Game Day XVI – New Year, New Season, New QB

Let’s hope we don’t play like Betty White..

A true original. RIP, Betty.

And Dan (Mr uptight) Reeves died as well. The guy who shackled John Elway and lost a couple Super Bowls.

    Rover looked fairly average except when one considers it was his 2nd start. Considering that, he actually looked pretty good.

    The bad: He is a one read QB and locks on. He missed two wide open receivers on his interception but all QBs do that. He took hits he did not need to take but stepped out of bounds when if he took a hit would have had a first down. He needs better instincts. The instincts are the one thing that worries me going forward. You either have them or you don’t. It is often called the ‘it factor’.

    The good: He avoided some pressure and made plays where I think Jimmy would’ve been sacked. He made some impressive throws the JG can’t make. You could see the game slowing down and the play calling getting better from the first to the second half. I think Shanahan is still learning how to call plays for him.

    All in all, I liked what I saw. I’d like to see better instincts but that that should come as he the game slows down for him. After what we just saw I think it is definitely time for Jimmy to move over and let Rover take over.

    BTW, I think Rover is a good nickname for him because he is a good scrambler.

    When you need to win to get in scenario, the bottom line Shanny’s going with Jimmy G if he’s healthy enough.Trey is just too green with not enough snaps and reps for the season,and even though he looked better in the 2nd half,it’s the Texans he was playing not the Rams!
    And even though the 49ers are definitely in the Rams psyche with 5 straight wins, Trey would struggle more against that defense with Ramsey,Darnold,Miller etc.It’s Trey’s team next year but it’s Jimmy’s team that gives them they’re best chance to get in the playoffs..

    What was encouraging to me was Shanny stopped with the fucking read option runs. They are slow developing and worthless. We CAN straight run the ball so why fuck around with that?

    The pick was a bad read, and Kittle wasn;t the designed guy to get the ball. The game did slow down for him as it went on, and I think Shanny even got into a bit of a roll with him.

    Good to see going forward because Jimmy isn’t coming back.

    Dante Witner on KNBR this morning predicts that if JG is ready to go he will be the QB for the Rams and the playoffs

    Wel, that’s exactly what Shanny said. Shanny immediately after that said Jimmy won’t be ready.

    Here’s a grain of salt . . .
