Comparing Jimmy Garoppolo's 2017 to Colin Kaepernick's final five games in 2016


Colin Kaepernick last five full games in 2016:



    • 64.6 completion percentage on 164 attempts
    • 1,093 passing yards for 9 TD, 2 INT and passer rating of 96.9
    • 27 rushes for 188 yards and 1 TD
Jimmy Garoppolo last five full games in 2017:



    • 67.1 completion percentage on 176 attempts
    • 1,542 passing yards for 6 TD, 5 INT and passer rating of 94.0
    • 14 rushes for 7 yards and 1 TD
Garoppolo entered those games with no pressure to save the team or their season. Essentially, all of his starts were in garbage time. Meanwhile, Kaepernick was playing under immense stress brought on by the scrutiny of a nation full of people who all seemed to have an opinion about the kind of football player he was, the kind of person he was and the kind of American he was.

He was already realizing his time in San Francisco was coming to an end. After all, Kaepernick had watched that very franchise give up on a 44-19-1 head coach who’d led the team to a Super Bowl two seasons prior. If Jim Harbaugh hadn’t been worth their time and aggravation, by the end of last season, Kaep would’ve been crazy to think he would be.

Those were the circumstances he was dealing with – one of the most toxic environments in the NFL – when he put together 9 passing touchdowns to 2 interceptions in his final five games.

If Kaepernick had played his last two NFL seasons under a decent head coach rather than Jim Tomsula (now a defensive line coach in Washington) and Chip Kelly (now back in college football where he belongs), would he have been able to win those five games against the Bears, Texans, Titans, Jaguars and the Rams’ backups? Of course he could have. The evidence is all there.

When the team and the coaching was great, so was Kaepernick. And when the team had given up on him and on themselves, he was still pretty damned good. It’s insulting to pretend like the 49ers were the Browns or the Texans, suffering mercilessly while bad quarterbacks cycled through their starting lineup like the world’s crappiest parade. They needed better general managing and a real head coach, not a new QB.

You do when a guy comes in with no training camp. Limited knowledge of the playbook. Limited weapons on offense. A leaky Oline and a team in the rut basically and he rises their whole play as a team and haul off W's for the rest of the year. Yes you do when you have the cap space to burn.

That’s bullshyt. Jacoby Brissett getting paid too? Some of the most ridiculous posts in here justifying that deal. You can like dude and expect him to ball but still find the deal outrageous. That’s where I’m at.

C'mon breh you know damn well you ain't picking Brissett over Guwop breh stop it:stopitslime:
:beli: was gonna ship Brady ass off if Kraft didnt intervene. That man became a free agent at the right time and showed enough potential to get paid. Who gives a shyt if the contract is front loaded and they can get out after 2 years if he busts. As a organization you make that deal with the way he lifted that team and put fans back in those stands after the way our season was going.

Its a front loaded deal so Im ok with this. Also the 49ers have a shyt load of cap space and we don't have a lot of our own players that we need to spend it on furthermore, if you watch his games he passes the eye test with flying colors especially since he basically had 3 weeks to learn the playbook. Jimmy single handedly made every other position group look better. If we make smart moves in free agency then it gives us the freedom to draft the best player available.
