But we’ll get to see.

I think the big difference between Smith and Garoppolo is 3rd down.
He moves the sticks when we need it.
I believe Mahomes and the Chiefs were first in 3rd down conversions, but the 49ers were 5th.
That's what allows us to stick with the running game.
Jimmy G has the opposite problem of Smith. I didn't watch him much on the Chiefs, but with the 49ers, we called him Captain Checkdown.
Jimmy could stand to check down a little bit more LOL
