Jimmy Garoppolo Not Given A Strong Starting Endorsement
3 years agoAsked if San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo would start in Week 8 against the Chicago Bears, head coach Kyle Shanahan said: "I would guess so. … We had two QBs hurting this week. Jimmy was able to come back and play. We'll see if Trey Lance can next week, we're still not sure yet, but I got a lot of things to figure out." Lance was out with an ankle injury suffered in Week 5, while Garoppolo left a lot to be desired in a rainstorm by going 16-for-27 for 181 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions and one fumble lost in the Sunday night loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The 29-year-old should be able to play better against the Bears in more ideal playing conditions, but there could be a bit of a QB controversy once Lance is fully healthy.
