Here's the deal. I think Jimmy could take a step up in his 3rd year. Year 3 is where we normally see most QB's progress. The knock on him is can he stay healthy. It seems every other season he's out.
Even if we do keep Jimmy I think its clear that we need to upgrade our backup QB position. Mullens and Beathard aint it.
But Jimmy been in the league for 7 years and this is his fourth with the Niners. Besides not being a top tier arm talent and gun shy he's only been healthy one of those four seasons.
How long we gonna keep banking on a possible. The best ability is availability and this motherfucker is rarely available. We need a young vet to replace him and draft a QB soughta like we did four years ago when we got Jimmy except we need somebody better.
