Why the Texans trading for 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo never made sense in the Nick Caserio era

The Houston Texans traded their former 2017 first-round quarterback to the Cleveland Browns. The club went 4-13 in 2021 without the signal caller taking a single snap despite getting paid to remain on the 53-man roster. Therefore, Houston’s problem is at quarterback.

The San Francisco 49ers have an albatross around their necks in Jimmy Garoppolo. Despite leading the Niners to a Super Bowl berth at the end of the 2019 campaign, the former New England Patriots backup to Tom Brady just can’t seem to create the perception of being quality in the clutch.

Maybe a change of scenery would help Garoppolo, but if the scenery involves NRG Park, then the former Eastern Illinois product needs to move along.
