It didn’t take long for San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan to provide all the clarity anybody could want regarding his quarterback situation — specifically, whether Jimmy Garoppolo or Trey Lance would be the starter in 2022 and beyond.
Shanahan started his team’s training camp off with a bang when he spoke with the media on Tuesday. He and general manager John Lynch sat down with Garoppolo to outline the plan, which is now all about the second-year man from North Dakota State.
“It was great to talk to him today. It’s always easier when you talk to the person, he got to talk to both of us, so just the three of us caught up on a lot of stuff. And I think all three of us are very much on the same page. Jimmy understands where we’re at. We understand where we’re at. I can’t tell you how appreciative I have been of Jimmy and him being here. And I’m so appreciative of what he did for us last year. I think Jimmy knew and we knew what move we made the year before on that. Jimmy did a hell of a job coming to camp and winning that job and taking us real close to the Super Bowl, but we have moved on to Trey.
