Looks like the Niners got a Qb

Montana. Young. Kap. Guwop.

Yeah, Kaep and Jimmy G don't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Montana and Young.

This is what he did well in college as well. The league will adjust to exactly this.

What does he have when teams take away his strength?

That is the question

he looked like ass in college imo. his tape was awful. he had that deer in the headlights pocket presence and happy feet. I think pats did a fantastic job teaching him stay in the pocket and navigate it only when faced with pressure.

your question is correct to ask, and the jags game should provide some answers.

Yea those flat footed throws concern me but his arm is still good but his release is so quick and accurate which impresses me the most

the release and armstrength compensate for throwing off the backfoot, but you can only make so many throws flat footed. most of his backfoot throws been bullets across the middle or inside the hash. I do want to see more touch passes.

accuracy is definitely encouraging

The NFL is vicious sport. What you do well, teams adjust in the off-season and then you have nothing, especially average arm QBs.

Fanbases learn this every off-season. If 49ers don't draft Barkley, they'll be next on that Summer Jam screen

Jimmy G has above average arm strength, he is going to be fine on that front. Kyle is a great offensive mind, so teams adjust and so will the offense that is nothing to worry about. We don't need Barkley, we need to trade back and get nelson to protect Jimmy G you can find great rb's later and the niners should resign hyde to be honest.

Im trying to have my optimism curbed but he's looked good. He needs to throw off his backfoot less and sometimes he loses sight of wide open outlets (ie, progressions and play knowledge arent really there yet).
He really shines on the inside the hash intermediate throws

majority of those backfoot throws have alot to do with the o-line and are atrocious guard play

the point is if you do it too much nothing good will come out of it. it shouldnt become a habit, and I see a few of those throws without pressure as well...

obviously hes facing pressure a lot due to leaky interior line.

That is true but many habits are formed out of necessity and our poor guard play is forcing to back peddle instead of stepping up in the pocket as he should because all the pressure coming from the interior which is why we need to draft nelson and majority of those throws disappear and obviously every qb throws off their back foot at times. fix the o-line and that issue most likely goes away

Garappolo looking like an unseasoned Case Keenum and somehow I'm supposed to be excited by him?



Like the dude is in him prime RIGHT NOW. How could you every build around a QB like that?

Makes no sense. The guy will never win a Super Bowl or get anywhere close.

But... yea... I get it -- he's white so being halfway decent is good enough.

Kaep affected the game much more than this guy and the niners fanbase ran him out the league. What you think go happen to 'Jimmy G'???

But he already has 2

Jimmy G throws possibly the most accurate, catchable ball since Young or Marino....i can't properly describe it but it's elegant AF to watch.

Quick release. Elusive. Mobile. Smart. Leader.

He's a got damn star and you just don't know it yet.​

Can’t stand you cacs

I think he can be the real deal if they keep providing him with weapons

He looked like Romo in college. He had pocket presence issues but time usually fixes that if the QB isn't scared to get hit. Garrapollo was always a great talent. He was a low 1st round to 2nd round pick. I wouldn't say the Pats "developed" him as much as he developed on his own.

I hated his tape and thought he looked nothing like Romo. he'd panic and run around the pocket aimlessly on a lot of his tape, ruining any semblance of timing on offense.

I'm serious, I thought he was going to be a huge bust and I didn't think he's a NFL starter

this is what I wrote in 2014:

he has one of the most happy feet Ive ever seen in a qb. and Ive seen a lot of happy feet qbs in my lifetime. some garbage footwork

he hasnt shown the ability to step up in the pocket or make quick decisions

tony romo comparison is horrible

all he has is quick release and mobility.

hes an extreme long-term project imo.
