"Appeal to authority is a common type of fallacy, or an argument based on unsound logic.

When writers or speakers use appeal to authority, they are claiming that something must be true because it is believed by someone who said to be an "authority" on the subject."

🤣🤣 dude, if we went around posting articles about logical fallacies in debate, then every other post would be a link.

The appeal to authority is only considered a fallacy when there is NO evidence or as the establishment evidence but is perfectly fine when used as corraborative or counter-point.

For example: if I claim that you are part of the cult of ommamu based off the opinion of a specialist in cults, that is a logical fallacy.

If I show evidence that you are part of the cult of ommamu you dispute the interpretation of that evidence and then I cite an expert on cult behavior, that isn't a logical fallacy.

There has been plenty of evidence either way. The issue is fans saying they are "more knowledgeable" about the situation cause they "watch the games" doesn't mean anything.

I can watch an autopsy, that doesn't mean I know more than the medical examiner.

You didn't provide any evidence in your post. You just named others and suggested that others should submit to them. Nothing was presented.

It's the "herd mentality" thing some like me always tend to reject. There's nothing wrong with making a point and citing those that agree with it (if they do).

Are we really saying that after 7200 pages and over 100k posts that there's been, "no evidence"?

If that wasnt clear, maybe I just hit you in the shoulder pad with the post.

Their last two drives are a big reason.

Are we seriously giving Jimmy credit for the win against the Packers?

Yes, that fantastic drive and thoroughly outplaying Rodgers in the elements when it mattered most deserves praise.

Great defense, STs touchdown, clutch last minute drive.
My point with the question I asked, which you failed to answer, is that did Goff suddenly forget how to be a winning QB?

It would be absurd to say that a qb winning is all because of the qb. Joe Montana played with HOF guys on both sides of the ball, same with Steve.

Dan Marino was unbelievable and never had a great team around him. Trent Dilfer was a backup quality qb on an unbelievable team.

The thing is, though, Dilfer never had a winning % anywhere close to Jimmy. Marino never had a team like Jimmy has.

But for people to act like he's the problem, not part of a solution(which we're still winning, so we've got a solution right now) is weird.

Doesn't make sense, at this point.

You'd have to believe that Kyle and John are the greatest HC and GM duo that has ever existed in the history of football to win like they have with Jimmy, to do it in spite of him.

Montana did win 2 SBs without Rice, Taylor, and Jones.

I have criticized Jimmy for being a limited QB in terms of ability, but I won't doubt his ability to sack up and play well in high pressure situations. He is a part of the winning recipe that the 49ers have, but he is not the main ingredient. I don't think anyone is saying he is, just putting my opinion out there.

Why is Jared Goff losing so much now, and Matt Stafford is winning so much?

Their opinions are more informed than others.
Did Joe Montana win 4 Super Bowls?

I think so but many here are arguing that he did not.

This is coming from someone who believes #10 holds us back, but I find it pretty funny people kill Aaron Rodgers for not winning enough meaningful games, but use the W/L record to discredit #10.

No

You are correct. Goff's team is trash in DET. That's what changed.
as grateful as I was when we had Jeff Garcia taking us to the playoffs twice, he is still the same weirdo pining for doughnuts in the middle of the game, so forgive me if I can't take him seriously

There's actually a legit chance Jimmy becomes a Superbowl MVP, and the thought of trading him at that point would seem really weird.

Cant technically count as a drop if it only hits his trailing shoulder pad. I always learned that you drop things with your hands.

Get more of those balls in front of him or we're just gonna have ta say "eff it" and draft a young kid for the position.

But just helping you on how logic works so maybe we can get rid of that poisonous "stop thinking and listen" preaching we get here from time to time. Waterbear is correct,...it's logically flawed.

New subject time.
