49ers' Jimmy Garoppolo has more upside than you think

Each year's post-Super Bowl hangover usually coincides with another annual tradition: allocating blame to the players and coaches on the losing team. This year's unlucky target for football pundits and fans is the San Francisco 49ers.

Many were quick to pin the disappointing loss on the play-calling and strategic blunders of head coach Kyle Shanahan. The other major target of derision has been the 49ers' quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo.

Garoppolo is either a system quarterback or definitely not a game manager, depending on who you talked to leading into the Super Bowl.
