Jimmy Garoppolo Posted A Repulsive 0.0 QB Rating In His Return And Fans Are Already Losing Their Sh*t

Jimmy Garoppolo hasn’t seen game action in nearly one full calendar year after suffering a torn ACL in week 3 of last year. And holy shit it shows.

Less than a week after making headlines for throwing five consecutive interceptions in practice, the 27-year-old had one of the most abysmal outings you’ll see a starting quarterback have. His statline in the 24-15 win over the Broncos: 1/6 for 0 yards, an interception, and a quarterback rating of 0.0.

I know it’s preseason, but we’re also talking about the dude who signed a record 5-year, $137.5 million contract only to throw 8 INTs in 8 49ers starts in his career.

Here is Garoppolo’s putrid night in 30 seconds (He should’ve had two interceptions if it weren’t for a Broncos defender’s drop).

“Obviously a little frustrated but it’s the NFL,” Garoppolo said, via NBC Sports Bay Area. “Unfortunately, we don’t get to play the whole game right now so I only get so many plays. You wish you could be out there for more so we could bounce back. But it is what it is. It’s preseason right now, so we just have to take it in stride.”

Before last season’s injury, Garoppolo finished the 2018 season with a 59.6 completion percentage, 718 passing yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions in three games. This came in the wake of a 2017 season in which the Eastern Illinois product won five straight for a previously winless 49ers squad.

It’s been a while since Garoppolo has shown flashes of his potential, and NFL Twitter has taken notice. All aboard the Nick Mullens train!!

I guess if my employer handed me $137 million, I probably would mail it in too.
