Nevermind that he's on the tail end of his career especially with his rich injury history. A healthy Jimmy has had nothing but success. We won A LOT of games with Jimmy. Hell before you were a fan, Shanny was flat out garbage before Jimmy came and he helped turn this franchise around. Mind you he also got a lot of help. Jimmy was definitely part of it though
Now he's in a good place behind your closet Stan Crush Stafford. He'll get another chance I'm guessing. If for the Rams he can suck it.
Stafford's just been a better, more accomplished QB. No crush involved.
Since you want to obsess over team accomplishments that Jimmy was carried to by the Patriots and 49ers,..how about a 3rd party for added context?
Key takeaways:
1) Jimmy has 2 Rings,...Stafford has 1,...
Dan Marino has none,...but Dan Marino is light years better than both of these QBs, career-wise, and it really isint even close. The Patriots carried him to 2 rings,...and the 49ers carried him to the SB. Just watch the games.
2) Marino's numbers are way ahead, even in a different era of football that was heavily run-dominant.
3) Both Stafford and Marino were 1st Rounders, while Jimmy flirted with being a 3rd rounder. So from their collegiate careers, NO ONE has ever thought that Jimmy would compare to the other 2 QBs above. Not before his draft,...not after his draft....not EVER.
Only people with this extremely weird, cringeworthy attraction to Jimmy Garoppolo (mostly women?) will say or suggest such.
4) Stafford and Marino were NEVER reserve QBs,...while Jimmy has been a reserve QB for pretty much half of his career. See the red arrow, please.
5) I wont even get into the numbers. Even so,...the numbers aren't everything, but putting the Checkdown King on the same field of either of these guys is just plain laughable. Just look at them. Dude doesn't even have 100 TDs yet.
6) Me telling you the truth about team accomplishments and players like Dan Marino does not make me a Marino stan, homer, or anything else. It's just me objectively telling you the truth.
I hope I've covered all the bases? If you have any objective,...legitimate response,...we're all waiting.
