Everyone is trying to figure out which quarterback will be selected by the San Francisco 49ers with the No. 3 overall pick. Will it be Justin Fields, Trey Lance or the less popular Mac Jones option? Whatever the decision, it means that the end of Jimmy Garoppolo’s time with the Niners is approaching. The veteran quarterback is expected to stay with the team this season as head coach Kyle Shanahan and quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello put up the incoming rookie.
Former NFL defender Marcellus Wiley said this week that he considers it a mistake to replace Garoppolo. He believes the quarterback is becoming a scapegoat for San Francisco’s disappointing six-win campaign in 2020. Speak for yourself the host made a dispute, declaring that the wrong person is to blame for the team not meeting expectations.
Wiley calls on the drafting of a quarterback to replace Garoppolo, a “step back” for the organization.
“Jimmy G, who made Kyle Shanahan as head coach, will now become the scapegoat, but who is Kyle Shanahan?” Wiley told her co-host, Emmanuel Acho. “Who is Kyle Shanahan without that last name? Who is Kyle Shanahan without Jimmy G?”
Wiley sets Garoppolo’s 22-8 regular season record as a starter under Shanahan.
“In general, you’re just a losing head coach,” the host continued. “Even with Jimmy G trying to help you, Coach Shanahan, you’re still not good enough. Want to know why? Because Shanahan, in his first two years, won 10 games in total, absolute, combined. And then Jimmy G arrives in this second year, has between 1 and 10 … flying from Foxborough is Jimmy GQ to save the day and potentially save his job.Certainly his reputation, Mr. Kyle Shanahan.
“Then all of a sudden, in this third year, first year as a full-time incumbent once Jimmy GQ is in the building, guess what they do. They go to the Super Bowl with Jimmy GQ.”
While he has proven to be a winner when he’s on the field, one of the biggest concerns surrounding Garoppolo has been his availability. The quarterback has lost 23 games in the last three seasons, including 10 games lost in 2020 due to ankle injuries.
While the host acknowledges the historic number of injuries that affected the roster last season, Shanahan is shifting the blame to his quarterback.
“Kyle Shanahan, stop trying to earn some time by drafting another quarterback that you need to prepare for when you just switch to a quarterback that would take you to a Super Bowl,” Wiley added. “So for me, this is a big displaced aggression, that is,‘ I’m angry with the wrong things. ’Or it’s a situation that’s just a classic deviation.” Oh, I have problems. People really don’t want to look at my overall record as a losing coach, the fact that I’m really not that good without Jimmy G. ’”

The San Francisco 49ers surprised the NFL world by kicking off a massive trade that went from No. 12 overall rankings to No. 3 in next month’s NFL draft. It is clear that the team is aimed at a quarterback to replace – at some point – the current starter Jimmy Garoppolo. It remains a mystery who it could be.

Garoppolo could be very good with the 49ers over the next season. This is the impression given by head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch as they spoke to reporters on Monday. The two tried to keep Garoppolo aware of the situation that led to the modification of the franchise and the project.

Steve Wyche of the NFL Network spoke virtually to San Francisco 49ers team reporter Keiana Martin to talk about the box office trade that fell Friday morning.

Who does Wyche think the 49ers are aiming for in their best draft position? “People I’ve talked to think it’s Trey Lance or Justin Fields,” Wyche told Martin. “They think those mobile quarterbacks with big arms would fit perfectly in what Kyle (Shanahan) likes to do, and they also think Zach Wilson won’t be there at three.” We know that Trey Lance
