Jimmy Garoppolo is having a Pro Bowl kind of season as the quarterback of the unbeaten 49ers.

But, entering the second half of the season, he still is a longshot to end the 49ers’ 16-year drought of quarterbacks being selected for the All-Star Game because of the competition from some of the other signal-callers in the conference.

There have been 24 seasons in which a 49ers quarterback has been selected to the Pro Bowl, but it has been a long time since the organization has lined up a signal-caller even worthy of being mentioned in the conversation.

Here is the list of 49ers quarterbacks named to the Pro Bowl (with number of Pro Bowls with 49ers and final year in Pro Bowl in parenthesis):

Frankie Albert (1, 1950)

Y.A. Tittle (4, 1959)

John Brodie (2, 1970)

Joe Montana (7, 1990)

Steve Young (7, 1998)

Jeff Garcia (3, 2002)

Garoppolo is on pace to have the best statistical season from a 49ers quarterback since Garcia made three consecutive Pro Bowls. The 49ers have mostly leaned on the run game while compiling an 8-0 record this season, as Garoppolo averaged 225.8 yards passing.

Garoppolo had his best game of his NFL career on Thursday in the 49ers’ 28-25 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, throwing for 317 yards and four touchdowns.

For the season, Garoppolo has completed 160 of 226 (70.8 percent) for 1,806 yards with 13 touchdowns, seven interceptions and a passer rating of 100.6.

But it will take dramatic happenings in the final eight weeks of the regular season for Garoppolo to earn a spot on the NFC Pro Bowl roster because of the seasons from some of the other quarterbacks in the conference:

Russell Wilson, Seattle: Wilson is having a spectacular season with 17 touchdown passes and just one interception. He also is averaging 265.9 yards passing per game with a 115.5 passer rating.

Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay: The perennial Pro Bowl quarterback likely will be heading there again, as long as the Packers do not make it to the Super Bowl. He is averaging 290.5 yards passing with 16 touchdowns and two interceptions.

Kirk Cousins, Minnesota: He is completing 72.1 percent of his pass attempts while averaging 9.3-yards per pass play. He has 13 touchdowns, three interceptions with a passer rating of 115.2.

Matthew Stafford, Detroit: He is having the best season of his career with 299.0 yards passing per game with 16 touchdowns and four interceptions.

Dak Prescott, Dallas: His touchdowns-to-interceptions margin is not great with 12 TD passes and seven picks, but he is averaging 303.3 yards passing (third best in the NFL) per game.



Matt Ryan, Atlanta: The Falcons are horrible, but Ryan is not. He has completed 70.9 percent of his passes with 15 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He is averaging 310.0 yards passing per game.

Drew Brees, New Orleans: Yes, he’s missed a good chunk of the season, but he still is Drew Brees. He’s completing 75.8 percent of his passes while averaging 8.6 yards per attempt.
