Jimmy Garoppolo isn't supposed to be here.
in Week 2. Now, 12 weeks into the NFL season, Garoppolo is in the midst of the best campaign of his career for a 49ers team that sits atop the NFC West at 7-4.
In 10 games this season, Garoppolo's completing 67.4% of his passes for 238.1 yards per game with 16 touchdowns and four interceptions. He's not a threat to lead the league in passing. But he's limiting the mistakes that have plagued him in the past. His 4-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio is by far the best of his career. In his previous best season as a starter, Garoppolo threw 27 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
Does this mean that Garoppolo's a top-three quarterback? Of course not. It's just one more tool to measure a player's performance. Nobody's mistaking Garoppolo for an MVP candidate. But he doesn't have to be. The 49ers offense is built around Garoppolo getting the ball into the hands of his playmakers and letting them take things from there. The 49ers have some of the best playmakers in the league.
They include All-Pro receiver Deebo Samuel, three-time Pro Bowl tight end George Kittle and third-year receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who's in the midst of his much-anticipated breakout as San Francisco's leader in catches , yards and touchdowns . Then there's the trade-deadline addition of Christian McCaffrey, whose upside is the most dynamic back in football. If he's healthy for a playoff run, watch out.
