He is also the very worst QB in the NFL at throwing to the outside...
As the season progressed and the players became more familiar with Spags system..he was able to adapt to their individual strengths. He was also able to start creatively disguising the coverages pre-snap.
It'll be interesting if the 49ers get in passing situations...if the Chiefs crowd the middle of the field and bait Grape-boy into an INT or force him to throw outside..where he is not very good.
I think this is one of the keys to beating them...
I'm not really that worried about their run game...KC has had two weeks of watching the Packers film. They ran a LOT that game. If they can shut down Henry...when NE and Baltimore couldn't...I think they can stop it just enough to force a few punts.
49ers have not been good in their 2nd half adjustments...both Seattle and Green Bay staged comebacks. They also have not be as effective against QB's with similar mobility...and definitely haven played anyone with his arm strength. I like Reid with 2 weeks to prepare...KC has outscored their opponents 37-14 in the 2nd half this post-season.
Sherman is going to require help to handle Hill's speed...and he usually is lined up on one side of the field. I think Andy is going to have a handful of plays to exploit Tyreek deliberately drawing double coverage to Richard's side (decoy). Watkins could have another good game..
