We get it.....you don't like the hype surrounding Jimmy G and the five games in which he started meant NOTHING ....even though two of those games were against two AFC playoff teams that were playing for PO positioning / a PO spot. THEY were playing for something and they lost to Jimmy G's Niners. The young man can play and the Rams will now have to face him twice a year. Take a look at the stats below. I guess in order to have these types of stats and improvements not only did he and the Niners play for nothing, the five opposing defenses were as well.
