Originally posted by JTB1974:Why do people act like the Niners never had great QB's?? We had Montana and Young, two of the all-time greats. Montana has 4 SB rings, and Steve Young has the same amount as Wilson. Wilson can put up all the stats he wants but won't mean a thing if his team doesn't win the SB.
I do agree with you and I'm one who would rather see the 9ers not even get to the SB, IF, I knew they weren't going to win it. I was ticked for 2 months after last years.haha
But I can answer your question about QB's in 1 word: Jealousy.
You know how many SB rings we would have if RW or Mahommes or Arod, (maybe Watson, Big Ben) was the QB? Most likely at least 2 more in the past 8 years, last year's and Harbaughs SB.
We have had some great QB's but unless Montana or Young are coming out of retirement and return to form it's not helping the current team.
Every team in the NFL searches for a Mahommes or RW just like SF was lucky, or skilled enough, to acquire Montana & Young.
Anyone have doubts if RW, Arod,Mahommes was our QB in the last SB that we would have won, or Harbaughs SB?
I'm not ready to dump JG, even though he went to the SB last year he is limited in full seasons of play and still learning. He may or may not be the long term answer but he does have some type of issues right now be it the knee, bad blocking by o-line isn't helping for sure, mechanics,practice time, or all the above.
There's 32 teams and only 2-3 superstar QBs that can have the coach hold his beer and say,I'll be back in a few minutes.
Just not enough SS QB's to go around for 32 teams. But every team is always looking to upgrade at every position if the $ works, whether it's CB,S,QB,DE, OL etc.
