Jimmy Garoppolo was very tough when he dug for an extra yard at the five yard line, instead of running safely out of bounds. That decision destroyed this season for the Niners.
Carson Wentz did the same thing for the Eagles. He got a touchdown instead of a yard for his trouble, but neither tradeoff made the least bit of sense.
CJ Beathard has stood tall and proud in the pocket, taking a beating worse than Sylvester Stallone got in the original Rocky. If the team trainer asked to slice his eyelid open with a razor so that he could finish a game, I don’t think anyone doubts that he would eagerly say yes.
