You can't just excuse him in all these choke jobs. It's his lack of overall preparation for these moments that kill him. You'll find execution problems on all SB teams, even the winners. That's not an excuse for choking to the magnitude Kyle has
So getting to a Super Bowl with a backup level QB is good coaching right? Half of you in here thought Jimmy was a legit starting QB. Some had him top 10 in the league lol.
how do you excuse all of Harbs choke jobs? Did nothing big lose when it matter when he was here.
As I said in this thread before...coaches don't choke away games. Players do that.
How coaches choke? They don't have players ready to play well. They make terrible coaching decisions mid game that lead to major issues or scheme disadvantages.
Harbaugh did ALL of those.
The team had 2 weeks to prepare for a lesser squad. We were the better team nearly across the board. We were made to create problems for that Ravens roster. We came out unprepared and took a huge deficit and got incredibly lucky that the Ravens momentum was stopped for us by the blackout. We were able to rally and get the game close and then Harbaugh in his stupid coaching method in the redzone called a timeout on the would be game leading TD play. He then took out our best player, the player gashing their defense - while the Ravens best run defender was NOT in the game and called 3 straight passes from a young QB.
I don't care what the score was, that's irrelevant. Coaching decisions and prep absolutely took down the talent we had in that game.
People may speculate if Kyle called more run plays in 2019 we'd win that game. Well Jimmy audibled out of some of them and also had plenty of plays available for him to complete - including the Sanders throw where it was open and he had plenty of time. That's a player not getting it done. Last year Purdy not throwing to Aiyuk after the 2 min warning to kill clock and hit the game winning FG. Burford not blocking Chis Jones, those are player errors. The scheme and the playcall had them setup for success on the play.
