Last year, I wrote a post on what happens if Jimmy Garoppolo could regress. As I said there, and I’ll say again, no one is arguing how impressive Garoppolo has been. But in that same vein, no one argued how impressive Scott Mitchell, Matt Cassel, and Matt Flynn were in their sample size either.

In his three-game campaign for 2018, Garoppolo was far from bad, but he wasn’t near the level we were used to in that magical 2017.
