SAD NEWS: Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo re-sign another four years historic contract deal worth $180 million with San Francisco 49ers today….
It’s crucial to keep in mind that Jimmy Garoppolo also had a historically fantastic start to his career before experiencing severe setbacks following his departure from the 49ers.
In terms of statistics, Brock Purdy has had one of the best career starts of any quarterback in history.
He boasts a 17–4 win–loss record, a passer rating of 111.4, and Super Bowl experience—albeit without a victory. Nevertheless, it appears obvious at this point that the 49ers are willing to pay Purdy the highest salary of any player in the NFL come next season and to keep him as their starting quarterback for a considerable amount of time. However, it’s crucial to keep in mind that Jimmy Garoppolo also had a historically fantastic start to his career. However, after leaving the 49ers, he had severe difficulties and is currently the backup quarterback for the Rams.
It’s evident to everyone who have watched Purdy and Garoppolo play that Purdy is superior. He is simply superior; he is more nimble, accurate, intelligent, and prepared. However, because of the 49ers and the widespread belief that he would make a fantastic franchise quarterback—a notion that now appears ridiculous—Garoppolo was once the highest-paid athlete in the NFL.
However, Garoppolo won 18 of his next 21 starts after taking over a squad that was 1-10 without him. That was really amazing. A 7-4 squad sans Purdy had a loaded roster when he took over. Thus, he possessed certain advantages that Garoppolo lacked.
Garoppolo and Purdy took over the 49ers in the middle of the season. Both were successful right away. Both suffered severe injuries early in their 49ers careers. In their first full season following an injury, both players made it to the Super Bowl.
Subsequently, Garoppolo’s fate is well known to us; he sustained an injury, recovered, and was replaced. The NFL swiftly and brutally exposed his limits after catching up to his skill set.
