No really Steve? Jimmy is not a probowl or HOF QB like you Steve 🤣 he's greatly limited as a passer.
I mean, did Danny Gray even see the field vs the Chargers? 🤣
Though not elite, Garoppolo is not "greatly limited as a passer." This season he has proven he can through it deep and outside the numbers. Many have observed this and considered it is because he is fully healthy. He also has one of the fastest setups and releases of anyone in the league. This has been a major asset with an OL that is still learning to play together. That is all part of being an effective passer in this league.
As to Danny Gray, it isn't his fault that he has not learned to run all the assignments he needs to know in order to see more of the field. Shanahan has said that specifically. As it is now, if Gray were to come into the game, the defense would know immediately a deep pass is coming and cover it. It isn't Jimmy's fault Gray is a rookie still learning to play the game. Shanahan is well-known for preferring vets over rookies. I expect to see more of Gray as the season progresses. In the meantime, we wait.
