3 things 49ers’ Jimmy Garoppolo will need to do to succeed in 2019

On one hand, it’s good San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo appears to be making all the necessary throws during organized team activities.

That said, there is inevitably going to be a lot of concern surrounding Jimmy G’s efforts this upcoming season, especially after he looks to rebound after tearing his ACL in Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs last year.

Instead of building on his still-mere 10 pro-level starts over the course of 2018, Garoppolo was forced to spend much of the season rehabbing his injured knee, putting an increased emphasis on living up to the “franchise quarterback” label placed upon him when the Niners inked him to what was then a record-setting five-year, $137.
