Dominic Aragon‏ @Bearded49ersFan How has Garoppolo looked in contrast to the QBs the 49ers have had over the past few years?

ANSW: He's looked OK in the two practices reporters have watched. I can't remember a quarterback ever looking sensational in spring practices when they're throwing to an array of receivers and often learning new plays. Garoppolo looked great in seven-on-seven drills in the red zone yesterday, showing his quick release and nice touch on some corner-of-end zone throws. Of course, any quarterback *should* excel there since there's zero pass rush. His deep balls have, quite frankly, been a bit ugly (I know; that's not a word often associated with Jimmy G) with even his completions being a smidge under-thrown. It might turn out that Garoppolo, with his excellent improvisational skills and gunslinger style, is a better game-day quarterback than practice passer. I don't think anyone would mind if that bears out.

I think that's why he'll remain a very good, but not great QB. The mastery over the short and intermediate throws will keep us in games and allow us to move the ball on anyone, but he'll suffer from 15+ INTs per year probably.

Dang that's a lot of ints for $137 million.

Seems like a Franchise QB to me

The Rams have a way of bringing out such things in this team.

Man, Taylor and Rice were so fun to watch in that game.

John Taylor was a good punt returner. I can see John Taylor 2.0 with Pettis. Goodwin makes a good impression of Freddie Solomon. We just have to find that elite go-to guy (Clark/Rice) - Garcon is a good sub until we do. Maybe we draft one next year?

I agree, but most QBs that throw for 4500 yards are going to have more than 10 turnovers... i could be wrong though!

"Look, Jimmy Garoppolo did a lot of good things last year," he said. "Matt Flynn did a lot of good things in Green Bay. He was 5-0 before he went to Seattle and then he never played significantly again after that.

Eric Mangini's comparison of Jimmy G to Matt Flynn is totally absurd and inaccurate. Saying he was 5-0 before going to Seattle, lol. He was 1-1.

Sounds like he is still having a few issues on his deep passes, but overall is pretty sharp.

Timing and chemistry.

This whole hubbub about his deep accuracy is a joke. With the turnstiles pretending to be offensive lineman that we had last year, Jimmy had to get the ball off quick so there weren't many opportunities for 7 step drop bombs.

With a competent oline and a QB that works the entire field, Jimmy will have plenty of opportunities.
