The bar wasn’t very high, but Jimmy Garoppolo on Sunday in Carolina played his best game of the season. He told reporters after struggling in his first start back in Week 3 that he’d need time to get into a rhythm. He appeared to have found that rhythm in Week 5, and it came with a surprise improvement in a key area for the 49ers’ signal caller.
Garoppolo had a good game against the Panthers. He completed 18-of-30 throws for 253 yards and two touchdowns. He also didn’t turn the ball over. That stat line is good, but not something entirely out of the ordinary for him. The area that jumps out is what he did under pressure.
