Why ex-49ers GM ripped into Jimmy Garoppolo

Who says Jimmy Garoppolo can do no wrong? Certainly not former 49ers general manager Scot McCloughan, who ripped into the injured 49ers quarterback Monday night.

McCloughan seemed bothered after ESPN’s cameras showed Garoppolo sitting in a Levi’s Stadium suite during the 49ers’ 27-23 loss to the Giants. Taking to Twitter, McCloughan wondered why Garoppolo wasn’t down on the field supporting his teammates.

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

Of course, there’s a perfect explanation why Jimmy G, who underwent knee surgery five weeks ago, was safely seated high above the action, as our Cam Inman and others pointed out.
