But he really did look good last night, it is hard not to be at least a little excited.Hate to be that guy, but Garoppolo was playing against scrubs. I would like to see him against starter level competition before I get too high on him. That said, he did look more decisive and confident than Mallett ever has.

Open call: a short, usable nickname that doesn't sound like an insult. Anybody? Anybody?
No you don't lolHate to be that guy, but Garoppolo was playing against scrubs. I would like to see him against starter level competition before I get too high on him. That said, he did look more decisive and confident than Mallett ever has.
Considering what they have been saying about him in practice, I am sure most people were expecting the worse, some people were even saying the Pats were not going to let him out there, because of how bad he looked.He looked good but let's temper it a bit. It was a vanilla set of plays against a vanilla set of players. It's like saying he played "Chopsticks" on the piano very well. He's got a lot of work before he should be anointed. It was promising if he can get comfortable with the system and continue to get better but it's one preseason game.

Garopollo looked good. He will be a terrific backup QB for us. I hope he doesn't take a regular season snap just the same though.
Tyms looked like Sims last preseason. He isn't making this team.
I think in the cases of both Mallett and MarcoPolo (no? no, probably not) the response isn't so much about what they did as how they did it. Mallett looked wooden, skittery, and worst of all, dejected. JimmyDean (hell no) showed a pinch of that magical infectious confidence that surrounds true leaders.
Ben Volin's take on things:

Maybe I made my second Dark & Stormy a bit too strong last night, but I didn't get a sense that Garoppolo was "overwhelmed" in any way. I'll grant that you have to weigh the competition he faced last night — and Volin certainly has spent more time at camp than I have. But I didn't see anything last night that justified such a casual and complete dismissal.

Bad news: Gropp won't see regular season playing time for another 3 years
JAG? Is his middle initial A?
I is just one game, but still nice to see this:
