Fans react to Martellus Bennett calling Jimmy Garoppolo a b*itch

Jimmy Garoppolo recently received a blindside hit from an old teammate. Former New England Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett is known to call it how he sees it. He did just that when he appeared on the Double Coverage With The McCourty Twins podcast.The former tight end sounded off about the San Francisco 49ers quarterback over an incident when they both played for New England. Not sugarcoating his words, Bennett called Garoppolo a b*itch for missing time due to an injury:&quot;Bro, we lost two games. One of them was because Jimmy Garoppolo was being a b----. He decided not to play right before the game. Jacoby (Brissett) came out and played with a f---ed up thumb and played his heart out, but Jimmy was just being a b---- about it all... You can't win with a b---- for a quarterback.&quot;Dov Kleiman@NFL_DovKleiman@Edelman11 @IAMATHLETEpod For more context, here's Martellus Bennett speaking on the @McCourtyTwins Double Coverage podcast about Jimmy Garoppolo.&quot;You can’t win with a bitch for a quarterback.&quot;36566@Edelman11 @IAMATHLETEpod For more context, here's Martellus Bennett speaking on the @McCourtyTwins Double Coverage podcast about Jimmy Garoppolo.&quot;You can’t win with a bitch for a quarterback.&quot;https://t.co/1AbDpcRKkcUpon hearing this, NFL fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the matter.

This would mean an exit for Garoppolo, who is currently recovering from shoulder surgery.There has not been much interest in trading for the quarterback yet, as teams seem cautious about making a move until he has fully recuperated. In the meantime, he remains with the 49ers but is expected to move on before the season kicks off. There will be no shortage of suitors for the former Patriot, with several teams potentially needing a veteran under center.The likely landing-spots are the Seattle Seahawks, the Carolina Panthers and potentially the Houston Texans. Garoppolo would be an upgrade on all the quarterbacks those franchises currently have on their rosters.Other franchises will likely enter the fray depending on pre-season injuries or suspensions. If Deshaun Watson gets a season-long ban, it is possible, though unlikely, that the Cleveland Browns may show an interest in the 49er.It will be interesting to see if he remains with San Francisco when the season kicks off in a few months time.If you use any of the above quotes, please credit Double Coverage With The McCourty Twins, I Am Athlete podcast and H/T Sportskeeda.
