The San Francisco 49ers had a record of 1 to 10, with their only win over the unfortunate giants. The Niners quarterbacks, Brian Hoyer and C.J. Beathard, had been very poor. Then came Jimmy Garoppolo.
The season was lost long ago, but San Francisco still designed an exchange late October, sending a second-round pick to the New England Patriots for Garoppolo, Tom Brady's reserve.
Since the agreement, Garoppolo has started four games for the Niners. The results were surprising. Of the quarterbacks with four or more starts, the best attempt-adjusted result is Alex Smith, who has a one-year career with the Kansas City Chiefs. The second is Brady. The third is Garoppolo.
The most important thing is that Garoppolo took a terrible team and made it suddenly unbeatable, with four wins in four starts, including two playoff victories, the Tennessee Titans and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
