Sorry man, not interested in this strange psychobabble nonsense. I'm sure there is a mental health thread in the Parking Lot if you're into this sort of thing. For those of us who kept this about football, this thread has been no problem. The issue came from a small group of very loud anti-Jimmy posters who refused to give him any credit, and blamed every single negative outcome on him. Even drops by WR's were blamed on Jimmy, because the ball wasn't placed perfectly. Those are the types of posts that became insufferable.
What's funny is those same posters went on and on about how they couldn't wait for Jimmy to be gone and this thread out of Niner Talk. They would be "free" from this entire discussion. Yet those same posters are still in here. Which is fine, everyone is welcome. That hypocrisy though.
There will always be haters, that's a part of life. I mean imagine thinking that a QB who's being paid as the 17th highest in the league, who missed half the season due to injury, and has missed almost half of his games the past 5 seasons - is being paid a "serviceable" QB? $34M to $45M (I've seen both) guaranteed. That's far beyond serviceable, a backup, a bag of chips. I'm sorry that Jimmy's professional success on the field and in his bank account continues to upset you, but this is reality. He's not perfect, he's not a HOFer, but he's a damn good QB and teams wanted him as their starter. Let's see how he does.
And anotha one
