I know the draft is always a crapshoot but it wasn't a great year for QBs. Bortles and Manziel are/were terrible, Teddy Bridgewater had potential but blasting caps for knees. Derek Carr is probably the best so far but still not exactly a HoFer. All went before Jimmy G.
Came from a small school, limited experience and doesn't have elite physical traits.

Just like how Rodgers did his.
He looked good in practice today.

Reminds me some of the one that got Alex Smith.

He went to EIU, small school, didn't face a lot of tough competition, questions about him being able to handle an NFL offense and playing under center considering he was coming from an offense that was a step above a typical Air Raid scheme.
He didn't fall, he sky rocketed in the off season prior to the draft.

He went from being talked as a late round flyer pick at the end of the season, to being drafted in the second round by the Patriots.

These comparisons for him are weird. I've seen him compared to Tony Romo to Bucky Brooks calling him a Jeff Garcia clone on 95.7 the game.

Yeah, he reminds me a lot of Romo, he has that quick release.

He's not comparable to Garcia IMO. He might be close to 30lbs heavier, is taller and has a much stronger arm, better release. Garcia was a better scrambler.

Boy, a playpass off of outside stretch action.....I have a funny feeling we will be seeing this.

Daniel Kilgore and Brandon Fusco will have something to say about that.

Cossell said he didn't think Garoppolo was a great comparison to Romo.
I've heard mark bulger...

He isn't.
