Jimmy Garoppolo is playing excellent football this season. Last Sunday, he helped the Niners win against the Saints, 48-46. Also, he led the team to an 11-2 record, which is the best in the NFC. He completed 69.5 percent of passes for a total yardage of 3,245. Besides, he got 25 TDs with only 11 interceptions so far.
Although the quarterback is not in the running for MVP honors, he has substantial numbers as San Francisco continues to win games. However, there’s one thing that Garoppolo lacks and that is consistency.
When the 49ers defeated the Saints, the quarterback was consistent. However, he can’t do it game after game. Some bookie resources placed him on the second tier in 2017. In 2018, he suffered an ACL injury in Week 3. As a result, he went down to the third tier among NFL QBs.
Jimmy Garoppolo Needs Consistency
There’s a debate among users of the best sports betting platform on whether Garoppolo is an elite QB this season. Some people say the 49ers are doing good this season. However, they are still reluctant to call Garoppolo as an elite quarterback.
Sports betting software analysts compare his numbers to elite QBs, such as Russell Wilson, Lamar Jackson, and Patrick Mahomes. They concluded that Garoppolo’s numbers are not the same as the elite ones. However, they can’t ignore the fact that he has a 19-4 record as a starter for his NFL career.
Some bookie pay per head providers said he’s a talented thrower. However, he doesn’t have the arm strength to throw long balls. He makes up for it through precision, as he knows where to throw the ball every play.
This Sunday, Garoppolo has a chance to impress his doubters when San Francisco plays Atlanta at home.
