Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, Los Angeles Rams

IMO that was a prefect example of showing there are in fact deeper routes being run, time to throw, and guys open downfield.

That's just not Jimmy's jam overall…it does require anticipation, trust and touch. He just feels more confident with those in breaking routes and check downs. I believe over 50% of his 1st downs were thrown short of the sticks vs AZ…it's fine because it's working. Our explosives are gonna come on YAC more than through the air with our current QB.

Its actually worked really well over the past 3 years. We were 1st in explosive pass plays in both 2019 and 2021. The 2 years Jimmy happened to stay healthy. 2020 we were 11th in that category.

Until then share everyone else's repeatedly. Okay.

Just reminding you there's a green light here to think and share.

Awesome stuff until the playoffs would come and the playing field shrinks up vs better teams we cant seem to stretch the field with.

🚨IMO, this is why Jimmy Garoppolo will still be replaced. He either refuses or can't make the big throws down the field. The film is the film. Even in a great performance, these types of reps/turn downs speak volumes.🚨#FTTB

A bit harsh, but I never played QB in the NFL, so I'll defer to the experts.

Did you watch the whole video where he praised Jimmy the entire time? Or just found the one nugget to take a shot at Jimmy?

"One of his biggest fans" 🤡

I know it's not a reply to me, but it makes it easier to tie in to the topic. In the spirit of being fair - Jimmy missed a big explosive to Tyler Kroft a few plays later, right before we kick the FG. It was man-cov and we had Kroft open on a wheel route. Jimmy forced it on a double slant to Deebo.
