Jimmy G the Truth or Bust?

The hottest topic towards the end of the season was the man the 49ers call, Gucci Garop. After San Francisco traded the New England Patriots a 2nd round draft pick for him, Jimmy is looking like a steal of 2017.

When the 49ers traded for Jimmy, the 49ers were struggling to pull victories out. The team couldn't pull W's although they were very close in almost every game. The 49ers front office believed they needed a change so they made an aggressive move for a QB.

The aggressive move was to trade for Jimmy Garoppolo. Although he was going into his last year of his contract, the Niners knew that if he wasn't as good as they thought, they would end up with a top 10 draft pick in a draft loaded with talented QB's. Of course this didn't happen. In fact, he exceeded expectations.

When the 49ers didn't have Jimmy at the helm, they were 1-10. When Jimmy took over, the 49ers won 5 in a row. Finishing with a 6-10 record.

Although Jimmy hasn't lost a game as a 49er starter, he has a lot of people wondering if he is in fact, the real deal. Players in the league have publicly come out with strong opinions for whether he is great or if he is overhyped.

A story showing how great he is, would be from a place where no bad usually comes out of. After Jimmy's success in San Francisco, there was tension in New England. The story broke out in the media that Bill Belichick didn't want to trade Jimmy Garoppolo. The tension between Tom Brady and Bill Belichick has never been higher. Ever since the story broke, the Patriots best player has been taking action this season by not showing up to voluntary mini camp. Which he has never missed in his career.

Other players like corner back Jalen Ramsey of the Jacksonville Jaguars have come out and publicly got on the media to say Jimmy's high praises is too early. He mentioned that although they were one of the teams that had lost to the 49ers when Jimmy took over, there wasn't enough film on him.

In my opinion, the 49ers should be very scary with Jimmy Garroppolo at QB. It is a small sample size, but he has shown a lot with the little time he had. It should be a very exciting time for 49er fans.
