Jimmy Garoppolo has Super Bowl rings, but do they count?

Jimmy Garoppolo has two, he probably doesn’t count them as rings he earned. Garoppolo won rings in the 2014 and 2016 seasons with the New England Patriots, though he never took a snap in either Super Bowl game. The only game in which he took a postseason snap was in a blowout victory over Indianapolis in the AFC Championship Game in January 2015. Does the experience of standing on the sideline, watching Tom Brady win playoff games and Super Bowls translate into on-field success?
