The 49ers have a (massive) Jimmy Garoppolo dilemma. 

Inside the 40 yard Pass triangle 🔼 QB are in control and credited 75% as they can force self defense catching or hit them in the throat with the ball.. On the edges and outside its 75% receiver credited with little on the qb. Every nfl qb can pass arching sideline balls letting wr track them down and run under it or 50/50 physically take it out if the air. Espn and some of current style protestors are backwards pushing what they want the game to be over the last decade. West coast schemes want to beat the defense before the snap. They like to use vet qb so they can pre snap read and run routes into the soft areas of the defense.. You can't scheme up one or two route reads blindly into unknowns defense so you have to trust the qb eyes to check them into the right pre snap call .

You can't do this without a rush threat in order to keep the mlb and safety on their heels

Yea 4 inches is a ton

4 inches is a lot, and Jimmy doesn’t have Russ’s arm, mobility and deep accuracy

@@ty39_ B.S. my wife says 4 inches isn't much!

@@maroc-al-helmidi unfortunately russ doesn’t have any of those things anymore either

@@Mike__B I'm sorry

Probably not. There's usually tougher competition in primetime

Probably more of a fluke/bad luck/tougher competition. Also. He's had good primetime performances, its more MNF that's the problem.

Kirk is a man of routine. He sucks on Monday cause it messes with his routine. He's said as much

Brett Kollman did a video on this in 2018, look it up, you'll be surprised to see what he came up with.😃😃😀

@callmecatalyst dunno why you're responding to me bruh I'm a Cousins supporter. Would much rather have him back here in Washington as opposed to all the dreck we've had since. Of course the team will be ass as long as the owner remains.

Lmaoooo so true

It’s insane how much he’s making per game for how he’s playing. Put Purdy in. 49ers are more than likely not SB material this year anyway. They have the roster for the most part, but too many injuries and an inconsistent and highly predictable qb doesn’t bode well. At least after the season is over they can get a good idea of what Purdy is made of. We already know what Jimmy is made of, and that juice ain’t worth the squeeze.

​@@bobstark4201 Take away Wk1, when Jimmy didn't play, and the 49ers are the #1 DVOA passing offense in the NFL right now, believe it or not. But if you include Wk1 then Patrick Mahomes moves ahead of the 49er's -Wk1 rating number, so Jimmy and the 49ers are more honestly the #2 DVOA passing offense. I like Brock Purdy. But you honestly think Purdy is ready to beat that? I think Jimmy's juice is worth squeezing. I'm not sour on him, despite his limitations. He helped take us to the NFCC last year, beating the #3 seed with #1 rated offense and the #1 seed, at their homes - with two throwing arm injuries. I don't think any QB in NFL history has gone as far with 2 throwing arm injuries. (Sure, he rode on other star player's successes. But he enabled those other players' successes.) And this year he's HEALTHY, playing well, and we have even more weapons on both sides of the ball. Also, he may not be a great passer, but he's an ELITE team leader. Not enough is talked about the importance of QB leadership. Jimmy instills confidence in his teammates. They've said they'd walk through walls for Jimmy. Ever hear anyone say that about Aaron Rodgers? Jimmy has a short memory and doesn't get emotional after one of those WTF bad passes or INT's. He doesn't get all upset and spiral down making more mistakes, like Dak Prescott in last year's Wildcard game, who made some bad passes and then more mistakes, spiraling, couldn't dig his team back out of the hole, made more mistakes until that doozy at the end. (It wasn't all on Dak; plenty of dumb mistakes by the rest of the team.) Jimmy comes back after bad passes often with a string of beauties. He's led a number of impressive comebacks even after making bad throws, like that Wk18 Rams game last year - down 17 pts. and helped lead the team back to victory, propelling them into the playoffs with a RELENTLESS attitude, now confident they could come back even if trailing on the scoreboard. People don't realize how important that kind of attitude is, how it plays a role in success. Jimmy helps lead that relentless attitude. Jimmy always plays cool and aggressively, winning or losing. He's rock steady emotionally. And he has a short memory for his teammate's mistakes, too. Where AR12 punishes his receivers who drop his passes by refusing to throw to them again even when they're open, and overtly chooses favorites, Jimmy rebuilds his receiver's confidence and throws right back to them, and usually spreads the ball around well. Jimmy brings out the best from his teammates. AR12's selfish attitude resulted in Jimmy outperforming the league MVP in the critical 2nd half of that playoff game last year with more completions, higher cmpl%, yardage and points. I think Dak's and Aaron's poor leadership skills compared to Jimmy's better leadership skills are one of the reasons those better QB's lost to us and have a worse post-season record than Jimmy's. Jimmy also has good reads on defenses and makes good audible calls to change blocking assignments for run plays, that he doesn't get enough credit for - not just a decent passing QB. Jimmy has his limitations. But he also has qualities like very good leadership that don't show up in the stats, but may help explain why he has a strong W-L record.

@@rhmayer1 Leadership skills are intangibles and are highly subjective, especially when saying he "instills confidence in his teammates". And if you want to discuss confidence, let's do that. Many times when Jimmy is pressured or sacked, the next play is a skiddish one where he is prone to making mistakes. I remember last year, watching a game with friends. Jimmy got sacked the previous play and as he hikes the ball he looks completely frantic and I say to my friend, "he's freaking out, he better not throw an interception", but that is exactly what he did. That's not a quality you want in a starter, especially one of his tenure. One would have to be blind to say that Jimmy is the future of this team. We all know he's not. Jimmy knows he's not. The owners and the coaches know he's not hence why they were wanting to let him go and eventually just made him a backup, exactly where Bill B. kept him. There's also a reason why none of the other teams picked him up when they had the chance, in spite of the apparent qualities you believe he has. Because they all see past the success the Niners have had and intelligently don't equate that with Jimmy being a top tier qb. He is highly inconsistent. He will be near flawless with you one game and near completely fall apart the next. Either way he walks off smiling, but if you made 250k each game for just showing up, wouldn't you? Just to prove a point, watch all of Jimmy's fumbles and interceptions the past 3 years. Also notice how so many of those turnovers came in key situations bc assumedly the pressure got to him. Jimmy is not usually key in the clutch, though he has had his moments. But that's Jimmy. He will never give you consistency. If you manage him properly, surround him with an all-star cast and don't expect too much of him, sure you can win games with him, maybe even a SB. But that says more about how he's managed and the players around him than it says anything about him. Honestly, how the Niners play football completely flies in the face of conventional wisdom. They don't rely on their QB, they make him one part of a very large machine, which is why people mistakenly attribute success to Jimmy, because that's what you do in football when an offense has success, you assume the QB is the force behind that. But the niners have a "next man up" philosophy where each player takes their turn in carrying the team. Put Purdy in and look to the future, see if he's part of it or not since we won't be able to know if Trey will be. But one thing is for certain, Jimmy has been and will always be a good backup quarterback, not a franchise starter.

@@bobstark4201 I don't disagree with your points but I think you just take them a bit too far. You say he's highly inconsistent, and will never give you consistency. What game this year has he played poorly? Even in their losses this year he's played rather well but the defense more notably played poorly. All their wins this year have been blow-outs and their losses were mostly defensive blunders due to lots of starters out, injured. For his 6 and a half games this season he has 11 TD passes (tied for 11th) to 4 INT's (tied for 10th) which is good, not great - almost a 3:1 ratio. With Jimmy's #2 DVOA passing game efficiency you really want to put Brock Purdy, Mr. Irrelevant 2022 - the final pick of the 2022 draft, in now - in the home stretch of the season??!? Purdy hardly knows the playbook and has zero NFL experience. You can't be serious! I think you and I may disagree about why the 49ers wanted to move away from Jimmy. It was not primarily because of his inconsistency as I think you argue, but rather because of his injury-prone history. And c'mon, the reason no team was interested in Jimmy was because he had shoulder surgery and NOBODY is going to trade for an injury-prone injured QB until they see how the recovery goes. I think a number of teams saw Jimmy Wk2 or Wk3 and regret not having made a move. Jimmy certainly has limitations but being injury-prone is/was his primary perceived limitation, I believe. (And look how far he was able to help take the team last year with TWO throwing arm injuries.) As I said before, this year he's healthy AND has even more offensive weapons to further diminish the impact of his other limitations. His long ball is also underrated, or overstated as a limitation. I know he's not consistent throwing downfield - but apparently no one else is either, at least last year. Another surprising statistic, from last year, was that he had the highest Cmpl% in the league for passes 40 yds and more. Yeah, he gets a bit skiddish when getting sacked and pressured, when the O-line is not providing good pass pro. But I've seen him come back from bad throws a lot more than spiraling down. He's led a lot of comebacks. When I refer to his leadership and instilling confidence in his teammates I didn't just make that up from my own subjective observations. It's what's been reported by the players on the team a number of times. It's an established reputation for him, here in the SF bay area. (Not sure if you're in the local area.) Some NFL QB, I forgot who, got a lot of press coverage last week for going over to a dejected receiver who dropped a ball. The sports pundits were making a big deal about the QB boosting the frustrated receiver and how special that was, showing great leadership. That wouldn't even get reported here; that's routine for Jimmy. He's highly motivating. Even CMC talked about how well Jimmy really leads in the huddle when asked what he thinks about his new QB. HIs leadership is really not subjective. He's always supportive and crediting his teammates at the podium, and never points to teammates after losses. (He never mentioned the defense after the blowout loss to the Chiefs despite it being the worst 49er defensive performance since 2006, allowing 6 TD's out of 7 Rams drives, interrupted only by a missed FG attempt, and then allowing 4 consecutive TD drives. Instead Jimmy just talked about the whole team not playing well despite his offense putting up 23 points, only 1 point less than Josh Allen and the Bills put up to beat the Chiefs the prior week.) There's just no comparison to someone like Aaron Rodgers, who's a magnificent future HOFer for sure but just terrible as a leader, IMO, and I think his poor leadership performance shows on the field and in the score occasionally. Jimmy also makes key audible adjustments after reading defenses to shift blocking assignments for run plays - he makes significant contributions not just to the passing game, which he doesn't get enough credit for. I don't think there's any denying that Jimmy saved the season after Trey went down Wk2. They're lucky they didn't trade him and would not be making a SB run without him. They most likely would not have been willing to make the 4 draft picks trade for CMC if they didn't think they could go all the way this year - with Jimmy. And I don't know any other backup QB in the league with a 4-2 post season record. He's a seasoned vet and starter. Last year he was Top Ten in both QBR and Passer Rating - at or near the bottom, but still Top Ten. All your criticisms about Jimmy's play are valid, just not as bad as you describe IMO - at least not that bad this year so far. I think only injuries will stop them from going all the way this year.

Which is why it pisses me off that there are 49ers fans who want him fired when he's not "perfect". Fans really don't how good we have it right now with Kyle and Lynch.

Yeah as long as they keep that defense going they just needed game manager, remember Trent Dilfer he's a Super Bowl champ

Except he can throw deep. They just don't do it often.

@@TheDJ2Fr3sh If he's so good, why did Kyle and Lynch decide to fire him and go with Trey instead?

@@xavierchen7054 if he could throw deep Mahomes would stop be ringless

Dating advice? Yes, I laughed too.

plz do not disturb Jimmy

seems like being outside your comfort zone should be very comfrddeeeeeeerttgtable right?

His comfort zone is pornstars, Joe

Exactly... they're hating. He doesn't state how when Jimmy does throw the ball outside the numbers or throws it deep our receivers drops it

Because there's a narrative that Jimmy can't throw deep.

@@xavierchen7054 well he did throw deep and with accuracy.

@@xavierchen7054 Agree. Which is why I like facts a lot better than narratives.

And a dime to woerner ~25yds downfield that was dropped as well

you officially know how to watch a people play football now

😂 Glad you like it Unc!

@callmecatalyst Yep he doesn't take deep shots often, but when he does and it's on time and on target. The catches seem to be less than 50% Not absolving Jimmy for his limitations, but he doesn't get the help with the deep ball the same way he does short to intermediate passes.

Thanks TLD! Love hearing from you bro, glad you like it. I think the over reliance on pre snap reads/getting the ball out quick like I highlighted are the key problems (especially with the c1 Robber stuff). He needs to get the ball out so quick he can't scan everything so he just rips it in there. It's easy for the robber to pause a sec, then fly towards where they know the ball is going to be.

@callmecatalyst ​ We lose to bad teams and beat teams we shouldn't. Part of the reason he's so brave is the weapons he has. Smith had a similar skill set, probably less talented, but he did well in KC. Jimmy is kinda meh even with his offensive toys

I bet you he won't throw it long Sunday good teams don't have that he'll do it again bad teams

Horseshoes and hand grenades does not a championship make. Coulda woulda…

@callmecatalyst wow you keep using all these words, I don't think they mean what you think they mean🤔🤔🤔😯😯😳😳. Inconceivable isn't it..yyyyaaawwwnnn 😴😴😴😪😪😪🤤🤤🤤

Hah thanks brotha! Yeah I gotta get Troy 2.0 an episode

Thanks

I agree, he keeps winning! Going to the NFC chip after the Super Bowl is what did it for me. It's not the prettiest, but he just wins and wins

Great point

It's our Oline, unfortunately the couple rookies just arent ready quite yet (takes time) and the vets are kinda bad, when we lose Trent it goes a bit to shit. CMC can make up for a bad oline though so hopefully he can tide us over till A: the line group gets time to gel together more and the rooks get more reps AND/OR B: We get Trent back. Still don't feel super great about all the picks were giving up because I feel like we need to be like shotgun drafting lineman at this point BUT if he can stay healthy and make up for some shaky line play it's worth it for sure.

Thanks

It’s awful…. I’m a 9er fan

@@jW-tz7mw amen, now we know how the Ravens felt with Dilfer

Another thing that all that helps but everyone ignores. Our O line is not great at pass pro. They are built for run blocking the outside zone. What is the point of having a deep pass if the line won't hold up for it. Even when we dial deep stuff up. Jimmy usually has to move a lot or get hit as he releases the ball.

@@erichundley6036 what people also fail to realize, is our running game and defense is what got us that Super Bowl. Everyone hails the qb , when the blood sweat and hardwork of the run game and Defense is what carried us. The Ravens taught the NFL that lesson about a managing qb, …how we have forgotten

@@erichundley6036 He’s had plenty of time to throw last week vs the Falcons. He had plenty of clean pockets and he had no sacks. It’s been that way for a good amount times this season…He also had time to throw all those long passes that were dropped. Fans can’t have it both ways.

Totally. The 9ers fanbase is generally very frustrating. Anyone who blames Shanahan for the offensive stagnation doesn’t know how to watch film. That includes the SF beat writers.

he doesn't design the plays though, he just calls them

@@nathanwood3110 Kyle Shanahan is the offensive coordinator and doesn't design the plays? Who do you think does then?

@@levisnyder6585 Agree. Kyle radically improved the results of Matt Schaub, Matt Ryan, etc. He got Jimmy to the Super Bowl and NFC Championship. That's mostly on Kyle. Imagine what he could do with a top quarterback. Hopefully we have that with Trey. He certainly has the arm and leg talent, intelligence, work ethic, leadership, etc.

@@LoanwordEggcorn You can see the idea with CMC; pull defenders out of the middle.

Did he really just end the video with "he'll shove it right down your throat"? (knowing his dating history)

Kyle designed the whole offense around what Jimmy does great . Which is throwing in the middle . But like the video says , that’s literally all he does . Gets hard to be creative when the qb can only make one type of throw

Thank you brother, means a lot! No, I think he's still balling. He doesn't have the QB in Trey or Jimmy, so it's always going to be tough for him to have that elite offense every year

Thanks brother, glad you like it. Tough one today

Kyle feels constricted by Jimmy, not vice versa. The Trey offense is vastly different than the Jimmy one

Oh really? Other QBs have no bad games? Actually Garopollo has less bad games (percentage wise) than the so called "franchise" QBs. Oh, and all those "franchisers" (outside of Brady) have about 1 SB win every 30 years. Look it up... Figured him out, yeah, sure... Not. Same efficiency as the other years. Right at the top. As usual.

It's really crazy when you look for it. The glances (quick 5-7 yard in breakers) to Aiyuk and Deebo happen again and again. Thanks Moises!

Thanks Ricardo!

Dude I've said that like 12 times a day since Russ dropped it 😂

If you could do the Rams offense, that would be great. Is it purely injuries/missing pieces on O or is there more issues there?

I'll put them on the list Mohammed!

That would be a bad move. If you watched the games then you would know he has thrown outside more than people give him credit. This video is a bit misleading.

@@newerax1009 no it isn’t

@@newerax1009 I couldn't disagree more. Idc if he's throwing outside, all their big plays come over the middle of the field. I watch the games. Without sounding like an @sshole, I watch their film. This video is spot on.

@@mattking6802 Man, you’re everywhere aren’t you 😂 haha - my guy

@@frankl3518 haha you’re good mate I know you’re not being an ass. I watch the games as well but I think it’s more complicated than that. They try to take away the middle but they can’t 100%. The screens, out routes, deep crossers, deep outs are apart of our offensive scheme too and has been hit consistently with Jimmy. It’s too hard to purely focus on the middle with this offense. You can try, yes. But that won’t mean long term success bc of all the moving pieces in Shanny’s offense.

Russel Wilson

Kyler Murray

Most short QBs

Thanks Tony! I did videos on Russ and Kyler about how they can't see the middle of the field, I'd definitely say those two

He's in like his 10th year, I don't think his deep accuracy is suddenly going to improve. He is what he is

Thanks Moore

Thanks brother! I agree, I think Jimmy in a different system would be in a train wreck. Russ in a "typical" system would also be a train wreck. If you're not doing everything you can to emphasize your QB's abilities, you're not a good coach

@@AlexRollinsNFL as we are seeing through the first 7 weeks with Denver. Seattle played to Wilson's strengths and did their best to mask his weaknesses

Thanks man

Hmmm he actually jumps slightly early and attempts to make the catch on the way down. Definitely off his hands, not chest. The ball is under-thrown. He has a step, and has to flatten out his route which allows the corner to play through his hands and force the incomplete. Coulda been caught with a better timed jump (high point). Also coulda been thrown where he wouldn’t need to break stride and adjust route. Ultimately missed opportunity!

Yeah!! Jumping off stuff is great!

Got you!

Hey brother. I think it's super fun, but idk how much better it makes them this season. I think it's obviously to improve for this season, but also to create an ecosystem of legends around Trey to make sure he hits. I think if you gave KS truth serum, he'd tell you he's super worried about Trey.

Thanks Michael! It's something all QBs practice, some are good at certain things, others are good at others. JG is just not good throwing outside
