You're all over the place. I responded to you because you said that "there's a difference between hate and criticism. Unfortunately too many people can't tell the difference." And now you're going on and on about why it's okay for fans to be emotional and hate players when their teams don't win it all; especially teams like the 49ers and Patriots.
Whether one thinks it's justified or not, it is CLEAR that 49ers fans have a VERY high standard for QB play. Anything short of Joe Montana or Steve Young, and certain fans trash the QB. You say "that's just the way it is." Well yes, some human beings are overly emotional, never grow out of adolescent thought processes, and make illogical decisions in all facets of their lives (so sports is no different). That still doesn't justify hateful rhetoric nor does it qualify as "criticism" as you and others try and put it.
We're simply calling a spade a spade - there ARE fans who literally hate Jimmy and fans who are haters (the slang version) of Jimmy. There is no need to defend them, they come in daily and do it themselves. And they will continue to do so, even though they say they don't like Jimmy and couldn't wait for him to be gone and this thread out of Niner Talk. The hypocrisy is comedic at this point.
Just like in the Trey thread. Yet no Furlow posts.
Haha...the hiding post-trade is epic. Feelings all over the place but no one here hates or hated Jimmy.
Although many here hated the fact that posters like him made the thread uncivil when posters simply shared alternative opinions of him. It's far too late in the game to play the good cop all of a sudden. No one's falling for it.
And then we have "For all the success he's had" someone else said above. Honestly? I saw a team that had plenty of success,....I didn't see a QB that had the same. On the field he's a guy that got by doing his job.
Every offseason, danced to the beat of his drum with contract-in-hand, no matter how much it may have drove KS crazy. What if he had gave more effort while in the building one of those offseasons? Who knows.
The negatives balanced out with the superlatives to make an average NFL QB,... and one that was woefully below average come playoff time. This is what the market chose to pay him as after even his best season.
"Simply shared alternative opinions of him." I suppose blaming Jimmy for clear drops by WR's could be skewed as an "alternative opinion." To me and most, those are clearly hateful statements only intended to incite and troll. Same with saying he's only a backup, not worth a bag of chips, etc.
You've finally came out of hiding,....welcome aboard.
And yes,....this thread was extremely hostile with timeouts and temporary bannings for posters that simply held their ground (since our the 1st SB run) that -- surrounded by a good team -- he wasn't the answer, and was being overrated by our fans.
And although it's been proven before in multiple ways that this was the case,....we finally have definitive proof of such from all 32 teams: you were wrong all along.
You said he's better/equal to Carr and he'd easily get more money than Geno, but even given the help of Geo not being able to hit the open market, that didn't happen.
In the NFL starter category -- even after his best season and in his prime -- he's average.
Serviceable,....not at all a difference maker, but give him a good defense and the right pieces and so long as we're not talking playoff performance, you've got a chance at a great season.
Lol remember when you were saying that win/losses are not on a QB but insisted QBR was made to judge a QBs impact. Then when it was pointed out that Jimmy had one of the best you moved the goalposts?
He is the KING of moving goal posts.
