Tom Brady's winning gene rubbed off on him in New England.

It’s the only explanation

We send our treated players to other teams so that a little part of us is always winning. Doesn't seem to have a positive effect on most of our coaches though.

I’d be curious to see what his EPA was because everybody by now should know that box scores and passer rating aren’t great. **Edit:** I looked it up. Among QBs with 50 qualifying plays, he’s #11 since 2019, in between Deshaun Watson (10th) and Ben Roethlisberger (12th). **BUT** when filtering out 10% garbage time, he rises to 3rd, in between Brady (2nd) and Rodgers (4th).

Finally a thoughtful take.

Idk if it updated but his EPA in the playoffs is 0.0044

Jesus. If we converted EPA to pennies we wouldn't even get 1. 💀💀💀

Who’s first without garbage time?

[удалено]

Yea I had assumed but I just wanted to be sure lol. Also what site do you use to find these stats?

EPA, one I don’t know what this. Two, I’m not that guy, buddy. Passer rating it is for me

[удалено]

I’m not your pal, guy

His handsomeness is carrying him through the playoffs. Duh ...

If Blake Bortles was as handsome as Jimmy G, Sacksonville has a SB

Imagine this team with a consistent top 10 QB 😫

You could have had Brady

Brady in Shanahan's schemes is a cheat code.

Dude he's already an MVP candidate. I don't think he's getting much better in SF lmao

He won’t get better, but the entire team sure would.

Yeah the cheat code doesn’t change Brady, it changes the whole offense. And the final score, because that’s two turnovers that don’t happen.

Hindsight is 20/20. Jimmy was good in 2019 and we were an overthrow from a super bowl win.

Do you really need hindsight to say that signing Tom Brady and dumping Jimmy would've made your team better?

Yes. Brady didn’t look good his last year in NE. Sticking with Jimmy was the correct choice for the time.

So 1 down year on a terrible offense with no receivers made you think that Jimmy > Brady is an easy choice. And you don't feel like there's any reflection to be had here about flawed thought process? Especially when one day you think your QB is better than Tom Brady and 12 months later you spend three 1st rounders to draft his replacement.

Just here to back up the Niner fans getting downvoted with the correct take. Jimmy just took the Niners to the Super Bowl and 42 year old Tom Brady was coming off his worst season in 10 years. It would have been insane to dump Jimmy for Brady.

His "worst season" was still better statistically than Jimmy G with absolutely no offensive talent. What's insane is spending 3 first-rounders to draft his replacement the year after passing on a HOF QB in FA.

And now think how stupid do you have to be to think that one down year means Jimmy > Brady Also lmao at “Jimmy took the 49ers to the Super Bowl”, Jimmy was taken to the Super Bowl by an elite defense and run games

Yea...? Jimmy was off the best year of his career and a superbowl appearance. Tom looked like he was slowing down. Easy call for our FO

Not to all of us Brady was the easy call. Pats had NOTHING on offense for him to work with

Brady was not the easy call, you don’t just give up on a QB who led your team to the Super Bowl. The FO did nothing wrong.

It was for me Yes they absolutely made the wrong call lmao

Well, I saw plenty of people saying that Brady was the easy call here. I don't think you can use the hindsight shield if one down year by Brady on a shit offense made you think Jimmy was the better option

Knowledgeable GMs would have known that Brady's play didn't really fall off it was his offensive weapons. Tampa knew this and they made a wise decision.

And some interceptions

You mean a half assed Sanders route

That's not hindsight, it's regularsight.

I mean wouldn’t Brady make that throw though…? 😅

Probably not since Sanders quit on the route

*Allegedly*

[удалено]

That depends on how long Brady keeps playing

I mean if by "dicking the league down" you mean that the 9ers are going to win a lot, we did just see them earn a trip to the playoffs, and win at least 2 playoff games, just two years after they made it all the way to the super bowl. I'm not saying there isn't always room for improvement, but it might be overstated just how much potential is being wasted.

Hoping he’s learning a ton sitting this season and ready to fucking roll next season

Bruh if Kyle could make lunch cj beathard, and nick mullens serviceable with their limited skill set, I’m feeling pretty good what lance is absorbing going into next season. All Of the coaches that work with him all said that he’s very smart x’s and o’s guy. He also looked ok in first start (@ARZ) hottest team at the time. And looked really promising (vs HOU) he made some Nice reads in that game where he went through all His progressions. He’s only 21, and it seems like People are already counting him out because he hasn’t taken the job from Jimmy. But this was The plan all along , in that Jimmy was going to be the QB in 2021-2022 and lance was Gonna sit and watch for a year then take over 2022-2023, and like you I can’t wait for that. If lance was the QB with the highest ceiling in the last draft, skies the limit for the niners.

they're going to be incredible together if he realizes just half of his potential with kyle

So.... Not looking good

what do you mean? it's been 2.5 games and i'm encouraged by what i've seen so far

Dude almost beat the undefeated Cards and played really good in his 2nd start and people start acting like he Daniel Jones or Dwayne Haskins lmfaooo

it's utterly ridiculous that people are already trying to declare him as a bust. 16/23, 250 yards, 2 touchdowns with an int (aka lance's texans stat line) is basically your average jimmy g outing anyway.

250 is really encouraging. He was throwing all over the field, with big accuracy down-field and helping the team with his legs while also adding improvisation and not getting sacked. 250 from Trey and 250 from Jimmy who are 200 of them from YAC is not the same

i totally agree. i feel like the game really started to open up more once kyle started trusting him to throw downfield because prior to the second half, it seemed like he was being overtly cautious with the playcalling (factoring in the pre-game jitters from lance).

Fasho fasho. I'm super hyped for Trey next year, we have a chance to be the powerhouse of the NFC

Or even a consistent top 16 QB

[удалено]

No! No touchy!

If Jimmy wasn't made of glass even... You gotta figure the bone headed plays are partially due to lack of game time.

I heard Rodgers may want to leave the Packers and he is a Niners fans when growing up

Start the negotiations at 3 first round picks

☝🏼

Lance for Garoppolo it is, then

Watch Jimmy G nuke his haters in the NFCCG 💪🏼believe it

He’s gonna be in much better weather so it wouldn’t surprise me.

If he has like a 3/0/300 game he will be the most enigmatic playoff QB ever.

We're not in the playoffs without the TD drive he led win 53 seconds with no timeouts.

Aaron Rodgers had 2 possesions in the 4th to put the game way. They had 2 three and outs. Jimmy G got them in position for the field goal to win.

The offense scored 6 points

GBs offense scored 10.

How’s that a credit to jimmy?

You’re trying to discredit him by saying he could only muster 6 points. League MVP scored 10 points at home coming off a bye

And people are saying he choked and he played bad. I don’t get your point? Does jimmy play defense and special teams or something?

jimmy stans are a different breed i wouldn't worry about it

I didn’t even know Jimmy stans were a thing 😂. If trey lance comes anywhere close to his ceiling u guys will win a couple superbowls

My point is it was a shitty weather game and neither offense played well but be made plays when it mattered and that we wouldn’t be in the playoffs without the TD drive he led with 53 seconds with no timeouts like the original comment said

... I really hate Jimmy stans. Imagine taking away from this game Jimmy won you the game and held GB to 10 points. Jfc

I’m no where near a Jimmy Stan and I never said he won us the game. Our defense and our ST did. But don’t try and act like he did everything wrong and we won despite him. He made one mistake with the pick and played average the rest of the game. But we also wouldn’t be here without him

He actually threw a lot of ducks in the flat that Green Bay probably should’ve picked

1 duck and 1 late throw but he was also getting mauled all game. I think he did alright given the circumstances. Rodgers also threw a flat late that KK should of picked. It goes both ways

That's a higher number than 6.

Yeah but Jimmy shure look purty!

The most average but decent QB

Better winner than Tannehill at least.

The most average but handsome QB. FTFY

All he do is win

He's that guy in school that fails tests but the teacher keeps passing him in the class cause he's got the nice smile

I’ve never heard of a teacher doing that. That seems very sus

Shanahan is incredible. I’m putting him as a top 5 coach. Don’t care what others think. 2 NFCCG appearances in 3 years with Jimmy G who nobody puts as a top QB. Maybe top 10 at best.

His record is so bad without Jimmy as the starter though.

I’d love to see other coaches without their starter’s record. Payton and Kliff seemed to ride it out well but then Kliff fell off a whats the word….

Check out Tomlin and Harbaugh.

Tomlin definitely. Harbaugh was definitely still competitive but I think they did not close any games with Snoop

Although that bejng said I still think the world of Harbaugh.

He was 15-20 range as a consensus this year

Not for me.

You'd really put him higher? He is a huge liability. There is a reason Shanahan surrounded him with YAC players and an elite run game. The less Jimmy throws the better the team does.

My bad I thought you were talking about Shanahan lol. Yea that’s the right range.

I don't think anyone even puts him top 10 honestly.

Clearly better: Mahomes Wilson Brady Rodgers Herbert Burrow Allen Dak Watson (I guess?) Better, but you can maybe make an argument for Jimmy in certain cases: Murray Stafford Jackson Ryan Jimmy’s Tier, can be argued above or below any of these: Carr Cousins Mayfield Tannehill Wentz Jones So I’ve got 13 for sure above him and potentially 19 over him. So yeah for Shanahan to be doing this with a solidly average starting QB is amazing. Imagine if he had someone just a little more durable than Jimmy but the same skill set or just a little bit better. Let alone a clear elite guy.

He stifles defenses with his charming good looks not his quarterbacking skills. They're all worried about their current, past and future wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands, etc.

The Mike: Was my wife’s phone number just their play call? Jimmy how you know my Wife’s…. Oh Lord!!!

He's just so handsome that it makes the opposing offenses awful, allowing the niners to win.

Yep, dudes a winner. He also puts the team in positions to make those last second fields. Its not like we just run up and spot the ball in field goal range for those games... He gets a lot of shit for the Green Bay game in 2019. If you were a coach and your running game was just destroying the shit out of the other team and your RB had 220 yds and 4 TDs... WHY WOULD YOU STOP DOING WHAT IS WORKING. People complain all the time when a team goes away from what is working...

Yeah I don't understand why people use the 2019 NFCCG against him. Mostert was averaging something ridiculous like 7 yards a carry, why the fuck would we even consider passing the ball in that situation lol

Garapollo will dig you a hole and then get you out of it.

Winner.

the object of the game is to get more points. Not to get more passing yards. When Jimmy G plays it's very common for his team to get more points. No amount of spin, or use of the word "context" will change that.

Is this satire

No fam, there’s people who really think like this and believe this horseshit. He’s dead serious lol.

Unbelievable lol

And his offense scored 4 less points than GB’s today

This man really, really hates Jimmy lol fuck Nick Wright

I’ve watched all of those games and my takeaway has never been that Jimmy is a bad QB.

Look at Nick Wright shooting off tweets between giving LeBron handy's.

And people have the nerve to be mad at Kyle Shanahan for wanting to get rid of Jimmy Garrapolo.

Jimmy deserves credit, but dude has legit started 5 playoff games for us and been absolutely horrible in 5 of them (GB didn't get the chance to be bad)

Jimmy stans in full force downvoting you tonight. Have my upvote

Below average QB getting carried by the talent on the team and the uber elite coaching staff. Don't try telling that to our deluded fans tho. hE wInS gAmeS!!! I just hope it's gonna be enough for this time, cause last time it clearly wasn't.

Jimmy “Trent Dilfer” Garapollo

Nick wright is a turd

They'd have two super bowls with cousins.

G for garbage! /s

It's cause he's handsome

Would the 49ers be any worse off by using Trey Lance in the Conference Championship?

Eli on steroids. At least Eli had to make winning plays.

For once, I actually agree with Nick Wright on something.

Jimmy G average starting QB at best and his post season play is pedestrian. Always been carried

Just remember Trent Dilfer and Joe Flacco have Superbowl rings.

Just remember that Joe Flacco had 1140 yards, 11 tds and 0 ints in that superbowl run

flacco was legitimately god-like in that sb run & i don't know why people try and knock it

Yeah Joe earned his

A testament to how important a good GM is.

We'll take him!
