49ers mailbag: What to make of Garoppolo’s completion rate?

SANTA CLARA – After four straight days of applying sunscreen, rotating notepads and studying 49ers practices, it’s safe to break out the first mailbag of training camp (questions submitted via Twitter and Instagram):

First, be happy his left knee looks healthy. He’s enduring a lot of reps after September’s ACL Armageddon. His 50.0 completion percentage (24 of 48) reflects more than rusty passes sailing high, low and behind receivers. Credit the defense, suspect blocking, young receivers and, yes, a QB on the mend.
