MIAMI — Jimmy Garoppolo’s teammates spent the aftermath of their NFC Championship teasing their starting quarterback. Is your arm sore? Yeah, real sore, Garoppolo joked back.
He did, after all, attempt a taxing eight passes in the blowout win over Green Bay.

The disrespect toward Garoppolo is teetering on becoming a trope. His teammates were kidding, but it’s real outside the 49ers locker room. That’s the reputation that comes for a quarterback who takes a backseat on a team’s Super Bowl run.
Don’t count Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman among the haters.
