Jimmy Garoppolo shines in Seattle

Steven Bisig-USA TODAY Sports

It’s been a long time since a 49ers signal caller looked as good as Garoppolo did in Seattle. While he didn’t throw a touchdown pass, he completed 18 of his 22 throws for 285 yards. He also converted on third downs, and made a couple big throws that put the 49ers in positions to score. Garoppolo also went turnover-free after giving away two fumbles and an interception in the 49ers’ first showdown with Seattle back in Week 10. San Francisco needed their quarterback’s best Sunday night, and they got it. His outings in Seattle and New Orleans are a very positive sign that the moment won’t ever be too big for the 49ers’ franchise quarterback.
