The 2019 season has co to a close, with the fifty-fourth Super Bowl about to kick off.
The Kansas City Chiefs are a mature team, stable, strong, and excellent, despite facing nurous difficulties and challenges such as the physical test and injury issues after a long season, the ntal pressure of a perfect season and standing before historical records, and various curses; but the team’s overall structure is already solid, with a higher bottom line, and a resilient and tough spirit, absolutely a tough nut to crack.
In other words, expecting the Kansas City Chiefs to collapse on the Super Bowl stage is unrealistic.
Just like the Super Bowl showdowns of the 2007 and 2011 seasons, the New England Patriots played excellently, but the suspense of victory was still in the hands of the New York Giants. If they brought an all-or-nothing attitude, they could turn the tide; otherwise, the New England Patriots were undoubtedly the favorites.
It is the sa now.
The suspense and final outco of the Super Bowl depend on the performance of the challenger, the San Francisco 49ers, and even the excitent of the ga depends on it, otherwise, the ga might completely fall apart.
Just like last year’s Super Bowl, the Los Angeles Rams underperford, failing to create suspense or form a confrontation, quickly losing the match.
This year, the San Francisco 49ers are in a similar position, especially Garoppolo.
From Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Foles to Los Angeles Rams quarterback Goff, the quarterback’s performance determined the excitent of the Super Bowls in the past two years; while the Kansas City Chiefs remained persistent, fighting to the end, whether facing the Philadelphia Eagles’ last-minute kill or resolving the ga against the Los Angeles Rams, this team indeed grew and transford steadily every year, and now the pressure is on Garoppolo.
Since the end of the National Conference finals, criticism and accusations have been unceasingly directed at Garoppolo, even escalating, continuously occupying the top of hot search lists—
Eight attempts throughout the ga, which seems unimaginable no matter how you look at it, even in a 1019 football ga.
"Why not replace the starting quarterback, anyway Shanahan doesn’t trust Garoppolo."
"Is Garoppolo going to take it easy on the field again? Please don’t, otherwise I might as well just go to sleep."
"Bold prediction: On the Super Bowl stage, Garoppolo will attempt eighty passes, leaving the running backs with no room and silencing all critics collectively."
Buzzing, bustling, with all sorts of sarcastic remarks and s, constantly filling the view.
Remarkably, the spotlight was not on Li Wei, but completely focused on Garoppolo.
Then, Garoppolo had no choice but to respond—
Even before the Super Bowl dia day, accepting interviews at the San Francisco 49ers’ training base, he directly addressed the questions.
"No, I’m not worried."
Garoppolo stated thus, showing the deanor of a leader, acknowledging that he was aware of the backlash he would face for his offensive performance with only eight passing attempts during the National Conference finals.
"That’s what I learned from Richard Sherman, that I shouldn’t let those voices distract , but should turn them into motivation."
In his ti with the Seattle Seahawks, Sherman was nicknad "Big Mouth," loving to speak passionately both on and off the field, constantly in the storm center because of his sharp personality, even leading visual Sherman’s idol "King of Trash-Talking" Ramsey to say he didn’t want to be like Sherman, making exaggerated statents on the field.
Sherman has always been in the eye of the storm, now having cald down after the peak of his career, with obvious restraint as he enters the latter part of his professional journey.
This ti, it seems Sherman gave Garoppolo quite so help.
"I heard all the comnts, but you can’t refute them one by one. You have to do what you want to do and accept things as they are, because no matter what others say, you still have to face the ga yourself."
"I’m ready."
"Ready to face the best team in the league right now, ready to challenge the two-ti defending champions, I know what kind of team I’m facing, a giant, a colossal opponent; and at the sa ti, I know my goal, we’re not here to compete for the runner-up."
Calm, natural, yet not hiding his edge.
After a season of polish, Garoppolo is indeed growing.
Then a reporter asked, "Did your agent Donald Yee teach you these words?"
Garoppolo: ...
Completely caught off guard, after circling around, so words were inevitably ntioned, and the "Triangle of Destiny" centered around Donald was once again brought up, regardless of Garoppolo’s performance good or bad, the dia always find a way to draw him into the topic storm of Brady or Li Wei.
This is fate.
Garoppolo felt a block in his chest, not knowing how to respond, ended up chuckling in frustration—
Even with such a perfect performance, the reporter still found a loophole?
Fortunately, the entire San Francisco 49ers team stood behind Garoppolo, expressing support in action, jointly fighting against the "evil" dia.
From head coach Shanahan to tight end Kittel to defensive tackle Nick Bosa, top to bottom all pointed out that the team’s focus on the ground ga had nothing to do with Garoppolo’s ability, it was purely a strategic decision, they believed this approach could win gas, so they did it.
Offensive tackle Joe Staley not only protected Garoppolo’s blindside on the field but also continued to have his back off the field.
"Garoppolo taking all this criticism is just crazy."
"We won the ga, we just did what we needed to do to win, which is what professional sports are all about, right? If Garoppolo had thrown for 400 yards and we lost the ga, he would feel just as bad. So it’s no big deal."
Lamar Jackson: You may as well just na ?
Shanahan also intercepted the dia’s attacks, "In fact, recovering from his ACL tear last season, Garoppolo completed an excellent season, which is why he has the qualification to compete for Coback Player of the Year."
In this, the head coach was correct, he was not just making a casual remark—
In Garoppolo’s 2019 season, he threw for 3978 yards, the fourth highest in San Francisco 49ers history; his pass completion rate was as high as 69.1%, ranking fifth in the league this season; he had three gas where he threw for 300 yards, four touchdowns, and a pass completion rate over 70%, the most in the league this season.
Most importantly, he is the only quarterback in the league with all of pass completion rate, passing yards, and touchdown passes in the top five for the season.
No wonder there was a brief clamor for "Garoppolo regular season MVP" before the regular season ended, although it didn’t last long.
Shanahan said, "If needed, he’s always ready to contribute to the team and lead us to victory. We know the price needed to beat the Kansas City Chiefs, and undoubtedly, Garoppolo is an indispensable piece, with the burden of victory on his shoulders."
So, is Garoppolo the Little Manning of the 2019 season?
