Richard Sherman loves Jimmy Garoppolo. All the San Francisco 49ers continue to do is win. They are 10-1 and maybe the most complete team in the NFL. Critics have actually pointed the finger at Jimmy G claiming that he is the one piece that could potentially hold this team back. Richard Sherman has his back and will not stand for the criticism Jimmy G gets.
“You hear some of the noise and things said about him, and it’s frustrating, because we see him every day,” Sherman said. “We see what kind of work ethic he puts in, the hours he puts in preparing — the first one in, the last one out. The guy looks for no credit. All he does is encourage his teammates and put more work in.
“And then you have people nit-picking. We run for 300 yards, and they’re like, ‘Well, he didn’t throw a lot.’ We ran for 300 yards! You know, then he throws for 400, and they’re like, ‘Well, I think he got out-played by Kyler Murray.’ And Kyler Murray barely had 100 yards passing [150 yards on 24-of-33 passing last week]. And you start to laugh at these things, but you’re like, the goalposts keep moving with him.
“And the one thing you can appreciate — and I’ve said this before — you can appreciate being good enough that people got to make excuses for why you’re good. He’s a good enough quarterback that people have to make excuses, they have to move the bar. …
“What else can the guy do? He’s helping his football team win football games, and he deserves a ton more credit for that.”
There’s something to be said for winning. Jimmy Garoppolo does nothing except win. (not that this was surprising to me) The 49ers are 10-1. Jimmy G is 18-3 as a starting quarterback. What more do you want? There is no question that the Italian Stallion is not only good looking but also a quality quarterback too. Say whatever you want. Jimmy G has basically been winning more than anyone else when he steps on the field.
