Aaron Rodgers could enlighten the path for Jimmy Garoppolo as he is going through a similar situation as Rodgers did in 2020. Since Rodgers has been in a tumultuous situation regarding his place on the team before, he can certainly be of help to Jimmy G. The QB is looking for a trade after Trey Lance replaced him in 2021.

Garoppolo has had a roller coaster in his career. First, he was picked as a replacement for Tom Brady in the New England Patriots but couldn’t cement his place. Later went to the San Francisco 49ers and was replaced by the rookie QB, Trey Lance, in 2021. Tragedy, you name it!

However, call it luck or pure hard work, Rodgers turned heads in 2020 and clinched the NFL MVP award, leading to a trade turmoil. Not only this, he continued the streak into 2021 too.
