Jimmy Garoppolo’s latest quotes make the Rams look really, really good


Jimmy Garoppolo’s latest quotes make the Rams look really, really good

LA Rams veteran backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo may not be the most important or interesting part of Rams training camp, but he is *a* part of Rams training camp. And that means he gets a blog! Admittedly, it’s an easy feat when you’re doing things like talking to The Athletic ($) about how miserable his time with the Patriots, 49ers and Raiders was.

More importantly, it sounds like he’s finally found a nice, happy home. Josh McDaniels can’t touch him anymore. Garoppolo has had nothing but good things to say about his time with the Rams, and he certainly sounds like someone who is excited to be the backup quarterback for a good team in Southern California.

In this place you can also be yourself, which is different from other places I have been” he said. “Of course, everyone wants to win. Everyone wants to perform well. Here, they do it the right way. They push you positively. There’s just a lot of good things happening, man. I enjoy every second of it. Even the meetings are a good time…

Even the meetings are a good way to pass the time! I assume that means each Rams meeting lasts 15 minutes or less. We won’t see much of Jimmy G in the first two games of the year – he’s being suspended in the offseason for a failed drug test – and frankly, we probably won’t see much of him in the 15 games after that. If we do, something has gone very wrong and people are probably not paying much attention anyway (sorry, Jimmy. It’s nothing personal.)

Maybe this latest version of Jimmy G, basking in the warm glow of Sean McVay/LA’s sun, is the best yet. When you’re lucky enough to actively enjoy meetings, you know things are going pretty well. The Rams should print out this article from the Athletic and bring it to every free agent pitch for the next decade.
