While the 49ers want to transition from Jimmy Garoppolo to Trey Lance eventually, FanSided’s Matt Verderame predicts Jimmy G won’t lose his job this season.
It’s looking more and more like 2021 will be veteran quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo‘s “swan song” for the San Francisco 49ers.
The proverbial “elephant in the room,” of course, is the Niners’ NFL Draft selection of rookie quarterback Trey Lance at No. 3 overall. And one can be absolutely certain head coach Kyle Shanahan will make the transition from Garoppolo to Lance as soon as he feels Lance gives the Niners as good a shot at winning games as Jimmy G.
