How are the 49ers so good with an overpaid, mediocre QB?

[CowboyFFan]

Jimmy G has a higher cap hit than Dak this year.
He is 5-1 in his playoff career with 2 TD, 5 INT, 121 YDS/G and 70 passer rating.
Maybe Cowboy fans have supremely overrated the talent on this Dallas roster?

BECAUSE ITS NOT ABOUT THE QB!!!!

Lesson learned.

 

[Aven8]

One reason is they built there Dline sucking for years. They also got Trent Williams after he held out and got him for nothing.

Most importantly Shanny can coach!

 

[The Natural]

Cowboy fans havent overrated the talent on this roster. Its a good team. All we needed was for our damn quarterback to show up last week and we’d be getting ready for Tampa in a couple of hours.

 

[SDCowboy]

They are much better coached, and have a better defense. The thought of this team winning a playoff game by only scoring 13 points is laughable.

Both of yesterday's games should eliminate any question that defense wins championships and that coaching matters.

 

[Sydla]

Great coach

Great defense, they invest in the DL

Built a strong run game to protect the QB (this is also due to Shanahan who is arguably one of the best run game schemers in the NFL).

Bruh, both winning QB's yesterday had a combined ZERO touchdowns.

9ers haven’t won squat yet and their QB sucks.

It hasn’t caught up to them yet but Brady, Stafford, Burrow, Mahomes, and Allen are all still playing.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

They over emphasized pass rush. They had so many good pass rushers they had to trade Forester to the Colts

Because The players on the 49ers have bought into wanting to win a championship more then making business decisions.

or maybe they pressure the quarterback, run at will, protect their quarterback and our fundamentally sound enough to the point where they can hide Jimmy g’s shortcomings

Hmmm… If that’s right then they shouldn’t have paid their QB 40 million.

If you can win with sucky QBs like Jimmy G then we should use the money to build a team and not spend it on a do nothing QB.

Coaching
Defense
Disciplined team

However as someone stated there's 4 great quarterbacks left

Different circumstances, we didnt play SF in the elements. A 40 million dollar QB has to deliver indoors, at home.

 

[Blackrain]

BECAUSE ITS NOT ABOUT THE QB!!!!

Lesson learned.

Exactly because it's about an entire team buying into winning a championship and being accountable to one another and for their mistakes.

Not a group of guys like we have that are out to promote their brand, Make business decisions and extend their careers for maximum monetary yield mimicking their owners philosophy.

 

[Creeper]

The 49ers don't ask Jimmy G to carry the team on his shoulders. The run a far more balanced offense that the Cowboys. If the Cowboys had a running game and Dak threw only 25 times a game, I bet they would be a better team.

But then they need to get stronger on defense.

Just a thought, but Dallas will commit $151 million in CAP space to offense in 2022 and just $63 million to defense. The 49ers will put $99 million into the offense and $87 million into the defense. Of course these numbers will change but the point is, until the Cowboys are willing to build a defense that wins games instead of depending on throwing 50 times a game they will never make it through the playoffs without a tremendous amount of good fortune.

How about owner that puts winning a championship above everything else and is willing to sacrifice whatever it takes including his own comfort to get it done

 

[Bobhaze]

Coaching, culture, and a good GM with a plan he sticks to. They also have an owner that knows he needs to hire a real GM to win championships. Pretty straightforward.

 

[lukin2006]

They have better management and much, much better coaching…

To be fair when Garrap signed with SF he was the highest paid QB in football. It’s just inflation now
