maryland-bills-fan Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 James Richard Garoppolo (born November 2, 1991) is an American football quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Eastern Illinois and was drafted in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots, with whom he won two Super Bowls as the backup to Tom Brady. As a senior in 2013, Garoppolo broke Tony Romo's school records for career passing touchdowns, career passing yards, and passing touchdowns in a season.[1][2][3] That season, he also won the Walter Payton Award as the best offensive player in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).[4] Garoppolo saw light duty behind Brady in his seasons in New England. In October 2017, Garoppolo was traded by the Patriots to the 49ers. He won his first five starts with his new team as quarterback, which, including his two victorious starts for New England, earned him a 7–0 record as a starter, a feat last accomplished by Ben Roethlisberger in 2004. Garoppolo signed a lucrative, record-breaking five-year contract with the 49ers in February 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm done, since I don't have your approval. By the way, Garo was a second round draft pick. He was picked AFTER Bortles #3 Manziel #22 Bridgewater #32 ----------------------- Carr #36 Garoppolo #62 ------------------------ none in the 3rd round. What do you say about all those NFL experts who chose Manziel and Bridgewater over Garoppolo? Hmmmm, the QB draft had a 33% success rate for the first round and a 100% success rate for the second round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well technically he is as he has been a starting QB for the Jags since coming in, even has a playoff win to his name....... Depends on your definition of success and where you set your bar......

This is not the norm for a draft and you know that. Why don't you go back and look at more than one draft and find out which round has better qbs.

There are so many posters saying that we could NEVER (that is an absolute statement) get a good QB unless we trade up to the top 5 or top 10 or top half of the first round or first round......etc. Pretty recent history proves that statement is ignorant. The "expert"s are often full of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "expert"s are often full of it. Just go by the law of averages then. Top talent comes at the top of the draft it's a no brainer. The guys you mentioned are outliers. Could your scenario happen sure but odds are in favor of top players being taken at the top. Plus I havnt seen anyone say it's impossible to get a QB outside the top 10. I have seen many state it's improbable which is absolutely true. Edited April 4, 2018 by Zebrastripes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
