San Francisco 49ers took to social media to criticise Jimmy Garoppolo as the quarterback was seen laughing while the team were crushed by the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game.
San Francisco rookie sensation Brock Purdy suffered an elbow injury and was taken out of the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles, only for his replacement Johnson to suffer a concussion and be ruled out of the remainder of the game. The Eagles have taken advantage of the 49ers' plight to lead 28-7 heading into the fourth quarter.
Purdy - who became the first rookie quarterback to win on his playoff debut since Russell Wilson in 2012 - is the reigning ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ after he was selected with the 262nd and final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. His path has been remarkable, transitioning from third-string quarterback to starter as the replacement when sophomore Trey Lance and veteran Jimmy Garoppolo went down with injuries.
