Although Jimmy Garoppolo was formerly well-known throughout the NFL, he appears to be falling out of favor when it comes to quarterback talks. His performance during the Rams‘ most recent training camp also doesn’t exactly assist his cause. Fans are questioning whether Garoppolo has completely lost his touch as reports from camp indicate that quarterback is making more incompletions than anything else.
One especially nasty one from Eric Lambkins II provided some insight into the quarterback’s preparation regimen:
#Rams QB Jimmy Garoppolo has missed WR Tyler Johnson on three occasions for touchdowns. Overthrow…overthrow…and as I’m typing this, he’s picked off by CB Charles Woods. #LambsChop #NFL @SportingTrib

For those who remember when Garoppolo was the next big thing, this is a heartbreaking situation.
He is currently serving as Matthew Stafford’s backup with the Rams following a disappointing season with the Raiders last year. It’s also difficult to ignore the fact that, despite his limited experience, he might be a reliable choice if Stafford ever needs a break at the quarterback position.
Fans react to Jimmy Garoppolo screw up
On social media, fans ridiculed Garoppolo for his most recent gaffes, with jokes spreading faster than his passes:
😂 As a 49ers fan. Now you guys could see what we felt in practice and games.

It’s clear to assume that Jimmy needs to put in some effort if he hopes to regain his prominence. He’s going to face more than simply criticism till then.
