I watched a video in maybe 2019 where Garoppolo’s mechanics were critiqued and he had some issue where he doesn’t square his hips to the direction he’s throwing and, as a result, doesn’t step into throws. So he is good and accurate(in theory) on short throws but can’t throw downfield for shit.
I wonder if he’s never fixed that and if that’s why he isn’t allowed to throw anything that isn’t a shallow cross/out, screen, or curl. (Unless deebo is running open by 15 yards).
Jimmy G is clearly a smart guy, if not a good football player, and so he probably has a really good understanding/grasp of what is Shanahan’s supposedly complex “build on itself throughout the game/season” offense. But if he understands it and can’t execute it because he can’t throw the ball down the field, like say Matt Ryan can, he might as well just be on the coaching staff.
Just move on to Trey Lance so we can start to figure out where that ridiculous trade lands in comparison to the RGIII debacle.
