And this... I forgot the mention that. One of the best backs in the league and YAC says he didn't have anything.
Imagine the aneurysm YAC would have if this was Jimmy. It's flat out hypocrisy. And I'm not saying Jimmy doesn't have these interception but YAC is a hypocrite the way he judges one guy to the next. I personally see him and Cousins very similar as far as QB impact. In the 12-15 range
Kirk makes these throws they possibly win. He does this constantly in big games. He hardly ever plays good against winning teams. I think many people just look at the stats instead of actually watch him. He's a good QB that struggles with good teams. There's is no denying that.
Like Jimmy he's a good QB most of the tome that can be excellent at times but also downright garbage at times. They are a lot alike in the area of inconsistency.
I don't diagree with any of this. Which is why I believe you completely missed my original point. Or perhaps it was the "if not more than it has been with Jimmy" part of my point that triggered you. If that is the case, I am sorry but Kirk has an arm that can keep defenses from stacking the box and crowding the LOS. Of course Shanahan would have a high risk adverse level with Kirk as he does with Jimmy because I agree that they are both inconsistent.
I was also defending Shanahan in that argument because I believe he could have been just as successful with Kirk as he has been with Jimmy. Jimmy is great when the run game is on but when its not, we need far more passes that aren't short to medium and in the middle of the field. Is it a Jimmy thing or is it a Shanahan thing? Imo, its a trust thing.
Jimmy did seem fired up after the game talking about winging it. He probably meant to say slinging it. Because he had some opportunities to throw the ball deep and outside which is not something we see a whole lot of with Jimmy. He tends to under throw them. He did have a good throw to Aiyuk that Aiyuk dropped. The other three were severly under thrown. Thank god for DB's that don't turn and look for the ball in coverage. Defenses are too damn good in the playoffs to consistently get 30-40 rushes a game. You need that deep ball to keep them on their heels. Imo, that deep ball needs to be a lot more consistent if we want to win #6.
