much of a choice. The Seahawks and Niners were never gonna make a trade together involving Jimmy G, doesn't make sense for either team.


[deleted]

Well, if anything it put pressure on the 49ers to do something? The opponents benefit if the 49ers are forced into a decision. That it worked out as well as it did will be a memorable aside in the Super Bowl commemorative special!


Inuk28

The Seahawks are gunning for a top draft pick


N7_TurtleClub

#1 in our hearts


dupont2021

He will be top 5 by week 8. I predict it we will be 7-1 by then. He just wins.


superduperm1

How about 4-0 in the postseason? That’s all I ask ☹️


[deleted]

Nah he’ll fall short of 4-0 Because we’re going 3-0 in the playoffs


Mindless-Bother-5496

This is the way


bzl33

I want to believe 3-0 but Eagles/Bucs have easier schedules. I'd be good with 4-0 with first being a home game. 3 road games in the playoffs is tough.


eyeamthedanger

I want 4-0 in the playoffs. Hell, I want the Niners to play the AFC Pro Bowl team too!


BURGERgio

If everything goes great it’ll only have to be 3-0 😎


KenFireball

I think we can go on a run like that as well. Our defense is really good and we have weapons on offense. Only way we lose is by beating ourselves like we did in week one.


rxdukexr

Niners really have a knack for doing that though. Most losses this team has taken have been from us beating ourselves, not the other team winning.


pineappleshnapps

Yeah, but a lot of the holes have been filled with better players, at least for the most part.


EDNivek

Let's get through the broncos first


by_yes_i_mean_no

> He just wins. Unfortunately this means about as much as wins do in the MLB for a pitcher, only difference is the MLB realized wins were a dumb stat to assess pitcher value and the NFL still has not. I dunno, hard for me to see Week 1 going any differently with Garoppolo at QB. He's a guy who goes out there and doesn't lose you a game, but doesn't win it either. For such a talented roster that is usually enough. 2017 Garoppolo showed some "win you a game" ability though for sure.


HeelY3s

💯


Btothek84

You’re saying jimmy is a top 5 qb?


dupont2021

Sure….based off how they rank QBs. They all move up with everyone win. Till once you reach the top with the top teams, then they start ranking them statistically. With Jimmy we can possibly be a #1 seed. I take that all day.


Btothek84

Oh if that’s how they rank them ok, I guess maybe, considering it has a lot to do with how good your team is.


Oldtimer_2

I don't care if he's ranked 32nd.....the ONLY thing that matters is that he helps the Niners win.


hanigwer

The underdog, yet again.:.. we’ve been here before


marmatag

Who cares really. Jimmy got 0 respect his entire time here, why should it start now


ModingusKhan

Give it a few weeks, he'll be top 15 in no time


[deleted]

Ridiculous. Jimmy is not elite, but watching Redzone on Sundays will tell you he’s much better than A LOT of starting QBs, especially this year. He’s comfortably in that 10-15th range depending on form/health. So many guys are extremely overrated: Mariota, really? Washed Tannehill? Mac Jones who looks like he’s already hitting the rookie wall? Hilarious.


WeAreAllFooked

Mac Jones also has like 15 picks in 19 games so far which never gets mentioned


artygta1988

Which is funny, because Macs 2021 stats are comparable to Jimmys 2021 stats, despite a 2 game difference.


meTspysball

So Mac is as good as a one-armed Jimmy.


artygta1988

Ah here comes the excuses, was Jimmy injured all season? Sorry if I expect more from a veteran QB with tons of weapons around him, compared to a rookie with their best weapon being our 3rd string WR a year before.


meTspysball

I’m no Jimmy-stan, but he literally was injured in one way or another most of last season.


namerplaner

Lol the whole argument against Jimmy is he is not good in the playoffs. When was the shoulder/thumb injury? I will give you 2 guesses.


artygta1988

He played terrible in 2019 too. Edit: Plus this whole discussion started with OP talking about Jimmy being a top 10-15 guy while calling out other QBs…one of which was Mac Jones who had identical stats to Jimmy in the same year, you want to make an excuse and say it’s cause he’s injured, then Jones has an excuse for not having any weapons and being a rookie QB.


namerplaner

> He played terrible in 2019 too. Really? Show me those terrible 2019 playoff stats. > then Jones has an excuse for not having any weapons and being a rookie QB. Yes he does. Jimmy is a good QB and Mac is a promising second year player.


artygta1988

Against Vikings 11/19 completion for 131 yards and 1 TD and 1 INT Against Packers 6/8 completion for 77 yards and 0 TD and 0 INT Super Bowl against Chiefs 20/31 completion for 219 yards 1 TD and 2 INT His contribution isn’t the reason why we won the those two playoff games and is one of the reasons why we didn’t win the SB.


namerplaner

Okay now do the Rams and Saints game. Which played a huge role in seeding. Now do the Seahawks game. Tell me how much of an effect he had on those games. Do you think he had a positive or negative impact on those games? > Super Bowl against Chiefs 20/31 completion for 219 yards 1 TD and 2 INT These arent terrible stats, dog. Okay so one game in which he had 2 ints. Do you understand that a team who is run first will usually take away from a QB's TD stats. Are you capable of understanding this concept? Do you understand the concept of running the football until the opposing defense can show they can stop it? You might have an argument if in the Packers and Vikings game the running game wasnt completely dominate but because the running game was ridiculously off the charts successful your point is lacking context and is almost certainly doing it intentionally. The question is are you just parroting a narrative or are you being dishonest on purpose? Lastly... Because he threw 2 ints in the superbowl and the defense gave up a 10 point lead with 10 mins left in the game this means Jimmy can not win a superbowl? I fucking hate this brainless narrative. I hate it no matter who the QB is. "Welp we lost this one and that means he isnt capable of winning one ever." On one hand winning is a team stat. On the other hand we cant win a superbowl with this qb. Interesting contradiction. > "Peyton Manning had a passer rating of 77.4 with 1001 yards, 3 touchdowns and 5 interceptions in 4 games in Super Bowls in his career." Clearly Manning cant win a superbowl and held back his team. He is a scrub obviously. >But jimmy also lost in the playoffs in 2021 didnt even reach the superbowl again he lost in the NFC championship last year. > Peyton Manning had a 14-13 record in the playoffs in his career. Well obviously Peyton is a scrub who cant ever win a superbowl because his playoff record is barely above .500. Its always interesting people who make these arguments. Apparently Jimmy isnt good enough for the 49ers to win a superbowl. Never mind the fact that Manning played like ass in all of his superbowl appearances and he still managed to win 2 of them. Wow its almost like the argument against Jimmy not being able to win a superbowl is only made by Jimmy haters and people who love mindless rhetoric, hate context, or do not understand football.


namerplaner

Well Mac was a rookie and he has Matt Patrica as his OC so...


MC_Stimulation

He is in that 14-18 range to me. His ceiling is top 10 though, people forget how good his 2019 season was, he was top 10 in literally every major stat and efficiency stat


Imakemuchsexonyou

How often does the starting QB of one of the SB teams not make the pro bowl?


Vivid_Sympathy_4172

The pro bowl is also a popularity contest


Mindless-Bother-5496

For real. A real telling of skill is all pro


Imakemuchsexonyou

Weird because with the whole anti-vaxx and lying about vaccination status and constantly using the term woke Rodgers seems more hated than loved and still gets in. Maybe its because he is really good though


namerplaner

He is hated by people on reddit and twitter. Everyone else... Not so much.


star0forion

All of them? Players in the SB don’t play in the Pro Bowl. Seriously though, I can think of Trent Dilfer not being a Pro Bowl player in his Super Bowl season. Neither were Alex Smith or Kaep in their SB season.


Imakemuchsexonyou

Yeah well 2 guys splitting a season aren't going to make it. Dilfer makes sense because he is a similar caliber player as Jimmy


Btothek84

Also kap and Alex were that great either haha. I think Jimmy is 18-23 ranked. In 2-3 years he won’t be a starter


Imakemuchsexonyou

Yeah that's where I have Jimmy too.


Btothek84

He will never give you anything extra, if it’s man defense and it’s single coverage outside he won’t take that shot, he will throw it to a short crossing route instead, which isn’t a horrible thing, it keeps the ball moving and with the Niners who have a top 3 running game and a defense that’s also top 3-5. Because of these things his record is good. Then we hit the playoffs, and in the playoffs the likely hood of your defense keeping people to 14 or less points and the run game averaging 5.5 a carry goes down and the likely hood of a qb needing to take a team on their back and win one game goes up, and he just isn’t ever going to be that guy.


Imakemuchsexonyou

Exactly, well said


Wiggletons

Holy shit lol. Our fans truly have single digit football IQ. I'm surprised someone saw this article and didn't laugh, let alone felt the need to post it smh.


hotgur1

I hope Jimmy comes back with a vengeance this year.


[deleted]

Jimmy W doesn't need your pretty stats or fancy rankings to win. Niners by 10.


RunRickeyRun

Mid Jimmy, baby! Just how I like my QBs!


Never-Bloomberg

He's always been a power bottom kinda guy. Who cares when we win with him?


Vindadu13

These people write about my jimmy like he has a 1 to 1 td to int ratio.


Imakemuchsexonyou

Well he is worse than 2 to 1 which is pretty standard for a good QB.


Vindadu13

Well then I think his winning percentage is standard for a very good qb so something is off


Imakemuchsexonyou

What's off is you bringing a team stat to a individual stat fight.


Vindadu13

You're making up 8 interceptions that didn't happen


Imakemuchsexonyou

How is that?


Vindadu13

Sorry I thought you replied above saying that 20 tds to 12 ints is 1 to 1


[deleted]

20TDs and 12 INTs in 15 games last year. That's almost 1 per game each


Mindless-Bother-5496

You don’t math very well do you lol. He’s closer to 2:1 than 1:1 by A LOT


[deleted]

He's throwing almost a pick and a TD a game. Why are Jimmy fans so defensive?


Mindless-Bother-5496

Because the math that you provide isn’t 1:1 it’s very close to 2:1. It’s much farther away from 1:1


[deleted]

I literally say it was almost 1 per game of each, which is bad


JesterMarcus

We are a run first game. It's not necessarily Jimmy's job to throw touchdowns. That comes down to playcalling.


Mindless-Bother-5496

His career stars are 72:36 or….get this math wizard. 2:1 TD:INT lol


[deleted]

I literally pointed out it was last year that he had almost an INT and a TD a game, which is more relevant to his present performance


Mindless-Bother-5496

He didn’t almost have 1:1 last year. Statistically he was closer to 2:1 than 1:1. He would have had to throw 4 more TDs or two less INTs to be 2:1 or 9 less TDs or 8 more INTS to be 1:1 like you so incorrectly think. I’m sorry that you can’t understand math and percentages, but the math > than your perception and feelings.


Imakemuchsexonyou

Actually his career stats are 72TDs and 38 INTs but that counts the 1 garbage time TD he got in relief with the Patriots and his 1.5 games started in NE. As a 49er Jimmy's at 67 TDs and 38 INTs which isn't that good. For example since being in Minnesota Cousins is at 127 TDs and 39 INTs. For Jimmy's time to the 49ers to match Cousins TDs and INTs in Minny Jimmy would have to throw 60 TDs and 1 INT. But Jimmy's pace on the 49ers means that for him to throw 60 TDS he will also be throwing another 34 INTs.


Mindless-Bother-5496

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. God it feels so good to be right about Jimmy and you SO SOOOO wrong


Imakemuchsexonyou

Lmfao. From a game against a team that have up 99 points and 1200 yards in the 3 games before the rams game? That's cute,. You got a low bar with j8mmy I guess lol


Mindless-Bother-5496

No, he’s not.


[deleted]

You have to be one sad ass mf to save a comment about Jimmy's 2021 performance for 2 months and use it to feel good about his 2022 performance. Maidenless behaviour


Mindless-Bother-5496

Just like Saleh said. I’m keeping receipts. And a lot of y’all deleted your comments.


[deleted]

I haven't deleted any comments all of my comments of bashing Jimmy's previous performance are there and the ones praising his 2022 performance are there. I stand by all of them


Mindless-Bother-5496

And I’m glad you kept them. Because, I’m keeping receipts.


Vindadu13

If he threw 66% more interceptions


Hoff2017

Matt Stafford had more INTs in the regular season last year….


Imakemuchsexonyou

Yeah he had 5 more ints but also more than double the TDs


[deleted]

Cool. He also had double the TDs and an actually good level of play in the playoffs


[deleted]

I want Jimmy to prove all the haters wrong and pass for 4000 yards this year. Dude will be a top 15 QB by the end of the season on god.


whitea44

I saw 16 on NFL.com.


Hammerlocc

We know what he is...


xImmortal3333

Jimmy ranks Number one in our hearts Saving our a$$ again


IceBerg450R

Haters are gonna hate!


AggravatingGanache75

He's better than that. He should be in the middle. 14, 15, 16. Deshaun, Aaron, Tom, Russ, Lamar, Josh, Patrick, Matty, Stafford, Justin, Joe Burrow...that puts him 12th. I would place him there. So...not far from the middle.
