The Bucs had the #1 Defense in the NFL that year and had Trent Dilfer as their QB, kind of a similar game manager QB as Garoppolo.  

We all know your love for Trey and disdain for Jimmy, but please. A game manager like Dilfer? 

Garoppolo's career rating is 99.6. Dilfer's 70.2. 
Completion percentage, Garoppolo 67.6%; Dilfer 55.5%. 
In the season you reference, Dilfer: 59.8%, 11 TDs, 11 Ints, 75.8 rating. This season for Jimmy? 67.2%, 16 TDs, 4 Ints, 103.0 rating. 
Dilfer was ranked 20th in rating, and 22 in yards per attempt. Jimmy is ranked 6th in rating, and 6th in yards per attempt.

Garoppolo is a hell of a lot more than a game manager, no matter how many times you claim that's all he is.

JG is primarily a game manager. But I don’t see that as a knock.  Plus, he was playing, by my eyes, the best football of his life.

There is going to be a big drop off.  How big is anyones guess.  What I do know is i’ve seen before a second team unknown QB come off the bench cold come in and play well.  And that turned out to be his highlight. I’m hoping that’s not the case here. But it wouldn’t surprise me. Which is why I’d see about Fitzpatrick/Newton’s interest. And If they are interested, I pad have them come in for a workout immediately.

Sunday is going to be very interesting. Purdy on one side Brady on the other. Little bit of a difference there. Fortunately 49ers have a much better team. I hope they spend the day partying in the backfield. Seeing Brady on the ground about 10 times would be very nice.

A la Dilfer? Come on, Lex. How can you be sixth in yards per attempt and be a game manager? It's not all YAC, either.
