It all started with Hall of Fame QB Steve Young saying the following about Garopollo’s situation in an interview with KNBR’s “Tolbert, Krueger and Brooks.”
He also compared the Garoppolo-Lance situation to the Alex Smith-Patrick Mahomes one in Kansas City:
Garoppolo clears the air in QB battle with Trey Lance
It is clear that Garoppolo is not comfortable with the situation, so is a trade on the horizon?
Possible suitors for Jimmy Garoppolo
New York Giants
Daniel Jones is not the answer. The Giants have a ton of problems, especially in the offensive line. But after three years, it’s clear what Jones can and cannot do.
Jones has 42 TDs in three years (22 passing and five rushing) and 40 turnovers (22 interceptions and 18 fumbles lost). What’s worse, he fumbled 30 times! Fortunately for the QB, the Giants recovered 12 of them.
Garoppolo may not be brilliant or have Jones’ ability to run, but he is trustworthy and competent enough to lead his team to a Super Bowl.
Washington Football Team
Washington’s QB1 today is Taylor Heinicke, an undrafted veteran who only started three games in his seven-year career.
The other options are Kyle Allen—another undrafted QB who only started one season and finished with a QB rating of 80—and Ryan Fitzpatrick—17 years of experience and 38 years old.
Garoppolo is a cut above WFT’s options at the moment and would instantly be a starter, marshaling the team for a a couple of years.
Is Garoppolo heading to the NFC East?
Only Garoppolo and his agent can confirm this. But playing for a team that has clear plans to move on, and with two teams in need of a QB, Garoppolo should at least consider a trade.
