In Week 1, he was too reckless.
In Week 2, he was too cautious.
The question for Week 3: When will Jimmy Garoppolo be as glorious as he was last year?
Perceptions change rapidly in the NFL. And that fact is neatly illustrated this week with the 49ers and Garoppolo visiting Kansas City and QB Patrick Mahomes.
Less than two week ago, when Garoppolo had a 7-0 record, there were jokes about him never losing a start in his career. That crack about unsustainable perfection is so five minutes ago: It has been replaced by the one about Mahomes, 23, and his ability to maintain his current 80-touchdown, 0-interception pace for his next 14 starts.
