The strengths and weaknesses of Jimmy Garoppolo

Check out my video breakdown of Jimmy Garoppolo.

Here are the cliff notes:

STRENGTHS

  1. Intermediate accuracy over the middle. Garoppolo demonstrates excellent arm strength, timing and accuracy when throwing 10 to 20 yards downfield between the numbers, especially on in-breaking routes. These throws are more difficult than they seem. Lots of quarterbacks struggle to throw a pass in stride to a receiver who’s running an in-route — the pass either sails high or behind the receiver. Garoppolo doesn’t have this issue.
  2. Accuracy throwing quick passes, especially to the left.
