In a deal with the New England Patriots before the close of the 2017 campaign, Jimmy Garoppolo moved to the San Francisco 49ers. Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, the head coach of the Patriots, were at odds, allowing the 49ers to sign Garoppolo.

Belichick chose Garoppolo as Brady's successor. Brady was not yet prepared to retire, and since Garoppolo was close to becoming a free agent, Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots, gave Belichick the order to transfer Garoppolo.

Jimmy Garoppolo's record with the Niners is 39-18 since he's been with the team. Additionally, he has a 40-17 career record as a starter.

Garoppolo played with the 49ers for five years before this season. The squad made it to the Super Bowl and the NFC Championship game in the only two seasons he played the majority of the time. He led a 1-10 squad to a five-game winning run at the end of his first campaign in San Francisco.

Additionally, there may be cause to think that Garoppolo is still developing as an NFL quarterback. Even though he has played in the NFL for eight seasons, he has only started 57 games, which equals little more than three full seasons.

Jimmy Garoppolo has played for teams that have won two Super Bowls. Additionally, he guided the 49ers to their first Super Bowl participation in seven years.

How has Jimmy Garoppolo performed in the 22/23 NFL season?

The New England Patriots selected Jimmy Garoppolo in the second round of the 2014 Draft.

He was undefeated in his first seven games as the San Francisco 49ers' starter (7-0). When he inked a five-year, $137.5 million contract in 2018, it was the biggest contract in league history.

New starting quarterback Trey Lance suffered an ankle fracture in the second game of the season, which meant he won't play again till next season.

The San Francisco 49ers are pleased that a deal for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo did not occur last offseason because he has successfully kept the team afloat.

Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to be a free agent this offseason and might command a high price. The 31-year-old quarterback has a 6-3 record while serving as the team's starting quarterback this season, completing 67.4 percent of his throws for 2,381 yards, four interceptions, and 16 touchdowns.

According to Kyle Shanahan, the head coach of the 49ers, Garoppolo broke his foot on Sunday and will miss the rest of the season.
