This is sports. Futurerite and Niner fans can make their argument. Seattle fans can disagree. It doesn't matter because it will all be decided on the field. All that matters to Seattle fans is that if Jimmy G fails, the Niners fail. If Jimmy G succeeds, then we have a rival we must respect. We'll see over the next few years.
You are right, I judged CK to be better than he ended up being. But the truth is, he was a good QB - no matter how people try to twist and make him appear awful. And he should still be a starter in this league, an above 90 rating QB in the right situation. Did he turn out to be as good as RW? No. I give the man his due. He has now put up the numbers and is generally great in the clutch situations. He is an upper level talent and the difference between him, CK and others is that he can succeed under adverse situations, doesn’t need the “right” situation.
And you are right about JG. We will see over time. We like all the legit things we’ve seen so far. Time will tell.
