The Raiders benched Garoppolo because he simply wasn’t performing well in his first season with the team.

In six starts, Garoppolo posted a 3-3 record while completing 65.5 percent of his passes for 1,205 yards, seven touchdowns, and nine interceptions. He led the league in interceptions at the time, despite missing two games.
