5. Jimmy Garoppolo

Whether or not you like Jimmy G really boils down to how much stock you put into quarterback wins. It is hard to argue Jimmy is simply a product of the San Francisco offense, however, when you consider how quarterbacks stepping in for Jimmy have played. If Atlanta can build a good roster they can win playoff games with Jimmy.

We watched Jimmy make a Super Bowl and play his team to the NFC Championship more than once. If Atlanta wants a veteran to build around and doesn’t believe they can land one of the top quarterbacks Garoppolo may be the best answer.

Despite his turnover issues Jimmy has consistently been a top twenty quarterback and is more than capable of leading Atlanta to the playoffs. Something Marcus Mariota likely can’t. While he may be the least popular option Garopplo may be one of the most realistic options for Atlanta next off-season.
