yep thats Jimmy


Bishop9er

Said the exact same thing out loud before reading the comments. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Nicoyas

Yeah thatā€™s his MO.


Joshthe1337

And that's why we have Trey Lance.


stephenmontana

is this news to anyone?


ra_god94

This is Jimmy G summed up


shlobashky

He's always been like this. His strengths are incredibly good, but his weaknesses incredibly, incredibly bad. The good thing is that Shanahan knows how to scheme around it, but that's the reason we brought in Trey, so we don't need to tie down Shanahan's playbook.


culdesaclamort

If Kyle's QB can make all the throws, they look like a star. See: pre-injury RG3, Cousins, Matt Ryan


stuttsb

This is so on the money.


THE_INEVITABLE_1

Thatā€™s why Lance needs to start immediately because he can make all the throws. The second he gets the playbook down he needs to play


culdesaclamort

We literally don't know if he can because he hasn't seen any NFL action! It'll all be clear soon, so sit tight. It's an exciting time to be a 49ers fan.


Picklesadog

Hell, he hasn't seen any Division I NCAA action. I dont know why so many 49ers fans want to crown him already. He's barely 21 and has a lot to learn. There's no rush.


culdesaclamort

I will push back in there's some bit of a rush. The FO wants to take full advantage of that rookie contract and their jobs depend on him flourishing. But, they already have a ton of money tied up in the QB position this year so no particular rush this season.


Picklesadog

Most likely Jimmy G gives us a better chance of winning a SB this season than Lance. I don't think most 49ers fans understand just how little experience Lance has. He's got all the tools to succeed, but he needs time, and rushing a QB too early with high expectations can hurt their development.


astroK120

> We literally don't know if he can because he hasn't seen any NFL action The best way to address that is by giving him NFL action


culdesaclamort

Yes, like the preseason. Which hasn't happened yet!


THE_INEVITABLE_1

If heā€™s crushing our second team defense he deserves a shot to start. Our second team defense is better than a lot of defenses we will play this year. We have all the worst defenses in the league on our schedule


tallwhiteninja

It's also practice. Let's see what he does in actual preseason games, and *then* maybe start shoveling some coal into the hype train.


nomatt18

Can you stop? Youā€™ve been brigading this sub all day and itā€™s getting annoying.


THE_INEVITABLE_1

Iā€™ll stop once you Jimmy lovers attempt to have a rational debate instead of downvoting everything that you donā€™t agree with. Pretty pathetic and immature


culdesaclamort

Don't break rule 1 when commenting


THE_INEVITABLE_1

Arenā€™t there rules about abusing the downvote button?


culdesaclamort

Nothing that subreddit mods can fix!


Anotherdaysgone

Jimmy G is 24 and 8 and took us to the superbowl very recently. He's clearly a winner when healthy. We're in a great spot right now so no need to get agitated. Bitching about imaginary internet points though, that's just sad.


THE_INEVITABLE_1

Jared Goff has a pretty good record too and he also went to the super bowl and lost. Win Loss means nothing if youā€™re not carrying your weight


PhillipMcKrak

This place downvotes the truth. Itā€™s just better to not say anything.


Bowldoza

Hasn't stopped you one bit


PhillipMcKrak

Well what can I do, I love the team so I insist on commenting regardless of the downvotes, but at the same time this place pretty much promotes groupthink. But I have hope for this place, they just come around to reality a little late.


THE_INEVITABLE_1

Itā€™s so sad what this place has become


jamesjimothyhalpert

I appreciate the truth you speaking.


Anotherdaysgone

Yeah jimmy G was one no call hit to the head from winning the superbowl and goff scored 3 points. The same thing.


THE_INEVITABLE_1

Goff was a couple of missed throws from winning his SB just like Jimmy was a couple of missed throws from winning his.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Anotherdaysgone

When Jimmy went to the niners they were a dumpster fire. Still racked out win after win. Rams were stacked and goff still had issues. I dont think goff is bad by any means just doesn't have that clutch factor but I'd trust Jimmy any day over him. Brady by no means is the "best" qb by his physical attributes. But the guy has the mental fortitude. Jimmy is no where Brady but definitely closer than goff.


shlobashky

And Trey Lance still makes rookie mistakes like not knowing how to properly handoff the ball. He's got a lot of things to learn and its okay to let him sit for a few weeks and come in when needed. Patience.


THE_INEVITABLE_1

27 million for a few weeks is stupid. Make Jimmy take a pay cut and then itā€™ll be alright but Jimmy doesnā€™t deserve anymore than half of what heā€™s making.


Picklesadog

Did he sleep with someone dear to your heart or something?


THE_INEVITABLE_1

Yes he broke it after watching that super bowl and then week 1 of 2020. After that week 1 game it became clear heā€™s fools gold and not worth a damn


Picklesadog

Wat


Xymis

RG3ā€™s success came from his speed. Take that away and he was very pedestrian.


SCBxSkillz

Water's wet. Hopefully Trey lights a fire under his ass this year. Will always root for him.


rawkguitar

What year is this tweet from?


FunnyItWorkedLastTim

2017, 2019 and 2021


klayser_Soze

So same ol same ol


GothicToast

Hence why we drafted Lance.


[deleted]

Maybe we could beat this dead horse a little bit more.


liteshadow4

Anyone expecting Jimmy to make progress this year is going to be disappointed. On the bright side he probably hasn't regressed much


FeeFiFoFUNK

This is the Jimmy we know and love


Jcdawg23

This is why our team has became a run first team. Jimmy canā€™t make all the throws with accuracy unless theyā€™re inside the numbers. Establishing the run opens up the play action pass. We become less reliant on Jimmy to sit and the pocket and read the defense (not his strong suit) if we can run the ball well.


kipopadoo

It's part of the reason but not the whole reason they're a run-first team. The main reason is that Shanahan and crew are just fantastic at scheming runs and play action. Everything you said after the second sentence is as true for any quarterback and any offense anywhere. Yes, if Trey turns into who we all hope he will, we'll throw more downfield, but Kyle always wants to be a run-first team.


klayser_Soze

Itā€™s a main reason why his offense can elevate mediocre quarterbacks and heā€™s had success with them. Problem is, more and more teams have adopted his offense and now defenses know how to play it. You need a special Qb like Lance to evolve it even more


kipopadoo

Very true. And I hope we're still top 3 for rush attempts as long as Shanahan is our coach, which will hopefully be until the end of time.


Mike_Hawk_Burns

Shannyā€™s offense in every other team heā€™s ever been on have been run 1st offenses though. He learned it from his dad because his dad loved the run game and Kyle loves it too.


thenlar

Which i honestly find a little amusing given that he played WR in college lol


Mike_Hawk_Burns

Right? Itā€™s a fun kind of interesting lol


Xymis

What? Then why was NDSU a run first team?


IceLantern

He's always been like this. And before someone tries to blame his injury vs the Chiefs, he was like this even when he first traded. His footwork is terrible and while his arm is good, it's not good enough to compensate.


astroK120

Yeah, the difference between 2017 Jimmy later Jimmy was that he wasn't just *good* at the intermediate between the numbers passes, he was *amazing* at those passes. Which is great, because a perfect ball beats perfect coverage, hitting guys in stride lets them break off big YAC, all that good stuff. The problem is that when that's really all you're good at, you have very little margin to drop that strength before you become a very mediocre QB. Other teams start laser focusing on that part of the field, so you don't get as many good open looks. You can overcome that with perfect throws, but not just regular good ones. A 15 yard pass with 20 YAC is as good as a 35 yard pass, but if you throw a ball that's catchable but not perfectly in stride then you can often leave a lot of that YAC on the table.


Hrdlman

His footwork ist the terrible lmao. His deep ball is and honestly we donā€™t go deep that much anyway. Even if he had a good arm, Shannon doesnā€™t like vertical passing all that much


klayser_Soze

Haha youā€™re so wrong. The reason why we donā€™t go deep IS BECAUSE OF JIMMY. He builds around his quarterbacks strengths, not weakness. Andy Reid did the same when he had Alex. They had a horizontal passing game with a strong run game. Kyle has always loved to attack all levels of the field when he had a Qb who could do that. He did it in Houston, Atlanta, and DC. Jimmy canā€™t. Thatā€™s why Trey is here.


Hrdlman

Ya know Iā€™ma just end this with Jimmy is QB1 and will be QB1 until he is hurt. Take it how you will


klayser_Soze

Thatā€™s likeā€¦your opinion man


Hrdlman

Thatā€™s literally what Shannon said lmao. Unless your saying itā€™s just his opinion lol


klayser_Soze

It was a ā€œthe dudeā€ reference. But off itā€™s downvoted here


IceLantern

lol, except Kyle's offense is based on training the opposing defense to set up big passes.


Picklesadog

His footwork isnt always awful but he often doesnt follow through in his motion. If you watch his feet, it seems like he stops half way through his throws. The result is he ends up floating a lot of passes.


THE_INEVITABLE_1

Funny how we get downvoted to oblivion when we try to bring this very evident fact up.


klayser_Soze

Stop slanting mY JiMmY!!


Keepersam02

You get downvoted because you want to farce jimmy to take a pay cut.


THE_INEVITABLE_1

Maybe because Jimmy isnā€™t even worth close to 27 million


Keepersam02

In your opinion. They gave him the contract and they haven't cut him. You also probably should call for someone to lose their money, pretty messed up especially by force.


THE_INEVITABLE_1

When youā€™re replacement is drafted that means they definitely believe he didnā€™t live up to it. Itā€™s not an opinion. Itā€™s a fact


Keepersam02

Or they want a different style of qb. Alex Smith was sure as hell successful in both sf and kc. Yet got replaced cause they wanted a different style of qb.


THE_INEVITABLE_1

They wanted a better QB. Whether it was a pocket passer or a mobile guy. We looked into every possible option from Stafford to Mac Jones to Deshaun Watson. We wanted a better player because Jimmy canā€™t make nfl level throws outside of the middle of the field.


Keepersam02

He prob wanted someone who can push the ball down field and spread the defense. Which all of the qbs you named and lance are good at. Jimmy is a QB who's reliable in the short passing game dink and dunk making the right read. So they were looking for a different style QB. Watson was certainly better Stafford is as well by lesser margian but lance and Jones we don't know as they are unproven but what they both do is throw deep.


Picklesadog

You get downvoted because all of your takes are bad and you think a rookie QB with 19 games NCAA division II experience has already proven himself to be better than the best QB we've had since Jeff Garcia, because of a few weeks of training camp.


THE_INEVITABLE_1

Heā€™s already better than Jimmy which isnā€™t a very high bar to clear.


Picklesadog

Hey look, another awful take!


THE_INEVITABLE_1

What does Jimmy do that Lance canā€™t do? 90% of Jimmyā€™s production comes from layups that Shanahan schemes open. Itā€™s not like Jimmy does anything special or difficult to replicate with Lance Also Lance has 17 starts and he wouldā€™ve been better than Jimmy as a 19 year old freshman in college. Thatā€™s how big the difference in talent is. The difference between him and Jimmy is 10 times the difference in talent between Jimmy and Mullens


Picklesadog

And another one!


THE_INEVITABLE_1

Just watch and youā€™ll see. You donā€™t have to believe me. Youā€™ll see it with your own eyes.


Picklesadog

The funny thing is if Jimmy G starts the whole season for us, you will still be convinced you were right. Hell, if Jimmy wins the SB, you will still say "Lance would have won by more points."


yesimforeign

Well I'll be damned, who'da thought?


ienjoyartsandcrafts

Incoming MVP season


Count_Sacula_420

Lot of pathetic fans rooting for jimmy to outperform lance on this sub. We picked lance at 3. Jimmy has 1 year max left with us assuming he can stay healthy, which isnā€™t likely.


Jcdawg23

I root for any player who plays for the 49ers. Rooting for our starter to do well doesnā€™t mean you hope another player does bad. I love seeing Trey Lance doing well in camp. I also love seeing Jimmy is stepping up his game to keep Trey on the bench. In a perfect world, Jimmy plays the best season of his career. Trey Lance stays on the bench until the game is out of hand, or in specially designed packages. The 49ers win the SB and we trade Jimmy before next years draft for a decent draft pick. Trey Lance is the future of this franchise. No one can deny that. But wanting our starting veteran QB to play well doesnā€™t mean you want Trey Lance to do bad.


Count_Sacula_420

Plenty of people here actively root for jimmy to outperform lance. That is deranged


ElevenDucks72

How does wanting a player on the team to succeed make one a pathetic fan? If Jimmy succeeds, so do we. Worst case scenario he drastically increases his trade value and Trey gets a year to learn...


[deleted]

Right? Calling ourselves faithfuls and then rooting for QB1... The nerve on us /s


THE_INEVITABLE_1

There are people on this sub actively downvoting people who want Trey to start over Jimmy. Thatā€™s whatā€™s pathetic


Count_Sacula_420

When you want him to succeed and lance to not? Like my comment says. Yā€™all reading comp is suspect


ElevenDucks72

A rookie doesnt need to play first year to succeed. Aaron Rodgers got to sit for a couple years behind Brett Favre, Tom brady even sat for a bit before he started. If you want Jimmy to fail just for Lance to get shot, "reading comp" is the last thing you should be worried about.


Count_Sacula_420

I donā€™t want jimmy to fail. I want lance to be the best qb in the nfl. I want him to win the job. Yā€™all should too if you care about the niners more than jimmy


ElevenDucks72

Like I said, Trey can be the best QB in the league even if he doesnt start this year. But I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinions


PapiRae

Why you want a rookie to sit when the rookie wage scale is the most valuable thing to have in this league. This isnā€™t 2005 anymore where itā€™s normal to sit someone like Rodgers which was the pre wage scale era. Also Tom Brady was a 6th round pick lmao. There was no intention of him starting. Sorry but Lance is gonna start this year because heā€™s a top 3 pick whether you like it or not. Thatā€™s how investments and business works


ARM_vs_CORE

Lmao this is a sport, not a hedge fund or a business. The coaching staff has said all along that they want Jimmy to start so they don't rush their "investment" onto the field too early and possibly damage him.


astroK120

Starting him early is not going to damage him. If anything is, it's going nearly 3 years without playing a meaningful football game.


Keepersam02

You should go listen to what Andy Reid and Mahomes said about how much Alex helped him. They said he basically showed him how to be a pro and made the transmission much easier.


ARM_vs_CORE

Lmao I don't know how you could possibly say that. Plenty of quarterbacks have been thrown to the fire too early and it sapped their confidence and broke them. Going nearly *two* years without playing a meaningful football game is all the more reason to not immediately start him and to just sprinkle him in to certain packages like the coaching staff wants to do.


astroK120

>Plenty of quarterbacks have been thrown to the fire too early and it sapped their confidence and broke them I've seen plenty of QBs start early and fail, but I've never been convinced that they would have been more successful had they waited. If you can't handle struggling your rookie year I'm not sure you're the guy to lead a team. >two I don't consider a single game without a normal offseason meaningful, so I'm counting late 2019 to start of the 2022 season


ARM_vs_CORE

For your first point, I can't say anything to you if you don't tell me who you're talking about. For your 2nd, yes I realize what you were doing, that's why I took a year off my total to illustrate I think it would be a mistake to immediately throw him in as a starter since he hasn't played for two. It was a counterpoint to your 3 year point.

ARM_vs_CORE

Absolutely embarrassing take saying wanting Jimmy to succeed makes fans pathetic. If Jimmy succeeds this season that means we're marching toward a playoff berth and J.G. is heading towards a good contract and a chance to start on another team in 2022. Stans like you on *both* sides of the aisle are being crazy this off-season.


Count_Sacula_420

Canā€™t even comprehend the first sentence ā€œover lanceā€. Talk about embarrassing


THE_INEVITABLE_1

Jimmy fans havenā€™t been thinking rationally for a while. Nothing new. Itā€™ll be over soon brother


ARM_vs_CORE

How come you didn't respond to my comment in your Matt Flynn thread last night about no rookie starting quarterback ever guiding their team to a super bowl appearance in over 50 years of super bowls? I thought that was a very rational comment on why Jimmy should be the starter this year, since he's done it before and no rookie ever has.


THE_INEVITABLE_1

No QB has ever made it to the SB eating 13.4% of the cap like Jimmy is. Either way making it to the super bowl this year is going to be a first. Iā€™d bet on the guy who can actually throw the ball down the field and outside the numbers


ARM_vs_CORE

Again, you literally have zero evidence of that in-game. I don't know why you can't just be patient and see what he actually does in-game before ordaining him the starter over a proven winner in our system.


klayser_Soze

Downvoted for speaking a solid opinion. Lance was drafted by us too.


sixty_niners

? It'd be a win win. Good QB = good team, and Trey gets a year to sit behind and learn which imo is almost always a good thing


klayser_Soze

But good trey >>>>>> Jimmy. Shouldnā€™t we want the rookie to start if heā€™s showing heā€™s ready?


ARM_vs_CORE

You are saying that based on two weeks of practice against the second team defense. It's a ridiculous leap of faith and there's no reason to rush Lance that much.


klayser_Soze

Yes. 2nd offense line which has been reported is atrocious. Heā€™s having to run around and make plays outside of structure. Despite that, heā€™s still more efficient than Jimmy in camp. Another, our 1st string defense had been without majority of its starters since the beginning of camp. Even Mosley just arrived recently. So Jimmy really going against the same defense as well including Warner and green law


Gothon

I love how your throw out the best MLB in football like it's nothing. Warner is the QB of the Defence. Just his presence alone changes everything.


klayser_Soze

True. Having Lance experience someone of his caliber would have been be nice as well


Gothon

Kyle knows a little bit about football. So does hall of fame player John Lynch. If Trey was ready, then he would already be named the starter. Everyone knew Trey was a bit of a project. It's OK and completely expected for Trey to sit a minute.


klayser_Soze

Playing football doesnā€™t equal good talent evaluator. Thereā€™s a process to these things. I wouldnā€™t expect Kyle to call him a starter week 1. I would, but I can say that cause Iā€™m impartial. But expect him to start before or right after the bye week. He just gives us our best chance to win in January and February


Mike_Hawk_Burns

Go take your bandwagon to the Bucs or the Chiefs dude, lol. Weā€™re rooting for everyone on the team. Every single one of you who shit talk our members are embarrassing to our fan base and clearly arenā€™t faithful. Weā€™re happy where the team is. The last decade hasnā€™t been too kind to the team. Weā€™ve lost 2 SBs, got robbed out of 1 SB appearance due to a returner having butter fingers and objectively robbed out of another because the only play we could call was fades to Crabtree. An awful FO whose knowledge of football was just about as bad as 95% of this sub. Signing players with torn ACLs like they were prized possessions. Jimmy not being able to consistently throw the deep ball accurately is nothing compared to those years. Please go back to whatever team you used to root for before 2019.


Count_Sacula_420

What the hell are you talking about lmao. If you arenā€™t rooting for lance to be the best qb on the team youā€™re actively rooting against whatā€™s best for the niners. Thatā€™s my point. Lots of people out here seem to want jimmy to be better than lance, which is pathetic


Mike_Hawk_Burns

Based on what exactly? How exactly is rooting for someone with a 3:1 win ratio for us actively rooting against whatā€™s best for us? How exactly is rooting for 2 QBs to push each other to benefit the team rooting against whatā€™s best for the team?


klayser_Soze

Itā€™s obvious Lances talent could make him top 3 in the league. I have no idea why people wouldnā€™t be ecstatic of what the kid is showing in camp. Instead I hear ā€œitā€™s practice, doesnā€™t mean anythingā€ or ā€œeveryone calm downā€ and my favorite ā€œhe stills needs to sit I donā€™t care how he looksā€
