For sure. Lol any real fan, whether you liked jimmy or not, knows that he had a ton of wtf plays. Plays that you can't even really explain. Lol he's had them in all his raider games too.
I've said it a million times, I like jimmy, but he has limitations. The more I've watched him with the raiders, the more I've realized how great of a job kyle did with him. The way he protected the team, and jimmy, from jimmy. Lol I love Kyle and always have, but now I have even more respect for him after watching jimmy in his first three raiders game.
Just watching Brock, its so clear how much of a better mind he has for the game. He sees the fields and reads the defenses exponentially better. Even when Brock has a bad throw/read - it's explainable. Lol it's usually he was late on the throw or he didn't see a defender. With jimmy it's like "I have absolutely no clue why he attempted or what he was thinking". Lmao
I liked Jimmy, but you can tell he's a bit of a meathead. Brock is much more cerebral and doesn't get panicky like Jimmy.
I've defended him a lot, and still do depending on the criticism, but the more I watch him with the raiders - the more I realize it was mainly Kyle and the talent around him. I question how well jimmy can even go through 3-4 reads after watching him recently.
More and more of the Jimmy Club will come to see the obvious. Not saying you're a card carrying member or anything.
The point of jimmy's time here, is that he shouldn't have been treated the way he was treated. As the scapegoat for everything. By the 49er press, by the front office. We could win with Jimmy, and Jimmy can win elsewhere. Is Brock doing things Jimmy didn't? Yes. And many other qb's too. Not a knock on Jimmy. And lets not make it like shanny got nothing to clean up. he did when coaching for Jimmy, and now with brock as well. I could get into it, but that's for another thread.
Just want to end this post with, thank you Jimmy for how helped us get to the next level, and best wishes where ever you go.
Feels great baby. (4TD's that day)
How did the FO scapegoat Jimmy?
expecting better play from all the team's positions and moving on from players that can't stay healthy, or don't perform up to expectations is not scapegoating. The FO was always supportive of Jimmy until it was clearly time to move on. Maybe some fans didn't get the memo,
