49ers shouldn’t, wouldn’t move on from Jimmy Garoppolo

As poor an argument it is, it makes sense why some pundits think San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo isn’t a long-term fit for the team after the Niners fell in heartbreaking fashion to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV.

Pro Football Talk was among the national sites suggesting the 49ers would consider moving on from their franchise quarterback, who signed a lucrative five-year, $137.5 million deal early in 2018, at the time making him the highest-paid quarterback in the league.

The argument was San Francisco, pressed for cap space entering 2020, could save a significant amount of money by moving on from Garoppolo — $22.
