Well there you have it. SF defense is much better than KC's and now we see their QB is superior too.How did Mahomes & Jimmy each fare against top-10 passing defenses?
no reason to even play. Congrats 9ers fans!

hopefully there will be 1000 yards passing in the super bowl. That, I'll watch.
13 QBs played the full 16 games this season. Jimmy G being one of them. Yet Jimmy G ranks 19th in attempted passes. Which means their are QBs who played fewer games but still surpassed Jimmy in attempted passes. Why you think that happened? 20 QBs played in 14 or more games. Seems to me his passing was on a leash. You know like most game managers. It hasn't just been during the playoffs.
He's definitely be fortunate to be in a great situation. Seems to be a nice, young HC (could go the McVay way after this year though), solid OL, amazing defense and running game. That's all they need him to be is a game manager and that's all he is to this point. Surprised he has 14 INT's being behind that OL and strong running game though.
The funny part is the numbers are more like this when we use a finer instrument (DVOA) and then use top 10 pass defenses as our sample for funzies. It's not all that close.Well there you have it. SF defense is much better than KC's and now we see their QB is superior too.

Only when it fits the agendaI love when people use wins as a stat to make an argument that a QB is great

In many ways, the Super Bowl is the biggest media event of the year. With all the attention that gets paid to the game and the teams participating, it's no surprise that everyone seems to have an opinion or a "hot take" to bring some attention to himself or herself.
One of the narratives that's currently floating around is that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is some kind of a game manager who's just along for the ride. Garoppolo's detractors are pointing to the fact that he's only attempted 27 passes this postseason, and that his lack of opportunities has something to do with head coach Kyle Shanahan game planning around his signal caller.
While the idea of Garoppolo being a liability is gaining steam with the misinformed, anyone who's actually seen him play this year would know that's not the case. In fact, Garoppolo's been everything the 49ers have needed and more in 2019.
First of all, if you look at what he's done on the surface, the numbers were some of the best in the NFL. His 3,978 passing yards were the 12th most in the league and the fourth highest total for a Niners quarterback in franchise history. Garoppolo also finished tied for fifth with 27 touchdowns passes, and his 8.4 yards per attempt put him second overall.
At 69.1%, Garoppolo's completion rate was the fourth best, and is even more impressive when you consider that the 49ers had the third highest drop rate of any team (6%). He was also fourth in on-target throws at 80.7%.
But to really appreciate what Garoppolo's brought to the table, you'd have to look at his performance when his team needed him the most. When San Francisco was trailing, Garoppolo completed 73% of his throws at 9.1 yards per attempt. He threw 11 of his 27 touchdown passes rallying from behind, and posted a rating 115.7.
In the fourth quarter of games, Garoppolo was able to hit on 70% of his attempts and averaged 8.33 yards per throw. He connected on six touchdowns to only one interception, and was rated at 107.1. In turn, it's no surprise that no other quarterback posted more fourth quarterback comebacks (four), and only Russell Wilson, Josh Allen and Deshaun Watson engineered more game winning drives.
And what about that vaunted running game helping him out? Well, in Weeks 9-11, the 49ers struggled to run the ball to the tune of 2.8 yards per carry over that three game stretch. Garoppolo responded by throwing for a total of 989 yards and nine touchdowns to help carry his team. San Francisco went 2-1, and was a missed field goal away from winning all three contests. And winning is something we've become accustomed to with this particular player, isn't it?
As good of a coach as Shanahan is, he's 4-20 without Garoppolo as his starting quarterback and 21-5 with him. The two are a perfect pair for each other and there's no denying the impact Garoppolo has. Shanahan's 49ers have averaged 29 points in the 26 games Garoppolo's been the starter, and 19 points in the 24 games with Brian Hoyer, C.J. Beathard or Nick Mullens behind center.
Is Garoppolo a perfect quarterback? No, he's certainly still learning in a lot of ways and is prone to throwing the occasional "what was he thinking?" pass. But those flaws don't take away from the fact that in less than two full seasons as a starter, Garoppolo's turned into an accurate, clutch, Pro Bowl caliber quarterback who's one game away from a Super Bowl title.
It’s a dumb argument regardless imoOnly when it fits the agenda
I love when people use wins as a stat to make an argument that a QB is great
I don’t think wins should be a QB stat at all tbh it takes a team to win. If you put not a steaming pile of dog shit on the Bears they probably win around 10It's not the end all be all of stats but it's not completely irrelevant either.
Usually if you have a pretty good winning record it means your doing something right at QB.
I mean look at the Bears this season despite how good their defense was they still finished 8-8 and that was mainly due to Trubisky being mediocre and when he wasn't mediocre they actually won games.
You still need to dig deeper to see how much a guy is being carried by his team but if you're pulling off 10+ win seasons your QB is at least pulling his weight.
Good article Rock.....but it mostly falls on deaf ears. Those with agendas, and a real lack of football knowledge just hold their idiotic ground.....
Those with agendas, and a real lack of football knowledge just hold their idiotic ground.....that I made around 2 years ago about the guy.
On a even more ridiculous number of attempts.Same kind of people that make the argument that Eli Manming is one of the best QBs of all time. Like we should be impressed because he threw for a lot of yards.
We all know the Ravens dumped Dilfer after winning the Superbowl due to being so limited. His stats confirm that. So I was wondering how his numbers stack up vs Jimmy G. Dilfert had 4 games vs 2 thus far for Jimmy, so I averaged the numbers. Here are the numbers.
Attempted passes per game: Dilfer 18.25 Jimmy 13.25
Completions per game: Dilfert 8.75 Jimmy 8.5
Yards per game: Dilfer 147.5 Jimmy 100.5
TDs in 4 games Dilfer had 3. Jimmy in 2 games has 1
Who has the better stats in the playoffs?
why is that?This is the most disingenuous post in the history of the forum. Lol
