To put things in perspective, in 2017, NFL teams scored on 35% of their drives, while the 49ers scored on only 29% of their drives without Garoppolo. Garoppolo concluded the 2017 season with 1,560 yards passing, seven touchdowns, five interceptions, 11 yards running, and one score. He also had three lost fumbles. Garoppolo's first season as the San Francisco 49ers' starting quarterback was a success, as he led them to an 8-7 record and earned himself a $137.5 million contract extension. In 2018, however, he was injured early in the season and had to be replaced by C.J. Beathard, who went on to have a very successful season. As a result, 2019 is Garoppolo's chance to prove that he is still the best quarterback in San Francisco. So far this season, he has been effective leading the 49ers downfield scoring opportunities, completing 9 of 12 passes for 120 yards and two scores. He has also gone over 100 yards passing twice this season. Jimmy Garoppolo has always been known for his ability to move the ball downfield through the air, and last year under pressure from losing games he proved that he can also lead high-powered offenses when it matters most. With Beathard now out for the season and an unknown at backup quarterback, Garoppolo will have one more opportunity to show why he is still one of the best quarterbacks in football.
