There's still some NFL fans out there who think Jimmy Garoppolo will get exposed this season because he only played 7 games and got "overpaid", it's stupid and baseless as hell but it annoys me that people really think this way.
Here's a guy who came into a team in late October that was arguably the worst team in the league not only that season but for the last 2-3 seasons, offenseive line in shambles, no receiving threats to speak of, and having to learn Shanahans notoriously difficult playbook that even a veteran like Matt Ryan struggled learning in his first FULL SEASON with Kyle. I think even the most optimistic 49ers fans believe that Jimmy would probably struggle with the talent around him and that we would have to wait until next season to get a real evaluation from him, instead the team improved under every statistic cadigory over night once he got his chance under center, Marquise Goodwin was close to getting ran out of town, suddenly he nearly eclipses 1,000 receiving, "Celek time" was actually a thing when Garrett Celek was mostly a nobody before, offensive line improves dramatically even with Zane Beatles at RT. Sure you could nit-pick and say his footwork & deep throw accuracy needs work, but who's to say he won't or hasn't improved with a full offseason with the 49ers? Maybe opposing fans are just salty that the 49ers robbed the Patriots of another franchise QB and their teams still can't get one, trust me I get the feeling. But no need to be disrespectful, Jimmy is the real deal and if he can stay healthy NFL fans better get used to him
Every QB worth a damn is going to be overpaid once their contract is up. If fans don't understand that by now there isn't a reason to even argue with them.
