I think we have an advantage when comparing QBs as much as the next guy, but too many posters are painting Jimmy Garapolo to be an Alex Smith clone. Yes, Jimmy plays the game manager role. But he has a higher YPA than Mahomes does this year. Just wanted to point that out.

LMAO - I knew you'd get there soon enough.

I think you might find out what a real pass rush looks like in a few weeks. We are not the weak and helpless Texans and Titans who can't get to your QB.

He’s also MUCH more likely to throw a dumb INT.

That’s why even if he’s a little better than Alex, he’s probably in the same tier.

Yards per attempt…

Jimmy Garoppolo: 8.4
Patrick Mahomes: 8.3

No one is saying Garoppolo is a better QB than Mahomes, but the facts are simple: The 49ers have a very capable passing game, and that’s what is ultimately relevant to this Super Bowl:

Throwing wasn't much of an option against Baltimore for Jimmy. Mahomes also played Baltimore, where throwing was an option to the tune of 374 yds and 3 TDs.

It's amazing all of these turd 49ers argue exactly like all of the turds that came over who sucked Alex Smith's cock.

Maybe the Chiefs have seen some of it in practice? I think Andy Reid does some of this.

The idea that SF runs some kind of revolutionary offense that Reid couldn't draw up on a napkin from Q39 is laughable.

....Because of weather.....

We play Bosa and Ingram twice a year.

We had to deal with Ngakoue/Campbell/Allen week 1

Yea yours is better/deeper, but we’ve dealt with an elite pass rush three times this season, and your secondary isn’t nearly as good as the Jags/Chargers.

Those elite pass rush teams with better DB’s kept us under 30 once, and that was when Mahomes was still getting healthy on an absolute shit field that neutralized our speed.

Except Mahomes was banged up for 90% of the season with zero run game to help slow down pass rushers. Andy went to a shorter passing game to help protect Mahomes from further injury. Smart strategy. But I am gonna ask the question. Give Mahomes the Niners run game and what do you think his yards per attempt would be?

I agree with that. Dont agree with your second line, but whatever. We are all rooting for us to make him look like Tyler Thigpen.

Look up David Lombardi on Twitter.

The point of my post was not to compare him to Mahomes. Mahomes is worlds better. My point was that Jimmy is much better than most are making him out to be.

Well, the first bit isn't really an analysis. A list of injuries to key personnel more than anything.

The last two lines are a very abbreviated type of analysis, I guess. Not entirely mine though.

The TEN game, for example, I went through a lengthy examination of that game right after it happened, and concluded that a large part of the loss was due to the offense leaving at least two probable scoring plays on the field. I gave the team a pass because it was Pat's first game back and there was bound to be a little rust. But the fact remained that Pat over-threw an easy TD to Hill by a yard.

Also, while the defense allowed four TDs, they also forced 4 punts and 2 turnovers. Limiting the Titans offense to just 40% scoring possessions, in spite of the fact that Henry ran for 188 yards. It was, IMO, really a premature snap and a block kick that cost the team the game. None of this was not a popular theory at the time. Probably still isn't.
