Fact is they got to the Championship game despite Jimmy G, rather than because of him. He has 4 good targets in Deebo, Aiyuk, Jennings and Kittle, but hasn't had a +100 passer rating since the Falcons game in week 16. In the 5 games since then he threw 4 TDs and 7 picks. Sadly, when the pressure was on in the 4th quarter, it went exactly as most of us expected. He did well to get rid of the ball a couple of times to avoid getting sacked early in the game, but he has been playing long enough to know that with a minute odd left and on 3rd down you just take the sack and make sure you have 1 last chance to make a play. Who knows if Lance will be any better, but he will be able to use his legs better to run the ball, something that just wasn't an option for Jimmy. I do have a lot of sympathy for Jimmy. When he first came in to replace Beathard and co he did look the part, 5-0 from his first 5 starts with a struggling team was impressive. The contract the 49ers stumped up for the following year was ludicrous though, but that gets pinned on Lynch rather than Jimmy. He then tears his ACL, and although he wasn't the most mobile QB before the injury, he was virtually static after it. Other injuries since then haven't helped either. Fact remains though that the 49ers record with him in the team was far better than any of his backups and immediate predecessors could manage.
