I am not really surprised by it. I was concerned about the injury and the impact that it would have. And I still kinda am like on the long term as injuries may not age well. Idk. But he is still young and I forget about that lol. I think I picked 12-5 iirc..or was it 11-6.. for the season but that was before I knew BP would recover as well as he did. Healthy, I likely would have picked higher. I knew this kind of success was definitely possible when healthy because he was this last year. Why would it change other than the injury affecting him? He has been this all along. There was a reason I got a little misty eyed (lol) after watching a couple of games with him. I knew this was going to leave an imprint on the NFL and I was damn excited he signed with the Niners. I knew we were watching something historic really. It's really special and glad I am here for it:)
Same, brotha. I predicted most things exactly right this off season. I had my optimistic thoughts (which you and I discussed many times this off season) and then I had my conservative thought because I didn't know what kind of impact the injury would have on his play this year.
i thought he could be a top 8 QB (knocking on elite) at worst and a top 4-5 qb at best. He's surpassed my expectations but just based on what he did in the regular season and especially the post season, there was no reason to doubt him. There was a ton of reasons to be super optimistic
I didn't really expect him to be mvp front runner because of how balanced our offense is, no way in hell any one predicted he would have the most efficient season of all time. Lol that's the only way to lead the league in these stats with this offense/talent - like CMC.
I can't remember if I predicted in the off season what our record would be but I remember early in I said we could go 15-2 or 14-3. We will see - I just want the 1 seed to give our guys rest and home field.
hopefully we maintain our tickets in the playoffs and don't let opposing bases like the cowboys enter
