The ridiculous amount of knowledge you have about the nuances of football continues to blow my mind. Please don't ever stop making these videos and keep up the amazing work. I'm surprised your channel hasn't blown up even more by now.
@phillip: They are for the average fan or even average analyst you see on television. And apparently it's a nuance if a top-shelf quarterback can't get it right!
This is on the internet and he can easily look this video up or someone will show it to him or someone has already told him to work on it and he, of course, will work on it. When he becomes even more accurate (he has already thrown some unbelievable throws that made me "Wow! How did he find that hole?") then he will be even scarier.
The fact that he has weaknesses means he can improve to be a better QB than he was now. Coupled with the fact that the Niners will certainly target more FAs and not spend a top pick on a QB means the sky's the limit for the offense.
IMO he's too good for ESPN or really any major network. I dropped cable years ago, but I never remember any ESPN show/video ever going remotely close to this kind of detail. While I'm sure some of the people at ESPN have the same amount of knowledge Brett has, I get the strong sense they are forced to keep everything super simple. I personally hate that approach yet understand why they do it and think that it would severely limit Brett's ability to make great content. So hopefully this channel keeps growing and Brett can make the same salary an ESPN employee would while having full control over his content. As that would be a win-win for everyone.
Funny how a good QB solves a team’s problems. Makes me wonder about the good teams of the past who got deep into the playoffs or won the whole thing with mediocre QB play, such as the 2000 Ravens, the 2006 Bears, or the 2015 Broncos.
Michael Ford, well... when you say literally anyone... it could've been worse. Put me in there, guaranteed that team doesn't make it to the Super Bowl. But yes, a better QB could've easily won not just one super bowl, but perhaps multiple.
Brett Kollmann ,., Why are you not making millions of dollars assisting NFL teams to evaluate players and making corrections? i mean he was with the Patriots for 3 years and nobody notices what you've just explained?
Yea i'm sure a lot of his positive traits were learned in the few years behind Brady in NE, and those things aren't taught overnight so they probably didn't end up getting around to his footwork before they traded him because his skillset would've been fine to win games in their system had Brady gotten hurt. I hope for the sake of good football that he improves and NE trading him is more of their belief in Brady rather than a lack of faith in Jimmy G.
Josh Bass it was purely a belief in Brady, that's why they held on to him so long. Literally the first time I've seen or heard Belicheck express any kind of emotion was when they traded Jimmy G, they held onto him for the longest time they could. If Jimmy G would have told them he'd resign for a million a year, they would have definitely kept him, but Jimmy expressed his intent on testing the FA market, and they simply can't afford Brady and Garopolo, so they had to move him, they couldn't get nothing from the work they put in him. They believed in Garoppolo, it mainly became a dollar and cents issue
I'm sure the Pats worked with Jimmy on this. One thing I will say, I hope Jimmy does not change his short and mid-range game due to trying to adjust for the longer throws. No other QB (maybe only a couple) could have taken the 49ers, this far. And yes, have to agree it's the quick release that is bailing out the 49ers.
I really do not want him to "fix" this "flaw." I just want him to be more aware of it so he will be able to choose when not to do it. It actually HELPS him on the short/intermediate stuff, because it allows him to get the ball out faster and at awkward angles to beat the rush. It does hurt him on the deep game, though. This is why I want him to master the ability to choose when to break the rules, so to speak. In a clean pocket on a deep pass, I want him to transfer his weight correctly. On a short pass where his arm is enough to get the ball there, by all means, keep doing what works.
Just like he said, the NFL is a better product when the 49ers are relevant. And with a projected $116 million in cap space plus draft picks, Jimmy G and the Niners have a very promising future.
MegaAbomb You weren't the only one. Like you said though, at least you were man enough to admit it. 90% of people who called him Matt Flynn 2.0 are gonna say that they always knew he'd be great.
Sarcastic Squash I think the Vikings are better too. But statistically the Jaguars were the number one defense going into that game against the niners.
I'm a niner fan and a Jimmy G fanboy, and I loved this video. Thanks brett love your vids!!! Wish Jimmy would see this video so he can start fixing his footwork.
Jefferson Guerra definitely true. the encyclopedia of plays that shanahan has would've been very intimidating for him to comprehend within 2-3 weeks. clean up the technique & improve the o-line & recievers, this team would be a postseason contender evert year
I sure hope not, at least not how Brett is talking. This "mechanical flaw" helps him get the ball out faster. It HURTS him on deep passes, yes. But it HELPS him on short and shorter ranged intermediate passes in the face of the rush.
Can you do a video on Cameron Jordan’s ‘Triple Double’ (double digit TFLs sacks and pass break ups). And how he manages to be so versatile in every phase of the game.
You killed it with this one! I've been so impressed with how quickly he makes decisions in the short-intermediate passing game. Def his strongest trait. But I also noticed he was "falling away" from some of his throws - thank you for breaking down the nitty gritty of his mechanics like that!
It's hard to perfect fundamentals when you're not getting any blocking. Garoppolo and Shannahan are doing about all they can do with that roster right now. If they have a good FA signing period and draft, the 49ers can make waves next season.
Excuses excuses. He's a good qb but he has bad footwork. Don't make excuses for yourself or your players and coaches and team just because your a fan. Brady isn't Brady by making excuses. He needs to fix his footwork and his flaws and he'll be Brady. I couldn't agree more than with the video. He's getting the ball out incredibly fast but missing on long shots and accuracy by poor footwork. He has good decision making and awesome coaches. I expect they'll clean this up within the next year and perfect it in the next two or three and you'll be watching a younger Brady kicking my hawks ass left and right if we don't fix our own shit storm. Good luck!!
Cardy Konz well no shit Sherlock lol I was there. But I've watched great qbs go from good qbs into great ones by changing their arm rotation, improving their release, improving their strength and conditioning and their footwork and hip rotation. Your probably one of those idiots that can't understand I'm actually impressed and looking forward to watching the 49ers get even better because that's what good people and real fans do. They realize football is better for it because rivalries improve, players and coaches increase in skill and intelligence and scheme, and honestly I don't like bad teams reaching the playoffs when they play like garbage or didn't deserve it. I guess you just wanna hate. While I'm over here rooting for this dude to become the next Brady and Rogers. So suck it ya 49whiner
Realistically Seahawks are in rebuild mode while rams should take #1 and 49ers could take #2 with a good 8-10 wins depending upon their progression and Seahawks and cardinals regression. Unfortunately there's only one bellicheck that can plug and play and reach and win in the playoffs year in year out.
Man times have changed. Will Jimmy be healthy next season? Will the Niners draft a QB in the 2021 Draft? Just needed to see this again to remember how much of a change Jimmy was for us.
This is the most honest and thorough breakdown of Jimmy Garappolo there is. Offers both strengths and weaknesses of JG and these are the same exact things I noticed about him dating back to EIU and his few games with Patriots. This is a must watch for all. Good Work!
Have been saying it the past couple of weeks, the 49ers are going to be the dynasty of the 20s. Coming from a Broncos fan. They have an amazing west coast system again in Shanahan and a QB who has spent the last 4 years learning that system from the GOAT Brady. Is like Walsh and Montana all over again. Need a star WR though.
I dont think people realize how dynasties work. Theres a reason why theres only been one dynasty since the beginning of the century. I cant see the 9ers being s dynasty just because they have garoppolo
As a 49ers fan I'm glad you covered the good AND the bad. That's what makes your videos so great. You dont get caught up in the hype and ignore or downplay flaws in a players game.
Please do the Saints defense, like a comparison of the 2014-2016 seasons and how different they are in 2017. Or even see how they compare to their 2009 run. Please and thank you.
Awesome stuff as usual. Love that you got around to a video for my team and jimmy G. I like hearing the criticisms too with solid analysis. Impressive work
marchenoir44 they probably already knew which is possibly why they didn’t want jimmy G playing at all this year, cause bad habits are hard to break especially with qbs, but this mechanical issue is worth fixing because they lightning fast release forces defense to stick to their guys like glue to even get a chance at making a play
Once Jimmy and Young Shanny get the hips involved properly in his release this off season, you will see the long ball back in the Niners offense with Marquis Goodwin.
Thanks Brett so much for your videos...as a 16 year old who wants to be involved in the world of football in any way, these videos help out a ton much love!
You're the best evaluator of NFL talent I've seen in my life. I'm a 49er fan who loves Garoppolo and thought he had no flaws, but then you go on to talk about all of his flaws and I cannot disagree with you. Tremendous job. I love your work.
His flaws remind me of Bradford. Of course, when healthy, Bradford is quite decent, however the lack of hip rotation limits his downfield velocity and accuracy. Hopefully Jimmy G can fix that as it would really limit his upside.
these mechanics are interesting....in martial arts for a nice solid hit when you deliver a rear hand punch you want the foot and knee slightly closed when delivering the punch because the energy weight transfers from the back leg to the front then moves up and across the body to the extremities ....do baseball pitchers turn out their front foot I don't think i've seen that really...i guess the slight pivot to open the foot to the target must be specific to football.
I love this! Something for me as a fan of the team to keep an eye on. I heard comments on his feet and hips during the games, and you just detailed everything nicely. Great work!
Tom Brady's former QB tutor the late great Tom Martinez of San Mateo college, coached to lock the front foot inward as Garappolo does. This was to prevent the hips and upper body from over rotating and having the ball pulled to the side. He was adamant about staying in the sagittal plane, making sure your mechanics operated in a straight line so you would never miss left and right. I was fortunate enough to attend his last QB camp before cancer took him from us 7 years ago. I have no idea if this coaching point exists in New England with Brady still, but I was surprised when you referred to it as a flaw. Great video! Thanks!
As an immigrant , naturalized American citizen I was always into football but since I didn’t grow up with it, it looked like organized chaos. So, I watched it knowing there was a method to the madness;however, there were nobody to explain it or break it down the way you do.All these commentators and football fans around me were talking garbage and I knew I wanted to know more than just the on the surface talk that goes on in the office. I am glad I found your account and subscribed. I watch football with a totally different perspective now and I enjoy it more. Thank you. One last thing : Could you also enlighten us about the way coaches or the guys in the boxes think and adjust the play please? I want to tackle that known unknown as well. Thanks
Can some one correct me if I'm wrong~~~ I feel like *if a QB cannot throw the ball finishing with the snap of the wrist, they will not have much success in the NFL.* I say this bcuz Ive watched *Dak Prescott* since he came in to the league and his throwing motion is so painful to look at. For one, Dak uses his shoulder far too much than needed. For two, he cannot gently but quickly lob the ball to nearby players with just a flick of the wrist. This is why i feel that *he's having such accuracy problems.* His mechanics is so messed up that not many ppl are actually *taking notice* With *jimmy G* on the other hand, he throws the ball so effortlessly. You can see how easily he flicks the ball off his hand....and the throws are very accurate! Its crazy how even a big guy like *Big Ben* can flick the ball off but not Dak. I hope someone agrees with me *P.S.* to my fellow *Bears🐻* fans....Our GM, Ryan Pace *needs to hire an offensive minded coach to help Trubisky get better* ~~From McVay to Kyle Shanahan, they have shown us how rookie QBs can have success in the NFL. This is whats needed for Trubisky. 💯
Ty Reek well maybe bcuz he doesnt trust in his throwing ability. He knows he has to wind up to throw the ball, hes unable to flick the ball off like Rodger,Wilson,Ben,Brees,Ryan. He literally has to use his whole body thmo throw a somewhat fast ball. I hate this and i feel like this is the reason for his problems.
It's rather asinine to compare a veteran to a guy that's still on his Rookie contract. Dak is, by no means, dumb. He's not great, and he knows it, so he's gonna put in work because he knows that he has to. Being without Zeke showed that much. He'll look much better for the 2018 season.
but do we have a good offensive if we do find another GOOD QB? if we find another QB that's as good as jimmy Garoppolo or baker Mayfield then my cowboys are going to be ELITE. cowboys defense are the second best under Baltimore and if we draft that QB then we might just get a few more rings like we did back in the 90's.
He should be a pro bowler in the next couple seasons. What your pointing out is most likely what his coaches are watching and gonna make him work on it this offseason.
Definitely looking forward to us playing you now instead of the shithawks. Ton or respect for Wilson, but can't stand them! Hopefully we beat up on them for years to come (you guys always play them pretty tough) and we edge you out for number 6. The quest begins again! BTW, good luck this year.
Brett thanks for doing this breakdown. Easily my favourite channel. Not only is the content great and informative. You read the comments good or bad. I know these probably take alot of your time so I appreciate the hard work.
Biggest problem of his quick release: he gets hit like a mother. If he keeps taking shots like that he’ll be lucky to last next season without a broken bone.
Ya he gets pummeled some times. We need to make our O line a priority this off season! That's where championship teams start! I have faith in Lynch and Shannahan tho.
Micah Harkins It’s not even about the o line. It’s that he sees pressure coming and he stares it down, knowing he will get lit up, and gets rid of the ball at the very last second and then takes a big hit on purpose. This habit will lead to serious injury.
+Donald D I respectfully disagree. Watch how Beadles got beat on nearly every single play he was in at right tackle. If he had a better Oline, he'd be throwing those same passes but from a clean pocket.
This was exactly what I was asking for on Twitter. Thank you. As a 'Niners fan, I'm really excited but I was seeing the same thing. Nice to see someone break it down so eloquently.
What a storehouse of dissective skills you have, Bret!! Bravo!!! I love JG and what I've learnt from your video makes me even more convinced that JG is the Franchise QB for the 49ers. And, I do believe that Kyle will work with JG as they go through the films and work on fixing his flaws. Thus far, he never had the opportunity to start in multiple games and now those game speed limitations can be unearthed, as he continues to start, and worked on. All in all, an excellent trade for the 49ers
not really, lots of the Deep Balls have been drops or the players cant "get there". I think with improved WRs, TEs (or atleast not rookies) he will improve
The last thing any athlete wants is for some random dude telling him what he's doing wrong when that random dude has never set foot on the field... just leave the man alone and have him work on his flaws at his own time aka off-season.
Razeo it's better to know what your flaws are from someone who has a bunch of videos on players pros and cons that type of ego wouldnt take anybody anywhere so yea if it was a bum off the street then I'd see what your saying but when it is someone who watches hours of film and knows what he's talking about I'd take notes
That's not the point, fact of the matter is Jimmy has no clue who this guy is nor what his qualifications are. As far as he's concerned, this is just some random dude who's been watching alot of football games for the past 20-30 yrs at his local bar despite his quality play by play breakdowns. And its pretty safe to say that his coaching staff; especially Kyle Shanahan and Rich Scangarello (QB coach) are already aware of this and any other flaws in his game who without a doubt already has a ton of film on Jimmy compared to anyone else.
And I thought I was smart. Seriously, this is amazingly good. Bravo. I will say though that one aspect that was overlooked is that of pocket presence; the ability to move as little as necessary, as late as possible, while keeping his eyes downfield that is perhaps the most important skill a quarterback can have. And Jimmy has got it. Bigtime.
That extra torque issue/leg not moving may be the reason he didn't win the SB. Remember that pass he failed on the last drive where he overthrew Sanders?
@Brett Kollmann I’m looking at this video again two years later with all the Jimmy G talk because i remember your analysis and at the time your concerns were well noticed. He has the same problems in 2020 missing wide open receivers 20-30 yds downfield as his footwork is, of course, still terrible and much more since his injuries on the knee and ankle...(Brett Koll)Man you were spot on !!! Kudos to you 👍🏽👏🏽
I think some of the flaws you mentioned come as a product of being behind a terrible offensive line and being rushed. Look him up in college and he was better on the things you mentioned. It should be improved once he gets more comfortable and confident in the guys blocking upfront for him and isn't pressured to get the ball out so quick. Tbh this analysis gets me more excited because it shows it isn't a lack of arm strength but a lack of mechanics and proper footwork. He's making these throws with all arm strength imagine when he gets his lower body involved.
The question becomes: will he work on it? And does he know that he needs to? That's my only concern. Because the OP made a point: 3 years into his tenure, someone should have pointed this out by now. Other than that, he's great. Can't wait for football season to start! And don't troll me for this post.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Brett also mentioned that he tries to rescue unrescuable plays which is exactly how he tore his ACL. He had him pegged from the start lol
Thank you Brett! As a 49er fan I was telling my friends that I loved everything that Jimmy G did but I was worried that his throws 20+ always seemed to have a bit too much air / or seemed to float. Your breakdown was perfect. I'm subscribed.
Honestly, people are gonna come back to this video and sarcastically say it 'aged well', but Brett was right here. Jimmy was who we needed to win at the time, and you and I would probably be lying if we were to say that Jimmy had no role at all during that awesome 2019-20 season. If Trey pans out as a QB, Jimmy's gone for sure. But a lot -- admittedly not most -- of our success in 2019-20 was because of Jimmy G.
The 49ers and Jimmy have all the time they need to perfect his throwing motion and footwork. As long time 49er fans (like me) we are thrilled that we have this ball of talent. He will get better and will be one of the best QB's next year. He reminds me of Dan Marino with Steve Young's legs. He is very special and we love him.
Great video!! I see the same lower body mechanic issues with Trubisky. You should make a film room dissecting his ups and downs this year, and what to expect of him next season, under a RPO/West coast coach...
Just an awesome video. Let’s see how his footwork looks next pre season. I told two coworkers, whom are Rams fans, that the Niners would cause problems next year in the division. They just scoffed at me. These are the same Rams fans I told that the Rams would win the division before the season started.
Awesome video! Nice to see so mechanic break down of jimmy’s game. Hoping he puts in the work on his footwork and Sf invests in some oline and jimmy and sf will be nightmares to deal with again.
Very good presentation.I agree.I love Jimmy G .Yes the deep ball is what needs work.I cant believe how good he is with so few starts .I see him pass in places and wonder how the hell he did it.Never seen anything like it.I think Jimmy is Jimmy i havent seen anything like him.Sometimes i see Montana sometimes i see Brady .Sometimes i see Marino.Someimes i see Elway.Finally i can watch 49ers again .He has brought a much needed light with Kyle back .The Kap thing just really killed me.
TheWizardOfOsborne or protecting himself from LB screaming up middle ...funny how Mr robot failed to say that on both inaccurate passes..rushed throws to be great QB in NFL you have to master the rushed, off schedule throw..he didn't say that either.
Razeo that’s actually what I’m talking about. He didn’t completely follow through, especially in his lower body. But I’m not totally counting that against him. With a LB that close, completely shifting your weight to the front leg can result in devastating injury if you get hit low.
He'll no. He's pretty solid at staying with the throw. He's taken some pretty big hits. I watched every game he played this year, and one, you should want your QB to shy away from those type of hits but two, I've watched him hang in there, get nailed and still hit his WR
He's been on the bench for most of his NFL career. That can lead to an odd situation where some aspects of his game are highly refined and others are neglected, depending on what the coaches focus on. Clearly the NEP coaches focused on quick release and good situational play. Just as clearly, there's some other areas he could get better at.
I was stationed in Virginia Beach from 2001-2008. I used to get laughed out of bars for wearing my Niner jerseys. I left and came back in 2012 and all I saw was Niner hats, jerseys, flags. I can't stand that shit. Same thing is going to happen this year too. Dam fair weather fans. Lol
You need to be the most subscribed sports channel like more then all of them combined it's just amazing how you anilyz and explain things I've learned more from you than from any sports show or channel combined
Brett, your videos are amazing and incredibly detailed. As a Niners fan, I greatly appreciate your in-depth analysis of Garoppolo's pros and cons. Your objective analysis is always appreciated and beyond impressive. Thank you for your videos!
I'd prefer all-pro because its more exclusive and pro bowl nods are basically a joke. For instance Mathew slater from the pats got a pro bowl nod even though he's like the 12th ranked special teams player on the Patriots this year. Pro bowl is based more on past performance, name recognition and playing for a good/popular team than talent.
Ned Gold I know and that's why Jimmy G is kinda likely to get in, maybe even as a replacement to Rodgers or someone with playoffs on their mind. Really doubt he'll be able to make all-pro team though since that's a real challenge.
The ridiculous amount of knowledge you have about the nuances of football continues to blow my mind. Please don't ever stop making these videos and keep up the amazing work. I'm surprised your channel hasn't blown up even more by now.
agree
I'm surprised this guy is living off of RUclips and doesn't have a job with espn or gmfb
specialK319319 foot mechanics aren't nuances of football
GangPardos or as a coach in coledge or as an assistant in the NFL
@phillip: They are for the average fan or even average analyst you see on television. And apparently it's a nuance if a top-shelf quarterback can't get it right!
I learn more watching any of your videos in under 20 minutes than hours of any programming put out by ESPN or FOX sports. Keep it up bro
Nicolai Celestain dude mainstream media is so fucked up, all they do is read a teleprompter
The truth!!! x10
tbh espn isn't much more than a sports tabloid these days. wish there was a place for sports coverage like this, without all the spin
When you argument like this with positives first and then negatives i always go: Wow...MVP and then: Oh.. xD
Maximilian Wendland Then it's in between. He's basically saying it's even scarier of he gets that figured out.
This is on the internet and he can easily look this video up or someone will show it to him or someone has already told him to work on it and he, of course, will work on it. When he becomes even more accurate (he has already thrown some unbelievable throws that made me "Wow! How did he find that hole?") then he will be even scarier.
The fact that he has weaknesses means he can improve to be a better QB than he was now. Coupled with the fact that the Niners will certainly target more FAs and not spend a top pick on a QB means the sky's the limit for the offense.
You should be on ESPN
IMO he's too good for ESPN or really any major network. I dropped cable years ago, but I never remember any ESPN show/video ever going remotely close to this kind of detail. While I'm sure some of the people at ESPN have the same amount of knowledge Brett has, I get the strong sense they are forced to keep everything super simple. I personally hate that approach yet understand why they do it and think that it would severely limit Brett's ability to make great content. So hopefully this channel keeps growing and Brett can make the same salary an ESPN employee would while having full control over his content. As that would be a win-win for everyone.
ESPN is fluff. But I see your point. He should actually be working for a major football program.
he should be a coach or something. he is really smart
What's so great about ESPN?
He should be a scout
Cant wait for draft coverage
Big Mack same I want the videos to start now lol
Ikr!
That throw on the slant was godly.....
For real, not enough people are talking about that throw. That was sublime.
Funny how a good QB solves a team’s problems. Makes me wonder about the good teams of the past who got deep into the playoffs or won the whole thing with mediocre QB play, such as the 2000 Ravens, the 2006 Bears, or the 2015 Broncos.
Dynasty potential if those teams had really good QBs.
yep, it's a QP's league
I wonder how those bears teams would have been if literally anyone besides Rex Grossman was quarterbacking.
Michael Ford, well... when you say literally anyone... it could've been worse. Put me in there, guaranteed that team doesn't make it to the Super Bowl.
But yes, a better QB could've easily won not just one super bowl, but perhaps multiple.
George Daugherty I stand by what I said. Literally anyone else in the NFL would have been much better. Grossman was hot garbage.
Brett Kollmann ,., Why are you not making millions of dollars assisting NFL teams to evaluate players and making corrections? i mean he was with the Patriots for 3 years and nobody notices what you've just explained?
Jon Ross maybe they did but couldnt fix it so they just traded him
Maybe they worked on reads and those 90 degrees elbow. That had to be learned
Yea i'm sure a lot of his positive traits were learned in the few years behind Brady in NE, and those things aren't taught overnight so they probably didn't end up getting around to his footwork before they traded him because his skillset would've been fine to win games in their system had Brady gotten hurt. I hope for the sake of good football that he improves and NE trading him is more of their belief in Brady rather than a lack of faith in Jimmy G.
Josh Bass it was purely a belief in Brady, that's why they held on to him so long. Literally the first time I've seen or heard Belicheck express any kind of emotion was when they traded Jimmy G, they held onto him for the longest time they could. If Jimmy G would have told them he'd resign for a million a year, they would have definitely kept him, but Jimmy expressed his intent on testing the FA market, and they simply can't afford Brady and Garopolo, so they had to move him, they couldn't get nothing from the work they put in him. They believed in Garoppolo, it mainly became a dollar and cents issue
For Belichick, he practically gushed when talking about Jimmy and Kyle Shanihan, in saying even mildly positive things about them.
i'm glad those dislike bots are gone. keep it up!
WarBear I remember you from your big smoke vid, forgot I subbed to you lol
Are you ever gonna fuckin upload comrade?
Tuckey Videos yup! very soon
WarBear good bear
WarBear wtf man I subbed to u a while ago when I first seen your big smoke vid
Jimmy G. The Truth. The Future
Fantasy Couch savior of The Bay
Fantasy Couch thanks to the deflatriots
Jimmy G-sus
Fantasy Couch The last Jedi.
Don't spoil the movie for those that haven't seen it. The part where Jimmy Garoppolo is revealed to be the last jedi is awesome tho
I'm sure the Pats worked with Jimmy on this. One thing I will say, I hope Jimmy does not change his short and mid-range game due to trying to adjust for the longer throws. No other QB (maybe only a couple) could have taken the 49ers, this far. And yes, have to agree it's the quick release that is bailing out the 49ers.
I really do not want him to "fix" this "flaw." I just want him to be more aware of it so he will be able to choose when not to do it. It actually HELPS him on the short/intermediate stuff, because it allows him to get the ball out faster and at awkward angles to beat the rush. It does hurt him on the deep game, though. This is why I want him to master the ability to choose when to break the rules, so to speak. In a clean pocket on a deep pass, I want him to transfer his weight correctly. On a short pass where his arm is enough to get the ball there, by all means, keep doing what works.
Just like he said, the NFL is a better product when the 49ers are relevant. And with a projected $116 million in cap space plus draft picks, Jimmy G and the Niners have a very promising future.
BigThizzle75 jimmy g about to take close to $25 mil of that next year
BigThizzle75 Yes sir
It's amazing when the Cowboys and/or 49ers are relevant. Last season was a fucking blast.
BigThizzle75 if you use that argument, then it would be fair to say the browns are setup for success too
Roy Vice, thank you for taking the words out of my mouth. Brown's have the worst owner in probably all of sports.
god damn do I love your videos. Can't wait for draft coverage
He hung 30+ on the #1 defense. I called him matt cassel 2.0, I'm man enough to admit I was proven wrong
MegaAbomb You weren't the only one. Like you said though, at least you were man enough to admit it. 90% of people who called him Matt Flynn 2.0 are gonna say that they always knew he'd be great.
MegaAbomb he played the jaguars not the vikings
Sarcastic Squash I think the Vikings are better too. But statistically the Jaguars were the number one defense going into that game against the niners.
MegaAbomb he's way better than matt cassel lol
MegaAbomb ..a real man can admit when hes wrong..go niners
I'm a niner fan and a Jimmy G fanboy, and I loved this video. Thanks brett love your vids!!! Wish Jimmy would see this video so he can start fixing his footwork.
bemljj ruclips.net/video/3I40GveOyyg/видео.html
He doesn't need to see it. The professionals are aware. Kyle and crew will get him right and make this dude even better.
bemljj I never wanted him to be traded
shanahan's well-known for his work with QB's. I certainly hope shanahan will work with him this offseason.
Clyde Macasero lol? Shanahan is a QB whisperer. Jimmy GQ MVP 2018
Clyde Macasero believe in shanahan he's an offensive guru and a qb fixer. If it's anyone who can fix jimmy g's mechanics it's shanahan
They’ve probably been mainly focusing on the playbook instead of his actually play style so I’m sure he’s going to fix it up and be a beast next year.
Jefferson Guerra definitely true. the encyclopedia of plays that shanahan has would've been very intimidating for him to comprehend within 2-3 weeks. clean up the technique & improve the o-line & recievers, this team would be a postseason contender evert year
I sure hope not, at least not how Brett is talking. This "mechanical flaw" helps him get the ball out faster. It HURTS him on deep passes, yes. But it HELPS him on short and shorter ranged intermediate passes in the face of the rush.
Can you do a video on Cameron Jordan’s ‘Triple Double’ (double digit TFLs sacks and pass break ups). And how he manages to be so versatile in every phase of the game.
3:37
I just watched this play 3 times and I don't even see the throw
Terry Wallace I said the same thing like wen did he release the ball
Terry Wallace watch it on .5 speed. It's still incredibly quick. ( And by the way, kollman sounds drunk AF)
Terry Wallace E
You killed it with this one! I've been so impressed with how quickly he makes decisions in the short-intermediate passing game. Def his strongest trait. But I also noticed he was "falling away" from some of his throws - thank you for breaking down the nitty gritty of his mechanics like that!
I agree, I also wonder how much of that is a product of knowing he is about to get hit on a third of his throws. Maybe he's anticipating...
Good god that hit screams head trauma
Ethan Kovach Yeah that was brutal
Isn’t that illegal?
I noticed that as well how was that not fucking called...
It was called for roughing the passer I believe
It's hard to perfect fundamentals when you're not getting any blocking. Garoppolo and Shannahan are doing about all they can do with that roster right now. If they have a good FA signing period and draft, the 49ers can make waves next season.
Gee Mac72 My thoughts exactly
Excuses excuses. He's a good qb but he has bad footwork. Don't make excuses for yourself or your players and coaches and team just because your a fan. Brady isn't Brady by making excuses. He needs to fix his footwork and his flaws and he'll be Brady. I couldn't agree more than with the video. He's getting the ball out incredibly fast but missing on long shots and accuracy by poor footwork. He has good decision making and awesome coaches. I expect they'll clean this up within the next year and perfect it in the next two or three and you'll be watching a younger Brady kicking my hawks ass left and right if we don't fix our own shit storm. Good luck!!
Aaron Day Shut up your Hawks are done!
Cardy Konz well no shit Sherlock lol I was there. But I've watched great qbs go from good qbs into great ones by changing their arm rotation, improving their release, improving their strength and conditioning and their footwork and hip rotation. Your probably one of those idiots that can't understand I'm actually impressed and looking forward to watching the 49ers get even better because that's what good people and real fans do. They realize football is better for it because rivalries improve, players and coaches increase in skill and intelligence and scheme, and honestly I don't like bad teams reaching the playoffs when they play like garbage or didn't deserve it. I guess you just wanna hate. While I'm over here rooting for this dude to become the next Brady and Rogers. So suck it ya 49whiner
Realistically Seahawks are in rebuild mode while rams should take #1 and 49ers could take #2 with a good 8-10 wins depending upon their progression and Seahawks and cardinals regression. Unfortunately there's only one bellicheck that can plug and play and reach and win in the playoffs year in year out.
Damn good analysis and excellent breakdown. Very happy to see a Jimmy G video. Happy New Year. Can't to see next year's videos.
sup bro, see you on the warrior vids. YEEEEEE, we out here
SF GOLDENSTATE Ninersssssssss
Super analysis as always!
Three years later that mechanical flaw is his main weakness.
3 more years later: "Remember Jimmy G?" 😂😂😂
i was just about to go to bed until i saw this. it’s 4:00 am
You can sleep when you DIE!!!!!!
Dude, literally it's 4:27am right now
Dogg, so you started the video at 3:44am...ouuu you badass
fuck you talking about bro lmao
I wish I could go to sleep and wake up in September
This guy should be a professional scout for an NFL team keep it up !!!!
Man times have changed. Will Jimmy be healthy next season? Will the Niners draft a QB in the 2021 Draft? Just needed to see this again to remember how much of a change Jimmy was for us.
always thankful for what he did for us
This is the most honest and thorough breakdown of Jimmy Garappolo there is. Offers both strengths and weaknesses of JG and these are the same exact things I noticed about him dating back to EIU and his few games with Patriots. This is a must watch for all. Good Work!
Have been saying it the past couple of weeks, the 49ers are going to be the dynasty of the 20s. Coming from a Broncos fan. They have an amazing west coast system again in Shanahan and a QB who has spent the last 4 years learning that system from the GOAT Brady. Is like Walsh and Montana all over again. Need a star WR though.
Jacob Thompson Id make a push for Robinson in Jacksonville
Super Game Jerks That would be perfect. The Jaguars have plenty of depth at receiver as it is
Yeah. I said the same thing. It they get that one WR its over.
Jacob Thompson nah goodwin is a beast shanahan can make any offensive player play better
I dont think people realize how dynasties work. Theres a reason why theres only been one dynasty since the beginning of the century. I cant see the 9ers being s dynasty just because they have garoppolo
ignore the trolls keep up your fantastic job
Javier Juan Nieto Nahm no trolls, he basically called bosa a one year wonder which Is clearly bullshit
You clearly don't understand his videos if you think that's the point he was making
As a 9er fan, I am stoked.
TortureTrilogy me to
this is why QBs are the most valuable position. No single position has even close to this type of impact on a team as the QB.
Zaddy other then DL
A running back maybe
Left Tackle
Demontae Woulard
position group
ThePickPocket
you don’t need an elite rb to win as sb
As a 49ers fan I'm glad you covered the good AND the bad. That's what makes your videos so great. You dont get caught up in the hype and ignore or downplay flaws in a players game.
Andddddd...there goes my clean under wear.
Faithful forever ✊🏼
Please do the Saints defense, like a comparison of the 2014-2016 seasons and how different they are in 2017. Or even see how they compare to their 2009 run. Please and thank you.
Sideswipe 909 This. Their before and after is crazy.
He sorta does it for Marshon Lattimores video
Glad you showing my 9ers some love & appreciate the constructive criticism. Love your vids
NINER GANG where you at??
Gangsta Butters Bang Bang Niner Gang
WE HERE MANE
Fuckin each other in the ass. Obviously.
Oliver Klozov ur a gaybob
Gangsta Butters HERE
This was my first episode with you, very impressive Brett. Thank you. I will be sure to tune in when the 49ers are your subject matter...
Your analysis of film is top notch. How do you not have a job with some network or website at this point?
Stuart Ramsey he probably has bigger plans than working for some network to cater to advertisers
Brett Kollmann is “the man”. I wish there were more people getting in depth like this.
Yut.
3 years later, never fixed his footwork.
Awesome stuff as usual. Love that you got around to a video for my team and jimmy G. I like hearing the criticisms too with solid analysis. Impressive work
Can you do a breakdown of JaDeveon Clowney and Myles Garrett lack of effort in their pass rushes or plays running away from them?
NoobSoldier2006 Add joey bosa in there too
It's not easy to go full beast mode every single play. Of course they take some plays off. This just basic knowledge
I was practically bursting with happiness when I saw this was up. Looking forward to more videos from you that help me learn the game. Thank you!
I hope someone shows Jimmy his footwork problems. It's a simple movement that can yield big results.
marchenoir44 they probably already knew which is possibly why they didn’t want jimmy G playing at all this year, cause bad habits are hard to break especially with qbs, but this mechanical issue is worth fixing because they lightning fast release forces defense to stick to their guys like glue to even get a chance at making a play
Bellthebeast7235 ikr? That release tho
They probably let him know about it after his first start for the Niners. One of the first things teams do after a game, is review tape.
Once Jimmy and Young Shanny get the hips involved properly in his release this off season, you will see the long ball back in the Niners offense with Marquis Goodwin.
Thanks Brett so much for your videos...as a 16 year old who wants to be involved in the world of football in any way, these videos help out a ton much love!
You're the best evaluator of NFL talent I've seen in my life. I'm a 49er fan who loves Garoppolo and thought he had no flaws, but then you go on to talk about all of his flaws and I cannot disagree with you. Tremendous job. I love your work.
His flaws remind me of Bradford. Of course, when healthy, Bradford is quite decent, however the lack of hip rotation limits his downfield velocity and accuracy. Hopefully Jimmy G can fix that as it would really limit his upside.
I see it.
jeffx40 jarred goff reminds me of sam bradford great with a clean pocket.. they throw the most beautiful passes. But i’ve never noticed sams hip
these mechanics are interesting....in martial arts for a nice solid hit when you deliver a rear hand punch you want the foot and knee slightly closed when delivering the punch because the energy weight transfers from the back leg to the front then moves up and across the body to the extremities ....do baseball pitchers turn out their front foot I don't think i've seen that really...i guess the slight pivot to open the foot to the target must be specific to football.
Bradford ain’t in the same class as Garrapolo even when healthy he has never looked as good as Jimmy G
Uhh Jimmy is way better than Bradford...... What in the fuck?
I love this! Something for me as a fan of the team to keep an eye on. I heard comments on his feet and hips during the games, and you just detailed everything nicely. Great work!
I returned here after the 2019 season. I’m curious as to what you think now? Has he gotten better?
Tom Brady's former QB tutor the late great Tom Martinez of San Mateo college, coached to lock the front foot inward as Garappolo does. This was to prevent the hips and upper body from over rotating and having the ball pulled to the side. He was adamant about staying in the sagittal plane, making sure your mechanics operated in a straight line so you would never miss left and right. I was fortunate enough to attend his last QB camp before cancer took him from us 7 years ago.
I have no idea if this coaching point exists in New England with Brady still, but I was surprised when you referred to it as a flaw.
Great video! Thanks!
@Brett Kollman Can you review Garappolo once again this year and see if he is still doing this same thing????
As an immigrant , naturalized American citizen I was always into football but since I didn’t grow up with it, it looked like organized chaos. So, I watched it knowing there was a method to the madness;however, there were nobody to explain it or break it down the way you do.All these commentators and football fans around me were talking garbage and I knew I wanted to know more than just the on the surface talk that goes on in the office. I am glad I found your account and subscribed. I watch football with a totally different perspective now and I enjoy it more. Thank you. One last thing : Could you also enlighten us about the way coaches or the guys in the boxes think and adjust the play please? I want to tackle that known unknown as well. Thanks
This video aged like fine fucking wine
This discussion of footwork and mechanics remind me so much of what happens in a golf swing. Good stuff.
Can some one correct me if I'm wrong~~~ I feel like *if a QB cannot throw the ball finishing with the snap of the wrist, they will not have much success in the NFL.*
I say this bcuz Ive watched *Dak Prescott* since he came in to the league and his throwing motion is so painful to look at.
For one, Dak uses his shoulder far too much than needed. For two, he cannot gently but quickly lob the ball to nearby players with just a flick of the wrist.
This is why i feel that *he's having such accuracy problems.* His mechanics is so messed up that not many ppl are actually *taking notice*
With *jimmy G* on the other hand, he throws the ball so effortlessly. You can see how easily he flicks the ball off his hand....and the throws are very accurate!
Its crazy how even a big guy like *Big Ben* can flick the ball off but not Dak.
I hope someone agrees with me
*P.S.* to my fellow *Bears🐻* fans....Our GM, Ryan Pace *needs to hire an offensive minded coach to help Trubisky get better* ~~From McVay to Kyle Shanahan, they have shown us how rookie QBs can have success in the NFL. This is whats needed for Trubisky. 💯
Ty Reek well maybe bcuz he doesnt trust in his throwing ability. He knows he has to wind up to throw the ball, hes unable to flick the ball off like Rodger,Wilson,Ben,Brees,Ryan.
He literally has to use his whole body thmo throw a somewhat fast ball. I hate this and i feel like this is the reason for his problems.
Ty Reek i think he will stay the same until he works on a better throw
It's rather asinine to compare a veteran to a guy that's still on his Rookie contract. Dak is, by no means, dumb. He's not great, and he knows it, so he's gonna put in work because he knows that he has to. Being without Zeke showed that much. He'll look much better for the 2018 season.
Wolf uh I don’t think you’re supposed to snap your wrists when you throw the ball. Flick your wrists, sure.
but do we have a good offensive if we do find another GOOD QB? if we find another QB that's as good as jimmy Garoppolo or baker Mayfield then my cowboys are going to be ELITE. cowboys defense are the second best under Baltimore and if we draft that QB then we might just get a few more rings like we did back in the 90's.
He should be a pro bowler in the next couple seasons. What your pointing out is most likely what his coaches are watching and gonna make him work on it this offseason.
Another great job Brett. As a Rams fan I see an incredible rivalry building with the Whiners again ...
Dan Milbourne..rams have a great young qb as well..gonna be great games for years to come
Dan Milbourne..good luck in the playoffs
Definitely looking forward to us playing you now instead of the shithawks. Ton or respect for Wilson, but can't stand them! Hopefully we beat up on them for years to come (you guys always play them pretty tough) and we edge you out for number 6. The quest begins again! BTW, good luck this year.
Brett thanks for doing this breakdown. Easily my favourite channel. Not only is the content great and informative. You read the comments good or bad. I know these probably take alot of your time so I appreciate the hard work.
Biggest problem of his quick release: he gets hit like a mother. If he keeps taking shots like that he’ll be lucky to last next season without a broken bone.
Gizmomaster Totally agreed! This is something I noticed as well. He’s avoiding sacks for sure but he’s taking big shots in the process.
Ya he gets pummeled some times. We need to make our O line a priority this off season! That's where championship teams start! I have faith in Lynch and Shannahan tho.
Micah Harkins It’s not even about the o line. It’s that he sees pressure coming and he stares it down, knowing he will get lit up, and gets rid of the ball at the very last second and then takes a big hit on purpose. This habit will lead to serious injury.
His release isn't the reason. His offensive line is. All his release does is ALLOW him to get the ball out when lesser QBs would have taken a sack.
+Donald D I respectfully disagree. Watch how Beadles got beat on nearly every single play he was in at right tackle. If he had a better Oline, he'd be throwing those same passes but from a clean pocket.
This was exactly what I was asking for on Twitter. Thank you. As a 'Niners fan, I'm really excited but I was seeing the same thing. Nice to see someone break it down so eloquently.
Yeah nfc West is gonna be great next year with jimmy g in the mix
49ers/Rams will compete for top, then Seattle, then Cards (BET)
...
What a storehouse of dissective skills you have, Bret!! Bravo!!! I love JG and what I've learnt from your video makes me even more convinced that JG is the Franchise QB for the 49ers. And, I do believe that Kyle will work with JG as they go through the films and work on fixing his flaws. Thus far, he never had the opportunity to start in multiple games and now those game speed limitations can be unearthed, as he continues to start, and worked on. All in all, an excellent trade for the 49ers
I hope Kyle can work on it with him next year. His deep ball looks like his only major negative
not really, lots of the Deep Balls have been drops or the players cant "get there". I think with improved WRs, TEs (or atleast not rookies) he will improve
D350 Highlights tweet the 49 this video and hope they watch it better yet tweet Jimmy
The last thing any athlete wants is for some random dude telling him what he's doing wrong when that random dude has never set foot on the field... just leave the man alone and have him work on his flaws at his own time aka off-season.
Razeo it's better to know what your flaws are from someone who has a bunch of videos on players pros and cons that type of ego wouldnt take anybody anywhere so yea if it was a bum off the street then I'd see what your saying but when it is someone who watches hours of film and knows what he's talking about I'd take notes
That's not the point, fact of the matter is Jimmy has no clue who this guy is nor what his qualifications are. As far as he's concerned, this is just some random dude who's been watching alot of football games for the past 20-30 yrs at his local bar despite his quality play by play breakdowns. And its pretty safe to say that his coaching staff; especially Kyle Shanahan and Rich Scangarello (QB coach) are already aware of this and any other flaws in his game who without a doubt already has a ton of film on Jimmy compared to anyone else.
And I thought I was smart. Seriously, this is amazingly good. Bravo. I will say though that one aspect that was overlooked is that of pocket presence; the ability to move as little as necessary, as late as possible, while keeping his eyes downfield that is perhaps the most important skill a quarterback can have. And Jimmy has got it. Bigtime.
That extra torque issue/leg not moving may be the reason he didn't win the SB. Remember that pass he failed on the last drive where he overthrew Sanders?
As someone who thinks Jimmy can be great I can’t agree with you more that’s a glaring flaw in his game
@Brett Kollmann I’m looking at this video again two years later with all the Jimmy G talk because i remember your analysis and at the time your concerns were well noticed. He has the same problems in 2020 missing wide open receivers 20-30 yds downfield as his footwork is, of course, still terrible and much more since his injuries on the knee and ankle...(Brett Koll)Man you were spot on !!! Kudos to you 👍🏽👏🏽
I think some of the flaws you mentioned come as a product of being behind a terrible offensive line and being rushed. Look him up in college and he was better on the things you mentioned. It should be improved once he gets more comfortable and confident in the guys blocking upfront for him and isn't pressured to get the ball out so quick. Tbh this analysis gets me more excited because it shows it isn't a lack of arm strength but a lack of mechanics and proper footwork. He's making these throws with all arm strength imagine when he gets his lower body involved.
The question becomes: will he work on it? And does he know that he needs to?
That's my only concern. Because the OP made a point: 3 years into his tenure, someone should have pointed this out by now.
Other than that, he's great. Can't wait for football season to start!
And don't troll me for this post.
The most underrated football Channel
One of my favorite channels
Good job on the breakdown of the throwing motion. Wow! Hopefully he can work on that. He's got a lot of potential
Man this video has come back to haunt me, that throw to Emmanuel Sanders in the superbowl...
I was thinking the exact same thing. Brett also mentioned that he tries to rescue unrescuable plays which is exactly how he tore his ACL. He had him pegged from the start lol
Thank you Brett! As a 49er fan I was telling my friends that I loved everything that Jimmy G did but I was worried that his throws 20+ always seemed to have a bit too much air / or seemed to float. Your breakdown was perfect. I'm subscribed.
Not like he would miss again ever to a wide open target
Great breakdown. I have no idea how mechanics work with a qb so this definitely educated me as to why some of those passes fell incomplete.
Honestly, people are gonna come back to this video and sarcastically say it 'aged well', but Brett was right here. Jimmy was who we needed to win at the time, and you and I would probably be lying if we were to say that Jimmy had no role at all during that awesome 2019-20 season. If Trey pans out as a QB, Jimmy's gone for sure. But a lot -- admittedly not most -- of our success in 2019-20 was because of Jimmy G.
The 49ers and Jimmy have all the time they need to perfect his throwing motion and footwork. As long time 49er fans (like me) we are thrilled that we have this ball of talent. He will get better and will be one of the best QB's next year. He reminds me of Dan Marino with Steve Young's legs. He is very special and we love him.
This video has aged incredibly well
Great video!! I see the same lower body mechanic issues with Trubisky. You should make a film room dissecting his ups and downs this year, and what to expect of him next season, under a RPO/West coast coach...
1250 yards in 4 games lmfao. GOAT
@1:01 u can see the respect factor that the players have for Jimmy and I was his first game against the Bears
It is a crime to put the words Jameis Winston and Good in the same sentence.
Just an awesome video. Let’s see how his footwork looks next pre season. I told two coworkers, whom are Rams fans, that the Niners would cause problems next year in the division. They just scoffed at me. These are the same Rams fans I told that the Rams would win the division before the season started.
he is good
Awesome video! Nice to see so mechanic break down of jimmy’s game. Hoping he puts in the work on his footwork and Sf invests in some oline and jimmy and sf will be nightmares to deal with again.
Who’s here after they traded up to the third pick 🤣
Very good presentation.I agree.I love Jimmy G .Yes the deep ball is what needs work.I cant believe how good he is with so few starts .I see him pass in places and wonder how the hell he did it.Never seen anything like it.I think Jimmy is Jimmy i havent seen anything like him.Sometimes i see Montana sometimes i see Brady .Sometimes i see Marino.Someimes i see Elway.Finally i can watch 49ers again .He has brought a much needed light with Kyle back .The Kap thing just really killed me.
And he's injured.....
Finally. Someone talks about release time. Cant be overstated how important it can be.
Could it be that some of his problems with follow through are a result of him shying away from a big hit?
Doubt it.. watch the playbacks at 5:13. The LB is a couple seconds from sacking him but Jimmy doesn't even flinch and completes the throw.
TheWizardOfOsborne or protecting himself from LB screaming up middle ...funny how Mr robot failed to say that on both inaccurate passes..rushed throws to be great QB in NFL you have to master the rushed, off schedule throw..he didn't say that either.
Razeo that’s actually what I’m talking about. He didn’t completely follow through, especially in his lower body. But I’m not totally counting that against him. With a LB that close, completely shifting your weight to the front leg can result in devastating injury if you get hit low.
He'll no. He's pretty solid at staying with the throw. He's taken some pretty big hits. I watched every game he played this year, and one, you should want your QB to shy away from those type of hits but two, I've watched him hang in there, get nailed and still hit his WR
He's been on the bench for most of his NFL career. That can lead to an odd situation where some aspects of his game are highly refined and others are neglected, depending on what the coaches focus on. Clearly the NEP coaches focused on quick release and good situational play. Just as clearly, there's some other areas he could get better at.
Hands down best football analysis channel on RUclips.
Watch out fellow Niners fans, here come the bandwagons 😂😂😂
I was stationed in Virginia Beach from 2001-2008. I used to get laughed out of bars for wearing my Niner jerseys. I left and came back in 2012 and all I saw was Niner hats, jerseys, flags. I can't stand that shit. Same thing is going to happen this year too. Dam fair weather fans. Lol
I'm ready to expose some people. I better not see the word faithful at all from people who shit on the team the whole season.
Lol 😂
You need to be the most subscribed sports channel like more then all of them combined it's just amazing how you anilyz and explain things I've learned more from you than from any sports show or channel combined
That's a dirty hit by McKinney
Bit of helmet on helmet there
Imo it should have been a helmet to helmet penalty!
No it wasnt
Brett, your videos are amazing and incredibly detailed. As a Niners fan, I greatly appreciate your in-depth analysis of Garoppolo's pros and cons. Your objective analysis is always appreciated and beyond impressive. Thank you for your videos!
JIMMY GQ
Great video! Honest and insightful critique. We're excited for the future with this guy leading the team. How do you not have more subs???
2018 Pro Bowler
bout to head into the offseason with an undefeated resume
I'd prefer all-pro because its more exclusive and pro bowl nods are basically a joke. For instance Mathew slater from the pats got a pro bowl nod even though he's like the 12th ranked special teams player on the Patriots this year. Pro bowl is based more on past performance, name recognition and playing for a good/popular team than talent.
Ned Gold I know and that's why Jimmy G is kinda likely to get in, maybe even as a replacement to Rodgers or someone with playoffs on their mind. Really doubt he'll be able to make all-pro team though since that's a real challenge.
