It’s time to embrace the Jimmy Coaster

There’s nothing quite like the Jimmy coaster. The 49ers' starting quarterback only threw four incompletions Sunday against the Rams. But he had two hold-your-breath throws that could have easily resulted in interceptions.

Garoppolo also threw a touchdown to what effectively was his third or fourth read in Christian McCaffrey after going from one side of the field to the other. Jimmy’s 9.4 yards per attempt isn’t fluffed up by multiple receivers doing the heavy lifting after the catch.

Per RBSDM, 46% of Garoppolo’s throws went for first downs, and he had a 71% success rate.
