Jimmy Garoppolo is the backup quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams franchise in the NFL. ‘Jimmy G’ as he is fondly known has been a part of four teams in the league now. Starting his career as the backup to Tom Brady at New England, the Illinois native was traded to the San Francisco 49ers where he would go on to become a starter. After spending a single season with the Las Vegas Raiders, Garoppolo will now play for the Los Angeles Ram.
Entering his eleventh season in the NFL, Garoppolo is looking to take on a new role as the backup quarterback to Matthew Stafford. Whether it was the team or Garoppolo himself, the Las Vegas Raiders and him had a less than stellar year together. In 2023, Garoppolo had 1205 passing yards, 7 touchdowns, on 9 interceptions, and started for 6 games in total. He led the Raiders to a 8-9 record and the team did not make the playoffs last season. Garoppolo's departure from the team does not come as a surprise and he has been heavily scrutinized for his below average performance in the 2023 season. How far will Stafford and Garoppolo take the Rams? Likely not too far as their star defensive lineman, Aaron Donald, announced his retirement in March of 2024.
