The 49ers quarterback room has generated plenty of discussions all season long, and even as they gear up for the NFC Championship Game this Sunday against the Rams, some prominent pundits are debating whether rookie quarterback Trey Lance would give the Niners a better chance to win than starter Jimmy Garoppolo. On Tuesday, former NFL cornerback and current ESPN analyst Domonique Foxworth strongly endorsed Lance on ESPN’s Get Up!.
Foxworth acknowledged that the 49ers' postseason victories with Garoppolo under center would make a change difficult, saying, “I know it’s crazy. I wouldn’t have the heart to do it if I was [49ers head coach] Kyle Shanahan,” but made the case for Lance.
