Jimmy G. or Shanahan... Who should shoulder more of the blame?

[Fountain City Blues]

I kinda agree that the plays were there, guys were open.
Both are to blame. But if jimmy makes
Some of those not so hard throws, this is a different outcome

The game seemed like good and bad Jimmy showing up over the course of 4 quarters. Gave a lot of ammo to his fans and haters.

Good, but aggressively not elite to this point.

Good points, tough to dispute that.

Thats why I think it's both. I can argue both ways.
I can 97% be convinced it's shabby fault. And I can be 97.8 % convinced it's jimmys.

We can just agree that SF sucks and call it a night.

Let me guess, you lost a bet to handi and he's fucking with you.

Avatar bet. 'Til next season starts.

Tell me it's at least a months' bet.

'Til the first preseason game. July something.

Why did the avatar switch already? He picks a new one for your every few hours? LOL. I know you were always a big Kaepernick fan.

Having Kaeptard as an avatar is pretty brutal.

Apparently, the last avatar included a photoshopped photo of some other poster whom Handi'Weirdo stalked to his facebook page & grabbed a screen shot. That poster asked me to change the avatar to an alternative one.

Damn that handicappers dude is fucking weird, seriously.

LOL. I have been saying that Garoppolo is the best QB the Niners have had since Garcia, but now it's very fair to question that. Jimmy might be ahead in regular season performance, but Kaepernick is definitely ahead of Jimmy in playoff heroics, including making more plays in the Super Bowl.

Jimmy's still the best Niner QB since Steve Young (Garcia was one of the most overrated QBs of all time; he was dog s**t). But that's not saying much. I have zero confidence in him.

Yep, I lost a notch or two of respect for JG, I was fairly confident he'd play better than that. So, ok, he should get another playoff run or two, he can change the narrative (like Reid did yesterday)

If anything, Garcia was underrated. The dude was undrafted. He wasn't great, and either Alex Smith or Kaepernick would've surpassed him as a Niner QB if the team had decided to stick with either guy for a longer period of time, but give Jeff Garcia credit for putting in solid work.

If you saw him in Cleveland or Detroit, you'd know that's not true.

It's hard for anyone to be successful in those two cities. He was a solid QB in his other stops.

True, he should get more playoff runs, and I hope he achieves success and elevates his status, but getting another Super Bowl chance will be tough. I think he's got excellent mechanics and a quick release, but it seems like he has below average velocity on his passes, which might be part of the reason his interceptions happen. He also seems to have lost mobility after the ACL injury.

Kaepernick is kind of the opposite, as his release was probably the biggest problem with his technique, but he did have the big arm to somewhat make up for it. And of course, he was a threat with his mobility.

It's fair to question the vision and decisionmaking of both Kap and Jimmy, and both guys lost their only SB appearance, but for people who are okay with small sample sizes, I think you have to say that Kaepernick came through in the Super Bowl much more than Jimmy did.

He was also football ret**ded. Couldn't read a defense to save his life; repeated the same mistakes over & over again.
