FOOTBALL NEWS:
Shanahan ‘thinks’ Garoppolo will be 49ers QB in 2021
Jimmy Garoppolo isn’t anticipated to take another breeze this season for the San Francisco 49ers as a set of high ankle sprains hindered the majority of his project.
Regardless of the lost season, the 49ers stay openly dedicated to Garoppolo as their quarterback for 2021, even difficult he has actually stayed healthy just as soon as in 3 seasons as starter.
“I do believe Jimmy’s going to be our quarterback next year,” coach Kyle Shanahan stated today.
Shanahan included that absolutely nothing in the NFL is entirely particular and the Niners will do what it requires to develop the very best lineup possible this offseason.
However he indicates the success San Francisco has actually had when Garoppolo has actually been healthy with a 22-8 record in those video games given that he showed up in 2017. That’s compared to the 7-26 mark with all other quarterbacks under Shanahan as a factor to stick to him.
“Look at Jimmy’s record when he’s been here. Jimmy, you can win with. He’s proven that,” Shanahan stated. “He’s proven he’s a starting quarterback in this league. We had a couple of other guys who got opportunities this year who played like they have a chance at times to be starting quarterbacks, but they did play like backups overall.”
The Niners obtained Garoppolo in a midseason trade from New England in 2017 and he won the last 5 video games that season after San Francisco began the year 1-10.
That made Garoppolo a $137.5 million, five-year agreement that offseason, however he then tore his ACL in the 3rd video game of 2018, adding to a 4-12 record with C.J. Beathard and Nick Mullens taking control of for the last 13 video games.
With a healthy Garoppolo and a dominant defense last season, San Francisco went 13-3 and remained in position to win the Super Bowl prior to Garoppolo and the defense failed in the 4th quarter of a 31-20 loss to Kansas City.
That resulted in high hopes this year, however Garoppolo injured his ankle in Week 2, returned for four more starts beginning in Week 5 before going down with another high ankle sprain that has ended his season.
“I think he would have taken steps forward and it would’ve been great for him to play this year,” Shanahan said. “After what he got playing the year before, being able to go through his first full season, I think regardless of how it started out, it would have been a good experience for him to only get better. The injuries he had kind of took the year from him. … It was unfortunate for Jimmy and for our team. I know it’s frustrating for him, but that’s why he’s got to go into this offseason and do everything he can in this offseason to get ready for Week 1 next year.”
The questions about Garoppolo’s status stem from the fact that while he has played efficiently at times, he isn’t at the level of the top quarterbacks in the league. With a nearly $27 million salary cap hit for next season, but only minimal dead money of $2.8 million if the Niners decide to move on, the possibility for change is there.
San Francisco could be in position to draft a rookie quarterback and look to save money at the position in an offseason when cap room will be tight. The Niners also could look to acquire a veteran on the trade or free agent market who could be more durable or perhaps more effective.
But Shanahan doesn’t expect many better options out there than a quarterback who threw 27 TD passes and posted a 102 passer rating in 2019, and says Garoppolo’s salary is in the middle of the pack for quarterbacks.
“That’s how much they cost,” Shanahan said. “Now, you look into every avenue and you see if there’s something out there that can get you a ton better it’s the same answer for every position. But look at Jimmy, look what he’s done, look at where he’s at with us financially and we better have a very good answer if you’re going to find something better than that, because Jimmy’s shown in one year that he’s a guy who can take us to the Super Bowl, and I also think Jimmy’s going to get a lot better the more he plays.”
NOTES: The 49ers signed long snapper Colin Holba to replace Taybor Pepper, who is on the COVID-19 list. … The team also activated TE Charlie Woerner from the COVID-19 list.
