The San Francisco 49ers are a tale of two halves. After going 0-8 in the first half of the season, they’ve turned it around and compiled a 4-2 record so far through the second half of the season. That’s thanks in large part to an aggressive front office who was willing to look at their quarterback situation honestly and say:
“We need to do better.”
Enter Jimmy Garoppolo, who has won all three of his starts, never thrown for less than a 61 percent completion percentage, and has rattled off 715 yards and two touchdowns in his last two starts.
