How big a difference Jimmy Garoppolo will make for the 49ers in 2018?

In case you didn’t notice, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is something of a big deal.

The Niners’ newest big commodity helped engineer a five-game win streak to close out 2017, one that included wins over three teams headed to the postseason. All this for a Niners squad that had started 1-10 before he took over starting duties in Week 12.

Garoppolo is a free agent this offseason, although San Francisco will ensure he’s back in 2018. Either on a long-term deal or under a franchise tag — whichever option seems best at the time.

And while the hype around the Garoppolo-led 49ers is real, we have to ask the question what kind of impact he’ll have this upcoming season.
