The 49ers are reportedly making Jimmy G the NFL's highest-paid quarterback, but can his stellar play hold up over a longer sample?
The NBA Trade Deadline. The Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl parade. Neither came close to the biggest sports news of the day — Jimmy Garoppolo got paid.
The San Francisco 49ers traded a second-round pick to the New England Patriots for Garoppolo on October 31st and were 0-8 at the time. Incumbent starter C.J. Beathard kept the reins for two more weeks and went 1-1 before Garoppolo took over in Week 13.
