49ers without Jimmy?

[VikingsAD28]

Can the 49ers make a deep playoff run without him?

 

[Schmoopy1000]

well the key is keeping the new guy from turning it over.
Keep turnovers down & not a lot will change with the QB change.
Defense main key.
Running game 2nd key
QB dont do something stupid. 3rd key.

I posted this in the game day thread:

He looked ok today but yeah, it's a big ask. It helps that that team is defense led, and that Jimmy wasn't super special. Purdy did basically what Jimmy would have today, made some big 3rd down throws, etc. The offense is also run focused, and there's plenty of weapons for Purdy to throw to. We'll see what the next 5 games look like, maybe it won't be that different as far as their offensive efficiency.

This isn't like Rodgers or Mahomes or Allen going down. But no way to make this into a good thing. It's a bad break, pun intended.

Hard to say until we see Purdy play a couple of games. Need to see how he does with 1st team reps and starter preparation along with opposing defenses preparing to play against him.

They've got the defense that can still make a run if Purdy can just effectively manage the game which he did a decent job of doing today but hard for me to imagine winning an NFC Championship game or Super Bowl with Purdy at the helm. You'd need the defense to be standing on it's head and you'd need the running game of their 2019 playoff run to do that.

I still think they win the NFC West and get a home game. It will depend on the matchup they get. Then they likely have to play Minnesota. Minnesota plays close games. I still think they can get to the NFC Championship games in a 50/50 game with Minnesota.

The 9ers could make a deep playoff run with Russell Wilson as their quarterback.

QB No. 3? Meet Brock Purdy, the San Francisco 49ers rookie and Mr. Irrelevant of 2022 draft

Jimmy Garoppolo was carted off field with left foot injury in the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Dolphins, putting Brock Purdy into game.

www.usatoday.com

So....as he was today, "Mr. Irrelevant" will become very relevant in the coming weeks.

Niners remaining schedule:

Home vs Tampa Bay
@ Seattle
Home vs Washington
@ Las Vegas
Home vs Arizona

Oh God... Jimmy Gparorlrorlrorlol going out means the 49ers will win the Super Bowl and we'll have to hear about it all fuckin' offseason.

And then some dumbass team will trade a 1st for that fuck and the 49ers will probably get an all pro. God dammit!

 

[megalodon30]

Probably not. That team is all Jimmy G. They lose twice as much as they win whenever Jimmy is out.

I’d trade Russ for him.

I'll put it this way: It's not a given they even win the division now

Possible just because their defense is the real deal.

I only see 1 more win for the 49ers, including a loss to the Seahawks, if it was just a pick'em game.

Niners are already built for a game manager at QB that doesn’t have to do too much. I see them at a 3-2 finish at worst.

Calling Purdy a game manager is a major stretch until proven otherwise, imo.

That’s what he was at Iowa St. The schedule isn’t that difficult either.

Right now I don't think there is any team dumb enough to take him...

He wasn't all that good at Iowa St as far as the NFL is concerned. Niners didn't win a lot of games with Beathard or Mullens either.

oh boy, the usual suspects know full well how this will end while the smart money takes a wait and see approach

 

[broncosmitty]

Can Andrew Luck play for anyone he wants, or do the Colts own his rights?

Go bet on the 49ers if you want to talk this way. Massive hypocrite.
