Garoppolo is a different quarterback since he's returned from the ACL injury.  I suspect he's still really feeling it in his legs.  He was never a truly mobile quarterback, but today he's a statue, with more than a little Jim Everett in him.  No pocket presence, hears feet, can't really throw deep or to the sidelines.  Unbelievably overrated since he came back from the injury.  Pre-injury, I thought he was less experienced but a more capable QB.  Now, his ceiling is incredibly low.  And in games when the Niners are forced to move away from the run, it really shows.

Late hit call was ridiculous.  Murray forced it with his whining-like-a-teenage-girl, Euro-soccer-complainer antics.

Agree completely on JG.


As to the “late hit” - those should be reviewable.  The defender was already in the act of to making the tackle when Murray was upright.   What he supposed to do stop himself. First I think it’s physically almost impossible. Second the only way he might be able to do so is to risk ripping out both his knees. Course they don’t care about that they just want to protect the quarterbacks because that’s where the money is for the league.

The only way for him to have avoided that was to make the assumption that Murray was going to hit the ground. Which of course you can’t do because you have guys running all over the place. Frankly the sliding rule down field in my opinion is freaking BS. Once they get past the line of scrimmage they Should be treated like running back’s. Obviously when they slide you can’t go in headfirst that’s a penalty. But I don’t have a problem with somebody landing on him. Because these guys make brobdingnagian plays running and it’s damn near impossible for a defender to actually know if the guy is going to slide or not. Most the time they do that but sometimes they don’t and then it’s a brobdingnagian play.  If it’s behind a line of scrimmage and just hits the deck that’s different. Murray did that a lot of times yesterday.

They have to give something to the defense in this game. Right now it’s ridiculous it’s like arena football. And frankly to me it really is nowhere near as enjoyable to watch
