    Its kinda hate inasmuch as its unfair to judge him in toto right now when he’s still developing, with only a couple actual starts on his resume. Saying the mistakes he’s making now define who he’s going to be forever is simply not true.

    If by the end of the season he’s still making the same mistakes and not showing any growth, then you can start to make those criticisms. But almost no one is going to immediately jump in and be an NFL QB1 right out of the box, in the scenario he was in

    People are just frustrated

    Realistically, its not even a question. We’re not going back to Garoppolo this season, unless AOC gets injured. We’re not pulling a Browns and signing a Joe Flacco in desperation either. AOC will get to the end of the season to audition for the starting role next year. So he’ll either show steady growth, or he wont, and we dont have any decisions to make one way or the other till next spring



  • You can tell AOC is still a rookie. Those deep shots seem like they were decided before the snap, and he was going to take them because it was “time to” and “he should”, rather than reading the play and seeing a decent chance.

    Throwing it up for grabs and trusting Davante to get it is a fine strategy, but this wasnt the last play of the game, and there were options open shallower that would’ve kept the drive going and set up more shots for the end zone.

    Hopefully going over this game tape will help AOC develop some better instincts for similar situations in the future. I think he’s made a lot of good adjustments and learned from his mistakes so far, especially with his pocket presence.

    The overthrows are just inexcusable though. He’s gotta get on the same page with Adams about those kind of routes
