Jimmy Garoppolo perhaps might be the most controversial quarterback for the fans. Even in the middle of the playoffs, the fans still cannot decide whether to cheer or boo Garoppolo. The quarterback’s performance has been phenomenal without a doubt. 

With Jimmy G leading the charge, the Niners have won all of their big games. Former San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman has been very vocal when it comes to Jimmy Garoppolo. In a recent edition of his podcast, Sherman praised the 49ers quarterback again. He thinks that San Francisco should keep the veteran and even let him start games next season. Richard has always had Garoppolo’s back.

Richard Sherman gives his honest opinion about Jimmy Garoppolo

The former 49ers cornerback is not concerned with the hater of Jimmy Garoppolo. He believes that the veteran quarterback is an extraordinary talent. The hater can keep on bashing Garoppolo, Sherman does not care.

But the thing that Richard cannot wrap his head around is why are people questioning Jimmy G’s ability on the field? He has proved himself time and time again, but some people still ostracize the veteran. 

During the Richard Sherman Podcast, the CB said, “You have never seen a guy ridiculed this much who keeps winning.” The quarterback has led the 49ers through some big and difficult challenges.

He has even brought the team their second NFC Championship Game in three years. And yet people still criticize him. Granted, Garoppolo did struggle at times. The QB is yet to score a touchdown in the playoffs. He has a total of 303 yards with two interceptions. Jimmy G has a point to prove in the next game.

Jimmy Garoppolo’s next challenge

The 49ers clinched the sixth berth in the playoffs this season. In Week 18, the Niners defeated the Rams to secure their place in the postseason. Ironically enough, Los Angeles is their next opponent. The NFC Championship Game is on Sunday. The San Francisco 49ers have come out on top in their last six meetings with the Los Angeles Rams.

Rams will come in more motivated than ever before. LA would look to knock the Niners out. While San Francisco, on the other hand, is aiming for the Super Bowl. The game between these two NFL titans will be hard-hitting. Will Jimmy Garoppolo prove his worth or will he crumble under the pressure?
