Jimmy Garoppolo still is a resident of San Francisco, which is among the biggest surprises of the summer. Garoppolo was anticipated to be dealt with by this offseason, but no deal has transpired. This scenario adds to the complexity of the 49ers’ quarterback huddle. Even though the 49ers keep Jimmy G this offseason, the Trey Lance reign might commence now, according to Jeremy Fowler.

San Francisco had intended to trade Garoppolo this summer, but the QB’s shoulder injury put a damper upon the trade. Garoppolo has been the Niners’ QB1 for the past 4 1/2 seasons, guiding the team to a Super Bowl participation in the year 2020.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Lance has “got indications” from the 49ers organization that he’ll become the starting quarterback in 2022 irrespective of Jimmy Garoppolo’s position.

According to B/R Gridiron, Fowler mentions, “Meanwhile, Trey Lance has been working out in the Bay Area. I’m told that he’s got indications, at least informal indications from the team, that he’ll be the guy next year.”

“He’s set to be that. Now, whether that means that they would still keep Garoppolo and that could change the dynamic, possibly. But right now, Lance is going to be the starter.”

Lance is a high-risk alternative, but he can develop into one of the league’s finest dual-threat quarterbacks. He possesses most of the size and athleticism required to be a successful sprinter and thrower, and a year of studying under Garoppolo gave him the space he tried to improve on getting closer to the NFL tempo.
