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!
4 FG won’t get it done.
The biggest difference today, the ball is fucking coming out. Hopefully young CJ is taking notes.
Still shootting themselves in the foot, Jimmy can only do so much, someone other than JG needs to step up
The O has looked night and day with JG in there, with actual time of possession.
The OL still provides little in the way of space for the backs to run into. You look at Hyde’s stats on the surface and they look mediocre, but they’ve been tough yards and at least helped balance the offense. Our line just sucks ass at run blocking.
JG’s quickness at getting rid of the ball has mitigated what has also been pretty mediocre pass pro.
I’ve never heard of Cassius Marsh, but nice play there. He did have 4 career sacks coming in.
A TD would be very nice here. Take a shot to Goodwin on 1st down.
Hochuli is a dirty dick licker who should’ve been put out to pasture years ago. What a fucking joke.
FUCKING PENALTIES SHANAHAN.
The Niners are dominating this game statistically. They need to do whatever it takes to get a win here.
Quit trying to block tackle, wrap your arms around that guy
A Field Goal will win this, come on Niners, JG first win!!
Im not so sure, they need 7.
Who isn’t stoked about Adrian Colbert? The dude looks like a serious baller, almost, dare I say it, in the mold of Earl Thomas. Speedy, hard hitting with good instincts for the game. If Ward can’t make the transition to CB, we may have seen the last of him in SC.
JG and Marquis with instant chemistry.
4 down territory from here on out.
big time play there
Taylor!
and JG
Oh yeah. See my post below!
JG comes from a system that knows how to utilize the slot receiver, big time. What a coincidence, Taylor is having his best game ever.
Third down magic today boys.
Eschew the FG, Kyle, let’s get 6!
