“He Is Loving Every Minute of It”: Jimmy Garoppolo’s Sideline Still Enrages 49ers Fans

Jimmy Garoppolo has always been a polarizing figure for the San Francisco 49ers loyalists. While the QB joined the team in 2017, he has been part of a Super Bowl run that ended up in a loss after throwing multiple picks to the Chiefs. That was the start of the end for the player who saw another playoff run in 2021.

Many fans question his ability as a game-changer. Experts and supporters have scrutinized his future as Niner. They nearly traded him before the season started. But an injury to Trey Lance saw Jimmy G deputize the QB position and do well. However, after suffering a season-ending himself, his future seems all but sealed. Moreover, this fate comes down to a smile more than his performances.

One thing a player should certainly avoid is looking happy while the fans are miserable. The 49ers had a night to forget in Philadelphia. While they lost their 3rd QB for the season, Brock Purdy, due to an elbow injury. They went on to lose their 4th choice QB, Josh Johnson, in the 3rd quarter as well.

By that time, the visitors were already down 7-21 to the hosts and NFC champions, the Eagles. Amidst the cumbersome experience, fans’ frustrations boiled over when they spotted Jimmy G smiling on the sideline. One fan even wrote, “He is loving every minute of it.”

Although the player seems to be simply enjoying a joke with his teammates, for the fans this sort of situation did not warrant this kind of reaction. The post was filled with angry replies, especially from people who just wanted the player to be traded this upcoming season.

Many Russell Westbrook comparisons came through.

Another fan wondered if he would still be as happy when he was playing for another team.

This hilarious meme caught the moment perfectly.

Even this Philly fan expressed his understanding of this anger from the Niners.

This fan came up with his own assessment of the player.

It might very well be the last time we see Jimmy G in the Red and Golden. The former Super Bowl winner will be entering the 2023 season as an unrestricted free agent, according to sportrac.com. With Lance and Purdy both having the favor of the fans and the coach, it is more than likely that the people would get their wish.
