prissythecat Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 The 49ers have significant talent on both sides of ball as evidenced by Superbowl run last year. However, I believe that they are being held back by a very limited QB in Jimmy Garoppolo who cannot make enough plays to overcome situations where game is close or there is not a huge talent differential. This is certainly a very different situation from few seasons ago when lots of folks were ready to anoint Garoppolo as the next elite QB. Thoughts on where the 49ers should be going with QB ? You can only retain so much talent for so long and windows close quickly. 5

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 In today's NFL if you don't have very good to elite mobility at the QB position you better be very special in the pocket. Nobody will confuse Jimmy G with being a very special player in the pocket. 2

(They don't have anywhere near the talent we have in the RB and WR room.) 3
1ManRaid Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Just saw a recent QB ranking list by some supposed "expert" football writer that had Allen at #20 and Jimmy G in the top 10. Also had Burrow at #26 despite never having played a snap in the NFL and Allen not getting ranked in preseason when he was a rookie. Jimmy G is just going to get that automatic big market respect.

Thats very special lol 6

Mark Vader Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 I've been saying this about Garoppolo ever since he was drafted..... Overrated!!! 1
Rc2catch Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Jimmy ain’t going anywhere the next year or two. Shanahan is a run coach and will always prioritize his run game first. Their receivers are a hot mess right now as well. Little quick to judge after one game. I don’t think he’s a top 15 quarterback but they’ve already proven they can win with him.

Mr. WEO Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 The 49ers took a 3 point lead 1/3 of the way into the 4th Q. Then the D gives up a TD. The Garoppolo drives down for a TD to regain the lead. The their D gives up another TD on the Cardinal's next drive. Garoppolo drives them again down to the AZ 16. Came up incomplate on 4th and 5. He threw 2 TDs, 259 yards. It wasn't awful. SF's vaunted D couldn't stop Kyler Murray in the 4th Q (despite given TWO leads to protect). 2 1

Pat McAfee said a big plus for Jimmy G is he doesn't mind constantly handing off the ball if it leads to wins, vs all the other QBs who get upset if they're not hitting 300 passing yards per game.

Lol I wouldn’t mind either if I had that contract. 1 2

He's a game manager. Their defense and their running game were bigger reasons why they went to the Super Bowl last year.

All part of the master plan from BB. Lose Brady, bring back JG on the cheap after he flames out in SF. Pats get their next system QB for another 10 years. FML
Success Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 I'll admit it: I was terrified Garropolo would take over for the Pats after Brady left. I thought they found another gem & he'd carry them to another decade of success. I'm still not quite ready to write him off, though. I thought he was pretty solid in the SB last year, though not great. Yesterday he looked pretty middlin'. But I noticed that America has become even more addicted to hot takes this season (Brady is washed! BB was clearly more responsible for their run!) So, I'll give this one more time to render any kind of verdict.
Coach Tuesday Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 He was terrible yesterday. He’s ok if he has a good game plan, his line keeps him clean and the moon is in the third quadrant of the sky. Otherwise he’s trash. He’s Kirk Cousins - just good enough to get you fired. 1 1
