SANTA CLARA – Everyone expects more from Jimmy Garoppolo this season. More than last season. You know, the one that ended in the Super Bowl, and ended without a trophy.
They’ll say Garoppolo is destined for the Year 2 bounce in coach Kyle Shanahan’s system, an improvement curve that Atlanta’s Matt Ryan rode in 2016 to NFL MVP honors and a Super Bowl berth.
Even Matt Schaub enjoyed a career year in his second season under Shanahan’s tutelage, with the 2009 Houston Texans.
