Not to go down a completely different rabbit trail, however, it is worth keeping in mind that most QBs have lower performance levels in the playoffs because it is the playoffs and they are facing much better defenses than the Houston Texans put up. IIRC, Joe Montana, widely considered one of the best clutch performers ever, had a passer rating 12 points lower in the playoffs than in the regular season.

I'll just leave it at that.

Joe Montana regular season (SF): 93.5 QB rating

Joe Montana Playoffs (SF): 98.2 QB rating.

DJ how could you...

Including KC stats maybe? Still not sure if that does it.

The ideal situation as of right now IMO is Purdy playing solid to finish out the season - limiting the mistakes, converting third downs, getting the ball to the playmakers, getting points on the board - and this team keeps rolling and wins the division. Then, hopefully Jimmy comes back healthy by the start of the playoffs and the QB room will be that much stronger. And at that point, in Shanahan I trust regarding any QB decisions.

I know I'm dreaming but I'm hoping this is our "Brady" situation - where Purdy defies all odds and ends up being this all time great and FQB. Hahah until he shows otherwise, I'll dream.

I like that dream! Really hoping he can step up to these upcoming challenges vs. the Bucs, at Seattle, and vs. Wash to keep the team rolling and keep building his confidence.

If Purdy plays like he did vs MIA the rest of the way and we go 4-1 to end the year, I want Purdy in the playoffs.

Jimmy can back his ass up if he is healthy by the divisional round and be insurance. The Jimmy postseason movie blows huge chunks. Let's see if Purdy can take the main role from a mediocre performer when it really matters.

If Purdy plays below Jimmy level and starts throwing oh no picks like Jimmy does while we still win games going into the playoffs then sure put Jimmy in vs the Vikings I'm the divisional.

Playoffs is tougher against tough teams. Do you win the teams and go deep into the playoffs? Jimmy G does.

With this team last year and this year Jimmy should be winning Super Bowls not making deep playoff runs and on the back of his defense and run game.

He's a good qb but is also a postseason liability plain and simple.

Does anyone know if this injury could heal quicker like 5-6 weeks?

I disagree. I think it's obvious exactly what you and NYniner85 are doing.

Not great news from Kyle. At the podium now.

Kyle Shanahan says that there's a "way outside chance" of Jimmy Garoppolo returning in the playoffs since there's no Lisfranc injury
