Tell me how else the whole ankle situation became a thing, speaking in this thread, that's what I originally commented on? People question the severity of it, myself included and I think even the coaching staff questioned it towards the end of the season when he was cleared to play and didn't. Others battled back from injuries as well and even though we "had nothing to play for" they still did for their teammates.

Where was it ever said he was cleared to play the final three weeks of the season? These are the kinds of things that lead to 'hater' labels. Making up their own news to justify speaking ill of a player.

There was speculation that he could have played, which I was fine with, because if he had played we probably could have ruined our chances of trading up for Trey.

who's his #1 WR? a slot WR with one yr of 1K yards and one season with double-digit TDs? He's got two good WRs no doubt. IMO the scheme helps everyone on that team just like in SF.
Where was it ever said??? It was CBS! Now wipe the egg off your face. That said, if the 49ers somehow have a shot at making their Week 17 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks one that could push them into the tournament, it's possible head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch consider letting Garoppolo take the field. Kittle and Jimmy were both cleared but Jimmy didn't want to play and Kittle did.

Jimmy's lack of incentive and motivation will stick out like a sore thumb when he and Lance face in preseason...

Injuries again, huh? If it's not his own injuries we excuse him from,...it's when other players are injured that we excuse his play from as well. This is even after you talked about how phenomenal he was while lacking talent with the Patriots. The talent he has around him only matters out of convenience.

Not at all, it just shows he CAN do it but not all the time. Just like any solid or great Qb. Goff is not in that category, never could. He was horrendous his first year and the way he turned over the ball the last 2 years is ABSOLUTELY INEXCUSABLE, with a healthy and dominant team. Don't take my word for it, check out McVay's words and actions. Jimmy was never that embarrassing and awful. It took Jimmy with a high ankle sprain and a s**t ton of injuries to even look like Goff. Now that's sad.

Anyways, I proved my point. I love that McVay saw the same and I even felt bad for rams fans. Watching Goff regress and turn the ball over like it's Christmas was the reason our backups beat them twice. I'm grateful for you Goff....and of course for saying that you'd bang McVays girl

Except Jimmy has done it for one season though, he's had one decent year throughout his career thus far which Is a small sample size and I believe that's why both, McVay and Shanny both decided to upgrade the QB position, they wasn't content with settling for average/slightly above average play from the most crucial position In football.

When SF was forced to finish their season in AZ, SF's beat reporters couldn't go there...so the guys "covering" the team were basically AZ guys. There was videos thrown out there from one of those guys of Jimmy being cleared to practice and going through drills that in no shape or form would you be able to do with a legit high ankle sprain.

It's really not that far fetched to say both sides shut down Jimmy for the year even though he could have played...SF wasn't gonna have another Kap situation where if he get's hurt, needs surgery, they're then on the hook no matter what in 2021... Jimmy's agent probably didn't want him to get hurt not knowing what his future was past last season either.

Is what it is.

Goff, Leading the league over the past two years in turnovers which includes interceptions and fumbles is laughable on such a stacked and loaded offense and great defense. As everyone that knows about football understands, TURNOVERS is the number one determining factor of wins and losses in this league, nothing else is close. Goff was probably the only reason the Rams lost so many games as they did. Where as Jimmy's injuries was probably the biggest determining factor of how the Niners lost their games not his play on the field when healthy. That is the main difference between these two quarterbacks and it's a big one. Let's not pretend that isn't the most important factor in all of football and Goff was the WORST at it. No sugarcoating it, No justifying it, no apologies for it, no spinning it. It's plain as day

We already went through this…Jimmy has a higher int % then Goff….JG is not even remotely close in passing attempts which gives more opportunities for fumbles/TOs. Jimmy in his only full season had 10 fumbles as well…when you're 20th in passing attempts, one of the lowest QBs in air yards AND highest in INT% that's an issue.

Your assuming yet again Jimmy would have more turnovers which in not a correct assumption. It depends on factors like wether we play a great defensive opponent and if we have the lead which we usually did we are running the ball, the flow of the games, our offensive line protection from game to game and so on. What a novel idea? Guess you missed that whole concept. More attempts don't always equate to that same rate of turnovers. Oh my so many factors determine that. Also, Jimmy was playing with a less talented and less healthy team. You can't extrapolate and assume Jimmy would have more turnovers at that rate. What we DO KNOW FOR SURE is Goff had a better and healthier team around him since Jimmy G got to SF and was embarrassing bad the last 2 years with his turnovers. Like Christmas time for Defenses. Kinlaw says hi too Jimmy was not an embarrassment like Goff was the last 2 years with those TO's. He lost games and his own coach was pissed. Check some postgame comments by McVay, totally called out Goff for good reason. Also, we have seen Goff play like an absolute bust before McVay and Jimmy played (and WON) so much better with a very average team in 2017. Jimmy was never that horrible. I know it's hard for you to admit but it's cool.

Jimmy Garoppolo didn't look like himself Sunday as he returned from a high ankle sprain.

Even despite being cleared to play and practicing several times this week, Garoppolo clearly was not comfortable on the field at Levi's Stadium against the Dolphins.

I think people assume he re-injured it at some point (which he could have)…. Towards the end of the year he was cleared to practice again and there's video out there of him doing that.

Is what it is, I wouldn't be shocked if both sides agreed to shut it down for the year, even if he could have played.

Yes, both sides more than likely agreed it wasn't worthwhile for him to take the risk of being injured in games that were meaningless. I highly doubt Kyle wanted him to play and Jimmy refused.

Who knows....over now and they spent up for his replacement. I'll root for whomever is throwing TDs my debate has been more about what's best for the team long-term and that there wouldn't be that much of a difference between playing Jimmy or Lance this yr. BUT that's just an opinion
Originally posted by NYniner85:
Dude it's a massively flawed argument on your part because one actually played football and threw the ball WAY more. It's logical to assume TOs happen. Same with every thing else. Goff has 98TD the past 4 yrs, Jimmy 46. I'm not saying Goff is great, I'm saying his situation and who he is as a QB is damn similar to Jimmy.

INT% gives you a clearer picture and Jimmy blows there. His only full season he had 10 fumbles all the same. You can not objectively tell me Jimmy doesn't turn the ball over because he does.

Goff had injured lineman, lost receivers, lost top end RBs all the same. Jimmy wasn't subject to some bad team like ya'll are trying to say….It's straw man arguments all over the place with Jimmy.

I know it's hard for 49er fans to admit it but it's the truth overall.

Nah dude your arguments are not only flawed but seem very biased. Listing your opinions and trying to pass them off as facts while at the same time trying to equate Jimmy to Goff is not great to say the least. Saying Goff has had injuries just the same???? Flat out not true. Sorry you just can't admit that your argument is wrong in that regard and you're assuming and extrapolating turnovers instead of just admitting that Goff was the worst quarterback the last two years at turning the ball over. Done! You cannot assume he would have turnovers at that same rate especially with a healthier team and a better team at that going forward. That is just absolutely ridiculous. Nobody last year said baker Mayfield or Tom Brady would have the same season they had in 2019 as they did in 2020 and neither did. Sorry, Such a bad argument. You cannot assume the turnovers would stay the same because there are too many variables like the teams they play against or the game flow or their team getting healthy or getting better players the following year or even the following games. Come on.

It's not hard to admit it. It's OK to live in denial but to go this far and not admit it is very stubborn imo. I know you've been called out by many people here and it seems the more and more you press on this issue the more biased you look. You're trying to push your agenda which is fine because nobody's saying Jimmy is great but nobody's also saying he is horrible. Horrible like Jared Goff has been turning the ball over and costing his team dearly.

The fact that you are even implying and defending such a weak and flawed argument saying Goff has dealt with even close to the same injuries as Jimmy as well as the overall team health is a straight up fabrication. The Rams have IN FACT been way healthier in the past couple years than the 49ers. Just admit it man. It's not that hard, the whole world knows it, the Rams have been one of the healthiest teams and the Niners haven't. That affected Jimmy Garoppolo a lot more than Jared Goff however Goff has done worse with a much better and healthier team around him. Admit that. The niners haven't been able to field their talent due to the myriad of injuries which does in fact effect performance.

Also, we have seen that after Jimmy turns the ball over he becomes very surgical and super efficient. Something Jared Goff has rarely ever done. He collapses, he buckles under pressure and was a laughing stock with his coach throwing him under the bus which was very deserving. Can you at least admit that?

Anyways Jared Goff is already gone and will probably do s**tty and turn the ball over like always in Detroit and Jimmy will be gone next year so I don't think they're similar but oh well.

I'm pretty sure you're right. Either way I'm glad Jimmy didn't play because he would've risked further injury and the silver lining is we got a better draft position which in turn we had to give up less to move up to number 3 from number 12. I guess that's a positive. I also am thankful we got Bosa as a result of his injury. Jimmy will be gone next year so thanks for helping piling up the wins when you were healthy. It's Treys turn very soon

Dude you're cherry picking a stat and literally disregarding the structure of how that data comes about. I can't take the TO thing serious when you can't even accept how the data comes about & not even looking at INT % which does factor passing attempts. When Jimmy has ONE full season of data and was fumbling the ball all over the place that's just as much a problem. When he's throwing INTs at a HIGHER rate (his whole career) all while being bottom of the league in passing attempts and one of the lowest air yard numbers in the freaking league, that's a f**king issue dude! There should be no excuse or BS straw man argument about that, It's a problem plain and simple.

Has Goff not lost a MVP caliber RB? Did he not lose his #1 WR to an ACL? Who the hell was his TEs? At one point in 2019 every single offensive linemen was hurt
The 'next' for the LA Rams was the 2019 performance of a badly outgunned, battered, and bruised offensive line. In 2019, the Rams offensive line fell off a cliff, landing as the 31st-ranked offensive line in the NFL. Injuries decimated the ranks, with all five starters getting either bench time due to injury, or getting post-season surgery to clean up nagging ailments. Some players even faced both. That plunge from greatness to anonymity did not sit well with the players but was not easily forgotten by the fans

They also lost their starting center in Josh Sullivan AND their stud LG in Rodger Saffold (got paid to play for Titans). Look if you just don't pay attention to other teams and what they deal with too, just say that. Would make way more sense.

You're making it way too personal and looking at it as a 49er fan. You grab one meaningless stat and totally disregard how that data comes about and poo poo something like INT % if you can't agree that a QB that lead the league in passing attempts MIGHT have more total TOs then a guy that was bottom of the league in passing attempts, well then this convo is done.

It's a pointless debate, you either think they're similar QBs that have similar skill sets and have been put in similar situations OR you don't...throwing out some bogus thing like fumbles to backup a take is weak at most.

Yeah I'm not seeing anything there either ....WZ posted an article (and video clips) when he was cleared to practice back towards the end of last season.
