We were 3-10 last year without Jimmy G, and now we're in the Super Bowl with the #4 total offense and #2 scoring offense.
I survived the Alex Smith/Troy Smith/Nate Davis/JT O'Sullivan/etc... years.
Jimmy G is legit.
He's not on Mahomes's level (no one is). I'm just saying, don't expect some scrub who's gonna be shook by a blitz or a defender in his face or whatever.

Alex Smith came to KC and took a 2-14 chiefs team that was the worst in the NFL. They were dead last 32 of 32 in total offense. When Smith took over they won their first 9 games, finished 11-5 and ranked #6 in total offense.
So he basically did the same exact thing Jimmy did this year but lost in the playoffs despite Smith throwing for 360 yards and 4 td’s in one game because the Bob Sutton defense blew the biggest lead in playoff history.
