Playoffs?
172 yds no TD. 1 int. vs Cowboys
131 yds. no TD. and 1 INT vs the packers
232 yds 2 TD and 1 game losing INT vs Rams
9ers won in spite of Jimmy
Their D is very good
And if he is so good why would they give him up for a 3rd ?
He's not better than Wentz

The 49ers have nowhere near the plethora of receiving weapons you seem to think they do. Samual and Kittle are great, no doubt. Their WR2 Aiyuk (at least statistically) is pretty good. After that there's a huge dropoff. Their 4th most productive receiver in '21 was a FB who racked up a total of 296 yards which is 17 ypg.
Also, while our receiving core definitely needs some upgrading especially at WR2, Wentz's inability to distribute the ball really hurt their production. I did a quick YoY analysis of yards per game for our receivers between '20 and '21 and most of the drop offs are staggering:
TY -35%
Pascal -39%
Hines -39%
MAC -29%
TE3 (Burton/Granson) -68%, although some of that is probably due to vet vs. rookie.
I don't think Jimmy G is our savior, but he's better than Wentz. Mostly b/c of how bad Wentz is.
