Of your 15 QB's , 6 have led their team to the superbowl. The others haven't been able to get there. JG led the Niners there LAST YEAR. You're NOT a QB coach, yet you seem to think you are as capable of evaluating the play at the position as the guys WHO GET PAID to do the job. Hahaha. You also very conveniently ignore everything that JG does so very well. As for your claim that he's 'just average'' I have a thought. Remember that game last year when the team traveled to NO for a game that was critical in deciding home field advantage in the playoffs? Remember that barely friggn' average QB led the team to a hard fought late game winning TD in that hostile environment? An average QB doesn't win that game, bud. I've been going to Niner games since YA Tittle was the starting QB. I've watched a lot of football and played ball in school until I got hurt. JG is a very good QB. 2/3 of the guys you mention haven't done squat compared to the limited run Jimmy has had. He's a winner. period.
Smh. How many of those guys had the no.2 defense and running game, and Kyle calling plays? You realize that season the 49ers were 29th in passing attempts but 18th in interceptions, right? Garoppolo didn't lead the team to the Super Bowl. He GAME MANAGED the team to the Super Bowl, with the exception of about 10 quarters, give or take, where he was the hero.
PS - Many starting QBs in the league have a great game where they look like the second coming.
