Jimmy Garoppolo: Did the Patriots dodge a bullet?

[Triumph]

It is funny how some people who wanted the Pats to sign Garoppolo and trade away Mac used part of their reasoning because Mac is soft because of how he reacted to his ankle sprain. For Jimmy G, that might have been a career ending injury. Certainly would have landed him on IR.

Corky has not proven that he is Joe Ferguson either.

He looked pretty good versus Miami until he got hurt. It's a shame.

The funny thing is JG is arguably the LEAST injury prone QB Shanahan has had

2017
During the 49ers' Week 11 matchup at home to the Seattle Seahawks on November 26, Beathard suffered a leg and hip injury at the end of the 4th quarter and was replaced by recent trade acquisition Jimmy Garoppolo

2018
After playing in Week 8 against the Cardinals, Beathard suffered a wrist injury. Nick Mullens started the next game against the Oakland Raiders in Beathard's place.[55] Beathard did not appear in any other games in the 2018 season

2019
Jimmy Garoppolo played all 16 games

2020
On December 22, 2020, it was announced that Mullens would miss the rest of the season with an elbow injury he suffered in the 49ers 41–33 loss against the Dallas Cowboys.[53][54] He was placed on injured reserve three days later.

2021
JG played 15 games

2022
Lance was named the starter over Garoppolo for the 2022 season, but appeared in only two games before suffering a season-ending ankle injury against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2

During the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles on January 29, Purdy suffered an injury to his right elbow. He was replaced by Josh Johnson.[53] Following Johnson's concussion in the third quarter, Purdy reentered the game

WTF is Shanahan doing that is getting his QBs hurt so often?

You should ask the same thing about his RB's as well in the most RB friendly offense. Since Shanahan has been there, each starter has gotten injured and lost their job to the backup.

And it seems his drummers all explode.

Excellent Spinal Tap reference. RIP Mick Shrimpton.
