Jimmy Garoppolo isn’t to blame for 49ers loss to Chiefs in Super Bowl 54

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and head coach Kyle Shanahan are getting most of the blame after losing a 10-point deficit to the Kansas City Chiefs late in the fourth quarter.

There are a few pros and cons throughout the Super Bowl that people can nitpick, but let’s look at the facts:

2019 was Garoppolo’s first full season as a starter. He helped lead the the No. 2 scoring offense in the league, threw for 3,978 yards, and was tied for fifth in the league with Drew Brees for most passing touchdowns (27).
