49ers 30 years ago

[jordan20_3]

30 years ago 49ers traded for Steve Young
Steve Young drafted in 1984 30 years before Garoppolo drated in 2014
Steve Young was coached by Mike Shanahan, Garoppolo is coached by Kyle
Is this a coincidence? History always repeats itself

Almost 40 years ago, an offensive-minded Head Coach got his young stud Italian QB.
Having known they'd be giving up the Bay area, the Raiders left town.
After establishing himself as the best QB in football history, he went to KC.

Today, an offensive-minded Head Coach got his young stud Italian QB.
The Raiders are once again, are leaving the Bay area.
After establishing himself as the 2nd best QB in football history, in 2030, he'll go to KC.

He reminds me more of Joe than Steve.

Me too. Steve was more of a runner. When he Steve put the ball down he was going to take off running. Joe in his early days before the back injury was really mobile but would often use that mobility to throw the ball downfield like Jimmy G does now.

Steve Young's QB coach for the first few years in SF was Mike Holmgren. I think 86 to 91

I'm looking forward to seeing how he does against a top notch defense like the Jags this weekend. Most of all I just hope he doesn't get hurt.

That pretty much sums it up that rickety O-Line needs to hold up and keep him healthy.

So I will forgive them a holding penalty or two.

Sometimes, even THIS O-line holds up well?!

A good QB makes those around him better.

 

[deep9er]

What about a good RB?


nevermind...................haaa

They are playing well knowing that their meal ticket is playing behind them.

The thing about Garopollo is even the defense and special teams are playing better with him on the team.

LOL, that is because the defense is not on the field the whole game under Jimmy G. The third down conversions and time of possession went way up so our defense isn't gassed by half time. I think that is part of it. So was getting Ruben Foster back and a couple of other guys. Now we just need to find a replacement for Donate Johnson who is one of the league's worst corners. I read somewhere Rashard Robinson has been an inactive for the Jets.

One of the league's worst? I'd say the worst. he has no business being in an NFL uniform. #24 looks like a decent Corner.

There is a reason that Johnson leads the team in tackles and it ain't a good one. Glad that Robinson is just a bad memory. Hope Johnson becomes one soon.
