Jimmy Garoppolo

Kyle Shanahan’s stuck with an inept run game on Sunday, and it may have won him the game.

He hasn’t been with the team for long, but there’s a noticeable difference surrounding the San Francisco 49ers now that Jimmy Garoppolo is at the helm. And a lot of that has to do with how quickly he’s assumed his role as the leader of the team.

Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is fully willing to ditch the game plan and just hit the player who’s open. He did that on two crucial plays in the win over the Titans.

Down 23-22, Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers offense took the field at their own 25 yard line with 1:06 remaining in Sunday’s game against the Titans. Six plays and a minute later, 49ers kicker Robbie Gould hit his sixth field of the afternoon to give San Francisco their third consecutive win since making a potentially franchise altering switch at QB.

The future is finally bright for the 49ers, and Jimmy Garoppolo appears poised to help the franchise contend.

Jimmy Garoppolo has been fantastic in his first two games as the 49ers’ starting quarterback.
