Bleacher Report is, uh, reporting that Jimmy Garoppolo has been named the starting quarterbacker for the upcoming Chicago Bears game. Time to show the world if the braintrust knows what they are up to. So it looks like barring yet another injury, Jimmy G will be the starter for the rest of the season, as in the next 4 games.
Huzzah.
Thing is, this is the part of the schedule that I thought the team would be coalescing around their young buck coach and gaining momentum as we head off into the sunset and the bright future with our new QB. Instead, the team is in tattered rags around him. The latest to hit the bricks is back up RT Erik Magnuson, who is out with a foot sprain, and Trent Brown is still day-to-day with his shoulder injury. The backup to the backup is rookie Darrell Williams Jr, or (gulp) Zane Beadles. Magnuson kinda sucked at center, and the rest of the line has been shakey as fuck, so . . . I hope Jimmy G has a quick trigger finger. He may have a very short run.
In other news, ST star gunner, Raheem Mostert is heading to the IR with a knee injury, and free safety Adrian Colbert, who looked great against the Giants, is questionable for the Bears game. Woof!
GO TEAM! I hope Jimmy G. has a great game!
Nerves on the first pass
Wow 😮 a 3rd and long and a pass greater than 3 yards
Already looking better
Is everyone still sleeping 😴 Wakeup Charlie!!
Nice first drive, Jimmy G did some nice things.
so many penalties
Same story every week.
Jimmy also inspiring the D to play better also
D might actually get to rest a bit.
I wouldn’t even hand the ball off to Hyde anymore I would just throw it to him
That sucked.
we don’t do 3rd and long very well
Need to bring pressure
Trubisky too much time, not getting there with 4 enough.
Jimmy G does throw a catchable ball.
that’s more like it
we waste so many opportunities
Yeah but wow did JG move the ball.
Lol
OLine at fault again
JG took a big hit on that Goodwin pass.
O is definitely better so far.
Niners need a bigger back for these 1yard runs
Penalties killing scoring opportunities, TE then WR…WTF.
