"I love Jimmy G," Sanders said on NFL Network's Good Morning Football. "This is a guy that I remember, going into games, I used to play with so much confidence because I knew that this guy is a winner. You go back and look at his win percentage, his win percentage is ridiculous. He's a natural-born winner. The moment he got to San Francisco, he started winning"
Dude just wins and garbage fans literally hate everything about Jimmy, just like they did Steve, just like they did Alex, just like they did Kap, just like Jimmy just like they 100% will Trey in a year or two. Find me another fanbase that hates winning QBs like our fans do and id be surprised. Every good QB basically this fanbase turns on.
You're completely misunderstanding most of the posts you are seeing.
There isn't much hate for Jimmy. What is there is this: an understanding that he's somewhere near the middle of the pack in NFL starters—which is a great thing to have for the teams that don't have an elite QB—but the 49ers also have a very talented QB on the roster right now who may develop into that top tier. Then, you have the fact that he'd cost 27 million to remain on the team. In addition, several superstars are nearing extension time. At that point, it becomes a cost-benefit analysis, and getting rid of Jimmy clearly outweighs keeping him.
Now, the other issue is that many people are simply annoyed at the cult-like overpraise Jimmy gets here, and overcompensate in their posts for that. But that's not a mark against Jimmy, it's just a reaction to overpraise of him.
