I will say that if this offensive line performs like this next year with Garoppolo -- the offense has a chance to be among the best in the NFL.
The biggest difference between Garoppolo and Beathard (...and there are several) is that Garoppolo can read a blitz.
Garoppolo also can...
- Get rid of the ball quickly
- Throw with accuracy
- Step up in the pocket
- Feel pressure in the pocket
He was struggling with those in the games he played this year.
He was struggling, but started to put things together in the win against the Lions and the 3rd quarter vs. KC. With that said, let's face it he wasn't getting no where near the support from his defense that Beathard has gotten. The defense had two really good games and Beathard couldn't close them out. Beathard may turn into a competent starter one day, but let's face it, the kid belongs on the bench right now. The Lions would've blown out Arizona both times and Jimmy G. put up 30 vs. the Lions.
Conclusion, 49ers need Jimmy G. back badly!!!
