49ers general manager John Lynch had some interesting comments on the team’s quarterback competition on the latest episode of the Adam Schefter podcast. Asked about incumbent starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, Lynch had some high praise, describing the Eastern Illinois product’s recent play in practice and training camp as the “best football” he’s played since joining the 49ers.
While Lynch complimented the Niners veteran quarterback, he only praised Garoppolo after asking about Jimmy G’s biggest competition, Trey Lance. In fact, Lynch said the third overall in this year’s NFL draft has “looked tremendous” in the early parts of training camp.
