Click above for every Jimmy Garoppolo play vs. Dallas. This is my way of saying…I’m not sure what to think of Jimmy G heading into Lambeau Field on the frozen tundra.
I didn’t think there were any real surprises on Super Wild Card Week-End. I thought the San Fran vs. Dallas game had the most potential for a great game. The Joe Burrow vs. Derek Carr game held together for a watchable game. Otherwise in a word the other four games were …unwatchable games with three quarterbacks in Kyler Murray, Mac Jones, and Jalen Hurts going down to lopsided defeats along with retiring Big Ben.
I would say this to Caleb Williams’ father… it wasn’t a stellar weekend for Lincoln Riley’s NFL Quarterback Prep School.
This to me just reinforces how critical the quarterback position is once you get to the NFL Playoffs. Jimmy G actually played fairly well till he threw that horrible fourth quarter pick which gave the pathetic Dallas Cowboys some hope they never should have had given the physical whipping they took in the first three quarters.
But now we’re to the Divisional Round…which for me is the best week-end of NFL football played every year. Obviously…I’m moving Jimmy G the enigma down on my Divisional Round Quarterback rankings…but, I’m not giving hope up on Jimmy G just yet. That’s why we play the games on the field and not on the internet.
Kyle Shanahan has to have that very private Al Pocino to Willie Beamon conversation this week and basically say, ” Jimmy… John Lynch and I have a Super Bowl team in need of a Super Bowl quarterback. Are you that guy or not?”
Seems pretty simple to me.
I think all four games this weekend have great potential for us fervent NFL fans… but I’m a Packer fan who’s intrigued by what I think Jimmy G should be as a quarterback, but some reasons just seem to have some quarterback demons holding him back. Hopefully… both Bosa and Warner are a go so we NFL fans get to see this game played to its full potential.
