New quarterback Jimmy Garopplo and former Bears kicker Robbie Gould moved the ball and scored all the points in a 15-14 victory over the Bears in Chicago.
Tight ends must know the entire play call, just like quarterbacks, so they are likely to correct any call that Jimmy Garoppolo doesn’t get right in his opening start as a 49er.
There’s not enough time to learn how good Jimmy Garoppolo really is for the rest of this season. That’s why a franchise tag is the only thing that makes sense for him.
After impressing during the final three plays of the 49ers’ loss to the Seahawks last weekend, and throwing a touchdown in the process, Jimmy Garoppolo will make his first start as a member of the 49ers this Sunday against the Chicago Bears, the team has announced.
