Recently, I laid out my reasoning for why I believe Jimmy Garoppolo is a much less appealing quarterback option for the New York Jets than Derek Carr.
My main argument is that Garoppolo has been a beneficiary of great surroundings in San Francisco while Carr has been forced to overcome terrible surroundings with the Raiders. Because of this, it’s easier to picture Carr succeeding on a new team than Garoppolo. Carr has exceeded the expectations laid by his supporting cast while Garoppolo has only matched those expectations, failing to soar beyond them when the team needs it.
