The football gods are funny. Jimmy Garoppolo signs with the Las Vegas Raiders after his tenure with the 49ers, which included two NFC Championship game appearances and one Super Bowl appearance. Funny enough, the 49ers and Raiders scheduled joint practices ahead of their preseason matchup on Sunday. The joint practices have created a time of reflection on Garoppolo’s time as a 49er.
Kyle Shanahan was asked about Garoppolo in his press conference following the first practice session:
With Las Vegas Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo here, there’s been talk of when you were asked right after the season about if he was going to come back and a lot of people were saying you were quite dismissive and didn’t say anything about his legacy or what he’d done here.
