Famous words by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo from earlier this season.
Garoppolo looks to prove all of his doubters wrong, but he has a goal on Sunday that is more important than proving his worth.
"Just win, baby," Garoppolo told Kurt Warner of NFL Network this week when asked what that goal was.
Garoppolo threw just eight passes in the NFC Championship Game against the Green Bay Packers. How does he envision the 49ers beating the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV?
"Spread the ball around, getting everyone involved on offense, run the ball well, passing it well," Garoppolo answered. "When everything's clicking — like one of those games — when everything's clicking and you just feel good, and the defense is ballin' -- It will be tough in the Super Bowl. It's never an easy game, obviously, so it will be a good test for us."
Warner asked Garoppolo if there is anything that he can do to help his teammates loosen up in the biggest game of their careers.
"Yeah, especially just in practice," Garoppolo responded. "I think just throughout the entire week, they tried to do too much, and it's like, 'No, we got here doing what we do,' and I think our team, they keep it light. We've got (George) Kittle, Kendrick Bourne; those guys keep it as light as possible."
