Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, Los Angeles Rams

Analyze the "Great QBs" and you'll find a million catches where the reciver had to make an adjustment to make the catch. "The Catch" was only a thing because Clark made a low probability circus catch. Last night everything Rodgers threw was low or short and the reciever had to go down to get it. On the long pass before the bloked FG, he probably scores if Rodgers doesn't make him turn completely around for the ball.

This pass was "off" by inches, but it still hit Kittle in the chest and in stride. KIttle would tell you he should make that catch 100 times out of 100.

It contributes, obviously, but I think -- like Kyle has alluded to -- bringing in a bunch of guys that just clearly love football and love playing for each other is the main factor in the team's attitude, not necessarily Jimmy's attitude. IOW, I'm truly giving him credit for "who he isin't" instead of "who he is."

That's great and all, but eventually I have to play the games on my tv screen and watch what happened. The offensive production was horrid last night and we were saved. Hopefully we get lucky next week when it's not zero degrees conditions and play better.

Three straight weeks of disappointment.

And reaching.

Geebus!

No he didn't. The difference was the STs play.

Yes his arms reacted late. They would've had to react earlier. Rewatch the play. I don't really need to gif it do I? You see the ball hit him on his trailing shoulder pad right?

You can't reach back for a pass behind you late,....it's just not gonna happen. Your hands & arms need to be extended earlier. A pass @ least on his chest or in front is an easy grab and his hands and arms are just fine.

Is anything I'm saying untrue??

Not sure what your point is other than our QB needs to be 100 percent perfect 100 percent of the time. Every ball between the numbers every single time or in a lead position. Other guys can miss a block, whiff tackles, drop passes, blow coverage on Aaron Jones but JG you have to be 100 percent perfect every single play it's all i ask

Bad play by Kittle (late recognition/reaction),...Bad play by Jimmy (behind his WR running full speed). Didn't need to be 100%. Just needed to be on him or in front. With wide open guys, he just has too many of these.

Rewatch and if you see something different on this play, let me know.

No he didn't. He just had the better team around him. Would the Niners have won that game without the special teams play? I doubt it.

1. Kittle usually makes that play but his arms reacted too late. He expected the pass on his chest (just going by the photo).

2. Jimmy tossed it slightly behind him. Throws it better and it's an easy completion.

What's funny about that? I can't legitimately blame both players for a missed opportunity?

Its called nit picking. The question should be. Should George have caught that pass? The answer is, absolutely. End of discussion.

Sorry fella. Seen too many of these types of passes (behind/off target) on wide open guys. Brings back painful memories.

If it weren't a consistent inconsistency from him, I would've never mentioned it. But they add up.

I'll never get on a player for one play. This is an example of a clear pattern that is part of why we drafted a new guy using 3 1sts.

Don't like the truth? Might as well stop responding to the same exact thing then,...you're kinda turning me into a broken record.

Ya that's definitely a weird thing about Jimmy, you rarely see him throw it away. I really wonder why? Could be a kink thing and he enjoys getting hit

No....just being stupid. Vetetan QB should know better.

If only Jimmy was ad talented as Rodgers he would throw it where his receivers could catch it perfectly in stride....
Oh oops. Almost like it's hard to be perfect in those conditions.

I would hope as a teammate you stand by your teammate. Your not going to talk bad about them unless you have a dysfunctional team.

The fact that you're even putting 1% of blame on Jimmy for this drop is deplorable, laughable, and just asinine. Absolute trash take.

There's plenty else to blame or critique Jimmy on. This play shouldn't even be anywhere near that long list. If Kittle catches this ball that's placed right on his numbers, it's a TD or at the very least inside the 10.

Nitpicking to the max. Like holy sh*t dude.

Terry Bradshaw at halftime talking about the throw he said it was a dropped touchdown. No mention of ball placement. He has no bias pro or against JG.

Listen to Kittle himself "bad play by me should have been a touchdown"

End of convo.
