Garapalo and the niners were supposed to be the next big thing, despite the fact that he’s only thrown 360 passes in his entire career. For comparison Goff had over 500 last year alone. I think that’s why we like taking shots at him, pundits have been tripping over themselves to give JG cover since the 9ers acquired him, it’s the o line or the receivers or the injuries but now there are rumblings. He still gets the benefit of the doubt though, which is fine, it is only preseason. Except for a certain guy who still is doubted even after winning his division 2 years straight, and going to the super bowl.
It’s interesting how the media approaches Garapalo and Goff. People still talk about Garapalo winning games and beating the Rams cuz we really haven’t seen anything else from him, and Goff ? Well I heard someone today say they need to see more from him, with McVay telling him what to do all the time he needs to be the one to take command since Gurley is not the guy he was. Which is probably why they haven’t extended him yet.
Maybe it’s just me but it seems like espn would rather Garapalo be the one going to pro bowls and Super Bowls. Goff’s success is attributed to McVay but Jimmy has had one of the greatest coaches ever and one of the best offensive minds around in Belichick and Shanny, how good is he ?
Should be a fun season.
