Alright, Alright,...looks like I'm gonna have to FORCE this 3rd down issue back towards the select few that do nothing but highlight it over, and over, and over again, suggesting it was some great feat and/or a clear sign of a very, very good QB.
Until legit analytics are brought to the table, you're just very very determined to have this 3rd down stat make the whole argument for you, instead of the eye test everyone had that suggests you're maybe overdoing it. So let's look at 3rd and longs....

What do you mean? You had one of the best in the NFL in 2017 on 3rd and longs too!! A couple clues tho,...he's STILL on the team, and his name's not Garoppolo.
Here is Jimmy's banner year of 2019 but look at who else is on the list floating around.
Some have said "I cant wait till Garoppolo gets back to his 3rd down magic" but look who's "killing it" in 2020,...I guess....
(p.s.,...wasn't the guy who's #2 benched for Alex Smith?)
I guess Haskins has arrived, and Jimmy has been dominant this year -- even amid all of our complaining?
As I said to Sky,...what was he longing for talking about "finally!" for last year??? Oh please.... He had it in 2017 right here in Santa Clara with this guy....
And lastly,...2018's top All-Pro,....the
TRUE KING of 3rd and Longs for a season,...of the last 4 seasons! The only guy to hit @ 50%!!! Guess who?
Lol that's right!!
Famous Jameis (while Drew Brees and Mullens were notted up at 10th,...lol)!!! 50%....f**k! Why don't we trade for him now??
Look guys,...Look. There are laughers all over this list when we sit and evaluate things,....
which tells me 1 thing: It's far,....FAR too low of a threshold to correlate to anything worthwhile,...especially on its on, like you keep attempting to do. With great QBs bottoming out and near-nobodies Top 10 if not leading the stat altogether, it's just a horribly, horribly inconsistent barometer where everyone but the other-wordly pine rider that's now in his prime -- Jameis Winston -- was under 50%.
Obscure stats are truly meant to be put together with legit evidence and looked at. PLEASE,...I beg of you...stop using this stat to build your case. The data above says you gotta find something else.
