It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Seems like a rather crass reaction to suggest that this could've been seen coming, as if Garoppolo's durability was a legitimate concern, because I didn't hear this narrative until today. This was his second injury in his career, no? The first of which was relatively minor, the second of which was freak, non-contact situation.
Garappolo's team was trailing late in the game and he was attempting to gain several extra yards. The injury didn't occur as a result of a hit he took (or exposed himself to), but rather because of an entirely unfortunate and unlucky misstep. This could have happened to anyone.
Maybe not a surprising development given that football inherently violent, but certainly not an expected one (in my opinion). Again, this could have happened to anyone playing any sport.
Can we start an injury thread for every NFL player that has been injured, cause some guy on the Cowboys May have just broken his arm and I would like to start a thread about it.

I somewhat disagree. I remember some talk about his style of play might expose him to injury. The hit he took when he went out with the shoulder arguably would have been avoided by Brady. Today he could have stepped out safely but he chose to get that extra yard that wouldn't have amounted to anything.
That your post was pure nonsense? Totally agree.Those are facts.
This injury may not support any concern about his durability. But there were definitely people questioning whether Garoppolo knew how to protect himself as a QB and whether he played too recklessly which would lead to injuries.
One of the most underrated things about Brady is his ability to avoid injuries. Brady would have know to either slide or step out of bounds on that play rather than take the hit.
I really don’t want to make this a told you so moment. I had concerns about Garoppolo, but that wasn’t high on my list. Just pointing out that people did raise this concern.
It sucks. Never like when a player gets injured.
How has Jimmy played so far on SF? Overhyped or good?That your post was pure nonsense? Totally agree.
Garoppolo had ONE injury in his career that took him out of a couple games. Have you seen the punishment he's absorbed so far this season in the pocket? He's not a fragile injury risk by any stretch of imagination. Today's knee injury was the sort you see happening to RBs and WRs all the time. His run on which it occurred came with his team trailing by two scores and time running short with the game on the line.
Stop your cryin Fatman
A mixed bag but he generally has thrown the ball well.How has Jimmy played so far on SF? Overhyped or good?

Gotcha, I understand. I honestly never recall those discussions happening or those concerns being expressed but I have no doubt you're right. I wasn't frequenting the forum much back then.
Feel terrible for Jimmy G. You can say it was a reckless play, which it was, but ironically it appears the injury was sustained before contact. In other words, it happened while planting and cutting, which could really happen on any play.
