Steve Mariucci Would not Bench Purdy For Garoppolo In Playoffs, ‘Keep With Scorching Hand’
TMZSports.com
Jimmy Garoppolo doubtless would not get his job again within the playoffs if Steve Mariucci was in control of the Niners … the ex-head coach tells TMZ Sports activities he’d stick with Brock Purdy within the postseason in an effort to “journey the new hand.”
Garoppolo broke his foot again on Dec. 4 — however with a restoration timetable of 7-8 weeks … there’s an opportunity he may very well be prepared in time for the NFC Championship Sport, and even the Tremendous Bowl.
Mooch, although, stated out at LAX final week that if SF will get that far — and Purdy continues to be taking part in properly — he’d hold Jimmy G on the bench.
.@49ers @brockpurdy13 to @gkittle46 for a TD. The “protected throw” is usually the most suitable choice…however for Purdy why play protected should you can rip the jugular vein vast open and make the opponent bleeeeed. #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/YKozR6mPYj

“If Brock Purdy retains taking part in like he is taking part in proper now — which is unbelievable — I do not know that you simply change that,” stated Mariucci, who was the Niners’ head coach from 1997-2002.
“If he is bought the new hand getting in, I might in all probability be extra inclined simply to stick with the new hand.”
Purdy has been dominant in his 2-plus video games as Garoppolo’s fill-in, logging 612 passing yards, 6 passing TDs and a single INT since taking on for Jimmy G.
Mariucci clearly believes it hasn’t been a fluke run … telling us the Niners are one of many two groups that he thinks might signify the NFC on this 12 months’s Tremendous Bowl — even with Purdy underneath middle.
