I’m honestly curious how many times an nfl team could make the same mistake in a row

I honestly wouldn't put it past them.

49'ers:

2015 > 5-11

2016 > 2-14

2017 > 1-10 w/o Jimmy G.

2018 > 3-10 w/o Jimmy G.

2020 > 3-7 w/o Jimmy G.

'17/'18/'20 > 7-27 (.206) w/o Jimmy G.

'17/'18/'20 > 9-6 (.600) w/ Jimmy G.

'19/'21 > 27-12 (.692) w/ Jimmy G. fully available, includes a Super Bowl and 2 NFC Championship games, as well as multiple playoff wins against Whiny Aaron.

Jimmy G. is the epitome of a difference maker...

...the anti-Darnold if you will -- Panthers could use a some of that

How big are his hands???

Wins the job? From who, a rookie?  If Jimmy G is here, he will be the starter, period! If we win 9 games, so be it! Unlike some, I'm not going to cry over wins. You play and deal with what comes about regardless like you do every season. Pros are NOT going to tank. Nobody's going into the season with the mindset to lose. 

Its pointless.  Theres just a bunch a huddlers who are in tank-the-season mode already...so much that they can't see the difference between JimmyG and Sam.

Same question to you:

Say Jimmy G wins the job and has about 9 wins on the season.  Then what?

Tanking is not the only path to a QB and is not a guarantee to a team turn around.  Ask the Jets and and Jags.

Yes, it's really outlandish if one really reflects upon it; they're in tank-the-season-mode in April (March, February, January...). I would've said "unbelievable", but I'm not surprised--or shocked, really considering the world we live in today.

I don't want to tank.  I want the team to start darnold

Its just seething-Rhule-hate.  They hate Rhule more than they want the Panthers to win.  This narrative...that it is impossible to get a good QB in the draft unless you absolutely suck.... just isn't supported by history.  They know it.  Its not about a QB.  Its about getting rid of the coach.

There's no reasoning with them.

The years he was on the roster are pretty misleading. He is a mid level QB. Their backup is obviously worse, so when the starter gets hurt (which apparently he does a lot), the team is going to be worse.  If he was such a difference maker Kyle and Lynch wouldn’t have traded 3 first round picks to move up and grab Lance so they can replace him. If he was such a difference maker there would be a bidding war like their was for Watson. So he will get traded one of the last teams standing for lower picks because he is just a mid level injury prone QB…

Why?

To tank for next year’s QB class. I don’t agree with it, but that’s been his plan the whole time.

Why do people want to be the Jets or Jags...or even the Browns circa 2014

There is one theory they don’t want to be stuck in the middle constantly out of reach for the next top QB. Similar to the Colts lately, but you can always trade up and grab one, it’s just very pricey (see the Niners for Lance).
