Job number 1 of a QB, execute/run the offense.

I guess it's preference. If executing an offense (or scheme as you said it) then was Montana anything more than a game manager? What about Brady?
If your asking if I would take Wilson over Jimmy, it's not even a question. Wilson might be the best QB in the league.
And you're right, there are many variables that go into a QBs success. I think Jimmy is a talented Qb, but Kyle makes him better than he is. The space Kyle schemes for his TEs, WRs and RBs is pretty insane. Then you add in their yac ability. You probably saw the stat yesterday that we have the least yards per pass (6. Something), but the most after catch (6. Something). All that adds up to 13 plus yards a pass play, but a lot of it is by great design and yac.
And by sexy as fu** quick slant throws by Jimmy. This is his best throw and his throws give yac for Deebo and Sanders on those routes.
So Walsh made Montana better than he was and Montana was the GOAT. I'll take the shiznet all damn day. Montana and Brady were ELITE game managers who were the most clutch QBs of all time. If developing further into an elite, gun slinging game manager and elite in clutch moments are Jimmy's attributes I'll take that all day long and we are going to win a couple Super Bowls with him.
