49ers Insider Discusses Jimmy Garoppolo’s Impending Question
The San Francisco 49ers have a quarterback situation on their hands.
It’s not that two players are competing for the starting role.
In fact, the franchise has handed the keys to the program to Trey Lance.
He will be the team’s starter for the 2022 season after seeing spot minutes in his rookie year.
However, the issue stems from Jimmy Garoppolo still being with the team.
The 49ers have been trying to look for a trade partner for him but to no avail.
The timing of his shoulder surgery might have hurt his chances of getting traded.
Garoppolo initially thought that no surgery was needed to heal his injury.
Instead, the delay in getting treatment turned off the teams that showed interest.
Therefore, there’s a chance that Lance will start with Garoppolo as the backup.
NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco wrote that Lance will be comfortable in leading the Niners even if Garoppolo is on the sidelines.
