One of the worst insults you can throw at a quarterback is “game manager.” It suggests a talentless, careful, dull Q.B. who tries to win through caution.
Screw that. Jimmy Garoppolo is a game manager, and I love it.
He’s not bombing it all over the field, freelancing on broken plays, or throwing crazy bombs while falling that evade the C.B.’s eager hands by inches for a touchdown.
Nope, all he does is win. The guy is 14-2 as a starter, and 7 of those games were with a bad team. Eight were on the road.
