If the 49ers come out and try to use Dee Ford inside on regular downs, or even if they come out and just try to use him on early downs, I expect KC to run right at him and exploit his one-dimensional nature. Will be interesting. Look for 21 personnel if KC is seeing Ford, with Blake Bell assigned to deal with Ford and free up Fisher/Schwartz to get to the second level.
^ 21 also seems to be KC's favored grouping for screen game action. They'll use Kelce or Bell as well as Williams in the screen game, and will run action to both sides of the field.
The game against the Saints is definitely the biggest counter to the "just a game manager" tag for Garoppolo. It's the one that really stands out.
But like I was saying, we've got 40 years of history watching game managers and seeing them occasionally have that one shining moment. All those things you just said in his defense? They're things Chiefs fans have been saying prior to Mahomes about every guy except Montana and Green.
Thus, they ring hollow/false. I know the 49ers played that Baltimore game in bad passing conditions, but they win that game with a few more plays in the passing game from Garoppolo.
The other game you cited was a home win against a non-playoff team quarterbacked by Mason Rudolph, in which Garoppolo never trailed by more than one score, threw for a pedestrian yardage total, and threw two picks that led to 6 points for the opposing team.
You understand why that doesn't make the case for being more than a guy who leans on his D and run game, right?

Bosa: Some of the reason he won Rookie of the year is sacks, a greater portion of that, and why I stated what I did is what is not shown on the stat line,- like QB pressures.
Ford: I was not suggesting this just pointing out to the other poster he lines up elsewhere then he did in KC.
21- Niners favorite personnel group as well, I would guess there will be a lot of looks in practice this week for this and it will be interesting to see how often they use it considering.
Jimmy: I get there is not going to be an agreement, for sure. But his body of work this year is over shadowed by the D and run game. He threw for almost 3K yards (250 Yd avg), 27 TD's with a QBR of 102. Jimmy has had 10 games with a QBR over 100 this year, PM has had 9 (JG includes two games, Washington and Baltimore, where throwing wasn't much of an option). Not by anyway saying he's better, but he can be damn good when he needs to be.
