49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo needed to impress in his first game of 2021. He certainly did as the Niners staved off the Lions.
We can dub the 2019 Super Bowl as San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo’s most important game of his career.
But on Sunday against the Detroit Lions in Week 1, this was his most important game as a 49er.
The pressure surrounding Garoppolo is incredible. Every move he makes, every pass he throws, every hand off he orchestrates is watched with oversized magnifying glass.
