Veteran quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was as good as gone with the San Francisco 49ers last season but ended up staying with the franchise and even ended up starting 10 games before going down with an injury. But according to the 49ers’ head coach Kyle Shanahan, a similar scenario won’t happen in the future.

Shanahan spoke with reporters earlier this week and was asked at one point whether Garoppolo might return to the team for the 2023 NFL season.

“No, I don’t see any scenario of that,” Shanahan responded.

San Francisco was ready to move on from Jimmy Garoppolo after the 2021 season, installing second-year signal caller Trey Lance as their starter. Garoppolo was kept away from the team and was placed on the trade block. But despite their best efforts, the 49ers found a hard time moving the veteran as he was recovering from shoulder surgery.

Eventually, the two sides agreed on a reworked contract that would keep Garoppolo with the organization for one more season. He would serve as Lance’s backup for a year before hitting free agency.

But just two weeks into the 2022 campaign, Garoppolo was the 49ers’ starter again. Lance suffered a season-ending ankle injury, which prompted the San Francisco to turn to the 31-year-old. Garoppolo would go on to lead the team to a 7-3 record, throwing for 2,437 yards, 16 touchdowns, and only four interceptions, before suffering a season-ending injury himself.

While Garoppolo turned out to be great insurance for the 49ers in 2022, the team probably believes that they already have one in rookie Brock Purdy. The “Mr. Irrelevant” took over after Garoppolo went down and had seven straight wins before a loss in the NFC Championship that included Purdy playing most of the game with torn UCL in his elbow.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was absent from his team’s training session on Monday following a long holiday weekend. This was the result of two injuries, namely a fracture as well as a torn ulnar collateral ligament of the right thumb.

Garoppolo incurred these injuries early on during his team’s 20-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Thursday. As a result, his availability for the 49ers’ next game against the Houston Texans on Sunday remains uncertain.

“We knew his thumb was hurting him,” coach Kyle Shanahan explained. “We thought he jammed it sometime in the game, so he tells us right when he comes to the bench.”

Shanahan revealed that Garoppolo’s injury was incurred during the 49ers’ first offensive play of the third quarter.

As a result of Garoppolo’s absence, rookie quarterback Trey Lance took over his responsibilities during Monday’s “bonus” practice. Shanahan explained that, during this session, Lance became acquainted with the regular starters in what he called a “walk-through”.

Currently, there is no guarantee as to whether or not Garoppolo will play against the Texans on Sunday. Shanahan explained that this will depend on how the starting quarterback feels as well as an assessment of how well he is able to throw a ball in training upon his return.

When Tom Brady announced he was leaving New England Patriots earlier this season, his hometown team San Francisco 49ers were reported as one of his preferred destinations. And while 49ers never officially made a move, clearing the way for Brady to join Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they did briefly consider it.

 49ers’ general manager John Lynch recently admitted on The Rich Eisen Show that he and head coach Kyle Shanahan discussed the possibility of making a move for Brady. According to Lynch,

“When you’re talking about one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time with Tom Brady, of course, you’re going to have some internal discussion,” said Lynch. “And then you hear rumors that hey, he’d like to come home, that kind of thing. So of course Kyle and I have discussions. We’re always into getting better, so you always look at everything, especially a situation like that.

Brady’s homecoming never got to be, as Lynch and Shanahan ended up deciding that already have a franchise quarterback in Jimmy Garoppolo.

“We love everything that he brings, and we really believe it’s a long-term answer,” he added. “I would tell you we’re more convinced than ever about who our quarterback is in Jimmy Garoppolo.”

San Francisco 49ers made the Super Bowl last season with Garoppolo, but many people thought that he was also the reason they didn’t win it. The 28-year-old signal-caller put on poor performance, especially late in the game, completing just three passes in the fourth quarter and throwing an interception.

Still, 49ers appear to have full confidence in Garoppolo as they just admitted they didn’t want to get the best quarterback that has ever played the game to replace him. We’ll see whether it will pay off.

San Francisco 49ers have officially taken care of their quarterback position. The team has signed Jimmy Garoppolo on a five-year deal, worth $137.5 million. Almost $90 million of that money is guaranteed in the first three years, which made Garoppolo the highest paid player in the NFL, although he only started seven games in the league.

Despite the small number of games he played, Jimmy Garoppolo has proved his value since coming to San Francisco from the New England Patriots. He took over the quarterback position at a team which had 1-10 record and won the final five games of the season.
After the 2017 NFL season ended, John Lynch said that the team has all intentions to make Garoppolo their franchise quarterback and that signing him in the off season will be the primary goal for the 49ers.

“We want Jimmy to be a Niner for a long, long time,” – said Lynch back in January. “That process is going to take place here. We’re eager to get that done, to have the opportunity. … You have our assurances, and the fans do, that we’d like nothing more than to make him a Niner for a long, long time.“

Jimmy Garoppolo was originally drafted into NFL by the Patriots in 2014, where he assumed the role of Tom Brady’s backup. He played as a relief for the first two seasons and got his chance to start in the opening game of the 2016 NFL season, following Tom Brady’s suspension. After the season ended, impressed by his showing many teams tried to acquire Garoppolo in the 2017 off season including Chicago Bears and Cleveland Browns, but they couldn’t strike a deal with the Patriots. Finally, Garoppolo was traded to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a 2018 second round draft pick.
