Per game:
132 yards - .7 touchdowns - 1 interception
The team made it to the Super Bowl and NFC championship game in spite of Jimmy not because of him. He was in the right place at the right time.
Statistically, he is a negative. He isn't even neutral like Dilfer was during the Ravens SB run or Peyton during the Broncos run. He isn't Pat or Burrow or even Flacco who's performances carried their teams. He is often the main reason we lose in the playoffs due to turnovers and because he could hit a WIDE OPEN RECEIVER is the reason we lost that Super Bowl.
Feel as good as you want about this regular season, but we know shytty Jimmy is coming as soon as the playoffs gets here. This is all fools gold.
In all fairness though…. In the SB though
He played REALLY good them 3.5 qtrs.
Like it wasn’t just the DEFENSE or they was playing IN SPITE of him.
He was doing his thing and the only thing that was holding him back more was the self inflicted stuff or bullshyt by other players. (Ala the Kittles catch before the half)
It’s kinda disingenuous to keep throwing that at him. As we all know if things would’ve continued to go out way. No one on Defense was getting the MVP and it wouldnt have been “pity” given too him either
I think we get it and fine with it now, when he plays bad, he deserves to hear that shyt.
But when he plays well and we win, it’s fair to at minimum call it a good game and keep it moving to the next week. He was beat up for the last 2 weeks, he came back stronger this week and his should be given a break for the next 2
