"The biggest issue with Garoppolo wasn't showing up to the NFL overaged, but his athletic upside. An FCS quarterback, he measured in at the combine in the 19th percentile of quarterbacks in terms of height at 6'2", according to Mock Draftable, and he didn't flash in any explosion drill. At Eastern Illinois, he was labeled as a "system quarterback."
"To truly get a feel on how Garoppolo may transition to starting in the NFL, we need to take a look at all of his regular-season dropback attempts since he entered the league. As they say, the eye in the sky doesn't lie."
"Including the passes which were called back for offensive holding, Garoppolo has thrown 33 balls in his two years as a professional. A shocking amount of them, 22, have come within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage. Seven of them were either screens or bubble passes thrown to the perimeter behind the line of scrimmage. In many ways, he's still functioning as a "system quarterback," even in garbage time as a professional. "
"He has quick-strike ability to make passes underneath, but he rarely tests deep, and he's not very successful when he does. Over 10 air yards, he needs the assist of the defense buying into action in the backfield or his teammates overcoming one-on-one matchups to get a quality ball off, even if at times those players aren't winning certain matchups within the rules of the sport."
