Ex-49ers GM roasted for asking why Jimmy Garoppolo not on sideline

Ex-San Francisco 49ers general manger Scot Mccloughan was mad online Monday night.

Mccloughan took issue with injured quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo not standing on the sideline during 49ers-Giants. The long-time executive asked why Garoppolo -- whose season is over due to a torn ACL -- watched the game in a suite, instead of with his teammates.

Why is Jimmy G in a suite when all his teammates are on the field fighting to get a W?

As Jennifer Lee Chan reported last month, neither Garoppolo nor running back Jerick McKinnon are allowed on the sideline while they recover from torn ACLs.
