Crazy talk really. Jimmy is so much better than Mullens it is a ridiculous debate to have. Jimmy might not be on Josh Allen tier level but I certainly would rather have him in a game against that type of QB than little Nicky.
Has he turned back to a pumpkin yet?
I think both Jimmy and Mullens are not good but if you think Mullens was at all the issue yesterday, you watched a different game. Jimmy wouldnt have done anything differently.

I believe most people know Jimmy Is better than Nick. The only ones who think otherwise are most likely trolling.

With that being said, the Niners still need a better QB If they Intend to win the super bowl In the near future.

Mullens absolutely terrified me yesterday. If the first read isnt there, this guy turns into an randomized spastic decision machine. Its scary. He guesses without seeing. The results are white knuckle stuff. No composure or instinct under pressure. Part of that is the line is hideous in pass pro. No argument there. But damn. No idea how he got here. I dont remember this 2 years ago.

I'm not trolling. To me they bring different stuff to the table.

IMO JG needs the running game working in order to get chunk plays down the field and those plays are usually schemed open due to the running game.

If the running game isn't working we struggle to move ball consistently. Yes, there was the NO game and 2 ARI games last year.... cool for him. But everything is short of over the middle.

Mullens does miss some layups and almost always turn te ball over once in te redzone. But those turnovers aren't even possible with JG. Because we aren't moving te ball as often to get i to the red one to turn it over.

Mullens isn't afraid to give his guys a chance on the outside. Therein lies the rub. The turnovers are being scrutinized more than the inability to move the ball.

IMO The ones who dislike Mullens are the ones in the bottom line business. You see the turnovers and you see the end result and the blame automatically goes to Mullens. If Nick Mullens was given the #2 ranked rushing attack and #2/3 ranked defense with his ability to push the ball deeper and give his guys a chance to make a play i would feel confident.

That said, I agree neither are capable of carrying a team. But I would love to see Nick with a dominant run game

Ooof 🤦‍♂️
How many passes did Mullens throw behind his receivers. A competent QB would've kept us close. The announcers kept praising him for his football IQ. This guy will never be a starting QB in this league. He's short, immobile and has no arm but he has a high football IQ.

his long throw was nice, I will say.
Even his long throw Aiyuk had to turn around and make an adjustment. Then his ass throws late who was intended for Bourne but because it was late it looked behind to Reed. Then his damn throws behind the wrs and that damn pick in the rz if he threw it in front of his man it doesn't get picked at worst gets deflected. Mullens isn't good at all, he shows a flash but goes back to being trash. Mullens is only decent for a game or 2 or coming in during an injury.

I won't even get to the embarrassing false start on that pathetic sneak attempt, I don't think I've ever seen that. The only way we had a chance last night was a shoot out and if some here thought that was capable with Mullens were going to be highly disappointed. I roll my eyes everytime Mullens gets all pissed off because his ass threw a dumb ass pick or threw an inaccurate pass as if he was good that those passes by him are rare.

I don't dislike Mullens the person, just his game. I've been to the point I rather see CJ in there and that's just being desperate at this point but I've always thought he had a higher upside

LOOK, it's really time to admit that Mullen can not lead a team ALL SEASON... he's just not THAT QB.. he may be a good or even a solid backup, IF he has to take over a game or two...

but to say that he can be the QB for even half a season and expect to maintain a winning season, NO.

That's fine and all, hes still better than Jimmy.

Dude pass over whatever you are smoking....... One qb makes others better, the other qb is a one read qb who cannot read defesnes or pick up the blitz.

Ironically enough, you're actually talking about Jimmy.

There should be a separate forum for people who know and understand football and for people who just say "YEAHHH GO 9ERS GO GET POINTS BAAABY".

You don't understand football if you think Mullens is better than Jimmy lol.
I will say the one deep pass to Aiyuk for about 50 was a beautiful throw right on the money. Everything else was hit & miss.

Ya, they hit the lottery. You can't win if you don't play. For whatever reason, we don't see many of those types of throws. It's almost like Kyle wants his guys to have a high completion % and doesn't want to throw deep because they are low %. No question they are but there is also a high reward. The Niners have been fortunate the last couple of years because their D has kept them in the game. Last night was an example of why you need a guy that can make the big play more than once in awhile. They were forced to get yards in big chunks and they aren't equipped to do that very well. That one big pass momentarily got them within striking range. Unfortunately, I was never confident that Mullens could do it again.
