This season is the perfect storm of factors for a Jimmy Garoppolo–led offense to finally break through for a Super Bowl title ConorOrr on what makes this year different:
With a little more than 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter against the Cardinals last week, Jimmy Garoppolo lined up under center with fullback Kyle Juszczyk and running back Christian McCaffrey directly behind him. Just before the snap, Juszczyk danced just slightly to his right, signifying the 49ers may run some kind of toss or stretch play to that side. Just after the snap, McCaffrey darted at the football like he was going to take the handoff and follow his fullback.
Put simply: During the best years of the Kyle Shanahan regime in San Francisco, it has always seemed like Garoppolo was ever so slightly holding the team back, enough so that Shanahan and the team brass sacrificed multiple first-round picks to select his presumed replacement, Trey Lance. We are left with no choice but to consider the 49ers legitimate Super Bowl contenders no matter who is taking snaps and throwing the football . Here is a look at why and how we arrived at this point.
Back in May, we declared that 2022 would be the year of the checkdown . The reasons were simple: More good quarterbacks coaches were preaching the advantages of short, easy completions, and more defenses were playing two-high shell defenses, which offer offenses vast amounts of real estate in the short and intermediate portions of the field right in front of the quarterback in exchange for placing a hard cap on the offense’s big-play ability.
The reasons are myriad. Practice time has been shaved to the bare minimum. Coaches are largely afraid to practice live tackling because they are so dependent on their starters and need to keep them healthy. Injury rates, aided by poor turf conditions, are on the rise, forcing more ill-prepared backups onto the field.
