Jimmy Garoppolo has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to prove the San Francisco braintrust wrong about his replacement.

The 49ers tried to get rid of him, failed, and are now fortunate to have him waiting in the wings.

Now Goroppolo has the opportunity to show the organisation that he is the better choice in 2022. Perhaps even furthur.
