Hmmm? We're moving the goalposts now? If we're gonna cherry pick, how about the three games before New Orleans when he had 7 touchdowns and 1 interception averaging 280 yards a game? He went toe to toe with an elite QB on the road. End of story. But if you want to shift the focus to the next few games the 49ers have gone 4-1 with him since that game in New Orleans, making plays when it mattered, which ultimately all that does matter. Not his fantasy football numbers.
"Haven't faced a QB like Mahomes since Lamar". Uhh...Russell Wilson bro? Who will probably finish second in the MVP race, and bested Mahomes a year ago, is a real pushover? Lamar just lost to Ryan Tannehill's squad at home.
Shanahan is 4-20 without Jimmy. He just helps the team win, and that is the "scariest part" of any team, the ability to consistently win.
Never insinuated that the 49ers were a slam dunk to win, I'm talking about Jimmy. I'm saying that the doubts about Jimmy's ability to step up, when he's already done so a few times this season (especially in last few games of the season when the 49ers defensively were hurting) has already been on display. Yet folks are still "Errmm...I dunno...he didn't throw 50 touchdowns though...."
