Right after the Atlanta game ended, my first thought was that I couldn’t believe I’d have to defend Jimmy Garoppolo all week.
I like to be in control in life, and nothing makes you feel less in control than watching football. Oftentimes, you can’t believe what is happening to you, and all you can do is stress eat some more nachos while sitting on your couch.
One day Trey Lance is warming up in OTAs, and you blink, and the next day it’s approaching mid-fall, and you just saw Jimmy G play like he’s Trey Lance — big improvisational shots dripping with power just getting inexcusably dropped by wide-open 2nd stringers.
