Curious what your trying to get across in your posts?
That Mullen's is better then jimmy?
You'd rather have Mullen's starting over jimmy?
I just don't want to assume so I'm asking because as much as I like Mullen's, and I think Mullen's can progress even more, jimmy has shown more to me and I feel he is better at this point in time then Mullen's and I feel jimmy has a lot of room to improve which would be scary.
I know we are way past the five 2017 games that jimmy played but I've just watched them again and it's pretty amazing how he was processing the defenses during that stretch. He was directing where the receiver/TE should be on there route telling how the DB will react during some sideline video/audio.
Yes. If Mullens is playing for any substantial length of time, the season outlook goes back to last year - maybe a bit better, but definitely not a playoff contender.
If Jimmy is healthy and can replicate the same standard of performance, we are a playoff contender. He very well may be better, considering the time off, knowledge of the offense, and generally better players around him.
I concur with an earlier comment that this year is a make or break for him. He needs to show he can do it, and the opportunity ahead of him is ideal for it.
I don't think this is a make or break year for Jimmy. When he struggles with game to game consistency, I'm not closing the book on him or label him as an inconsistent QB. He's very young in QB experience. He's going to, not might, but going to struggle from time to time as he plays in different game situations, against different DCs. After 10 official starts, two of which he didn't finish, he still has a lot to learn and the only way he'll learn is to actually play and not watch film with Mike Shanahan from the all22 view. I myself can read defenses from the all22 and know where to throw the ball. It's so much easier that way than facing live bullets from behind the offensive line.
This year, 2019 was supposed to be the year Jimmy would BALL according to Kyle.....
Hopefully 2019 he has a good season and 2020 he balls out. Of course I don't mind him killing it this year, but I would probably temper expectations where Jimmy G is a good to very good QB this year, and eventually will become fully elite like many of us are hoping for.
I'll say this:
Just reading what was said about Jimmy from Sherman and McGlinchey......Sherman to my knowledge never praised Wilson, and had that lovely moment of "you f**kING SUCK". McGlinchey speaking on behalf of the team saying "we think he's as good as anybody in the league".....
Did we ever hear this stuff with Smith, Kaepernick?
Remember the fuss when Gore glamorized Andrew Luck when he joined the Colts?
I've had many ups and downs in my life to the point now where I can be optimistic about stuff in the long term but often deep down don't believe it when it's rubber meets the road in the present. This Jimmy G thing is sorta in similar territotry, but with football I actually believe our guys are the s**** when I have real faith in them.
I think enough has been discussed how Jimmy did a lot in 2017 and how he might have had help, but nobody likes to acknowledge the Shanahan offense not exactly being easy to pick up. Let's see what he can do in 2019 and 2020 before declaring anything with 95% certainty.
Because we've seen him make throws and manipulate defenses in ways we haven't with recent QBs, I'd very much like to believe that stuff is REAL and will take any doubts whatsoever 500 times over having that "knowing" feeling that winning an SB with Smith or Kap was gonna need lots of things to go right.
You want Alex Smith consistency like he's been since 2011 with the near guaranteed non SB appearance? Would any of you trade that for the unknown quantity known as Jimmy Garoppolo?
Have some f**** courage and BELIEVE!!!!!
