Thats what teams do to QBs that have difficulty getting the ball to the WRs under pressure. QBs like, Locke, Cousins, Prescott, and many others.
Problem is that Jimmy IS pretty damn good at distributing the ball AND can handle just about any type of coverage along with threading the needle.
Just saying, it should be cake beating a crappy QB like Jimmy, right?
So to start with, GB is not afraid of jimmy nor are they planning for him to do much. All he does is distribute the ball, right? AR is all world and so GB is confident they are going to steamroll us.
Ok…so Davonte is the best WR out there matched with AR. Dillon and Jones, are both top notch. We can't compete because all we have is , well….
Kittle…Au jus…Jennings….Deebo,..Aiyuk….unhhh, ELIJAH…AND an OL that is 7 man deep, with McKivitz and Jaylon being huge additions. Sure their QB is all world, probably MVP (before our game) but is he better than the 6 good hands guys noted above?
Rodgers+ DaVonte+ Dillon + jones…are they really better than ..au jus, kittle, Jennings, Aiyuk, Deebo, Elijah with JG distributing the ball? Somehow, i don't think so, even tho JG has a torn ligament AND chip fracture of his throwing thumb + a sprained shoulder. Actually i like our 7-some better good-hands-guys in spite of AR.
Defense…GB has an excellent DL . But are they better than our 8 man deep DL all starters? Givens, Hurst, Street, Ebuk, Arik, DJJones, Arden Key and …missing one…oh yeah, Nick…is GB's DL better than our starting 8…one of which , Nick, draws doubles and triples every play? Somehow, i don't think so. Add in remainder of our front 7 and w/ Dre, Azeez and Freddie, you gotta like our D a whole lot more than GBs. And our DBs are worlds better than when we played in Game 3, and lost by a last second FG. GB is not ready for what this DL is going to bring, and i don't think AR realizes it. Nor LeFleur.
Leaving coaching. Matt LeFleur is top notch, maybe as good as his mentor, Kyle. Expect great playcalls from both. But I like Mike McDaniel, and especially our DC, Demeco better than i like GBs offerings.at OC and DC. On STs, i just pray kyle and Meco are hand coaching those STers.
On paper, GB wins in blink of an eye. But you put it all together, and who really has the best team? Advantage GB at home, in the ice and snow, with AR. But you compare teams and coaches…and there is a lot more there…there…in SF than in GB.
Against all odds, better DL and OL, 6 better good hands guys than GBs 3 good hands guys, and despite AR/DaVonte, i like us better. 9ers 28-27.
All the above works ONLY if we can take DaVonte out just like we took out Cee Dee in DAL ,and Aaron Donald in LA. We have to take him out, with full time doubles…or however we removed Cee Dee.
