You’re correct. Just checked PFF.  Perhaps it was the playoff-only graphic they showed in his last game, or his attempts breakdown by zones 0-10, 10-20, 20+.

One of those indicators showed how the 49ers offense targets opposing defenses, and it’s rarely beyond 10 yards through the air.

Stats are a weird thing.  I watch a lot of NFL and you can’t tell me Jimmy Garrapolo is a guy who pushes the ball down the field.

For comparison, Josh Allen is way down that list, yet, frustratingly, struggles to check down.  Most his throws are intermediate range darts.  I suppose if you throw a ton of 5 yard slants and 6 deep balls per game, you’re YPA will be more than the guy who consistently throws 10-15 yards down the field with only 1 or 2 deep shots.

Basically, what I’m saying, is that Garrappalo isn’t a guy who’s very respected in NFL circles as anything more than a game manager right now.  It doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the ability, but so far, they haven’t let him try.
