49ers GM John Lynch has an explanation for liking anti-Jimmy Garoppolo tweet

After the game, Lynch liked a tweet calling for the team to "Leave Jimmy in Nashville."

"Apparently – while in Christmas Eve Mass w my Family – I accidentally and unknowingly Liked a Tweet," Lynch wrote on Twitter on Christmas Eve. "Never intended to and remain a huge believer in Jimmy. Merry Christmas to everyone."

Oops.

The 49ers drafted their quarterback of the future (or possibly the present) in Trey Lance, and some fans are calling for a switch or at least more involvement. Lynch's Twitter boo boo gave Lance-now-lovers a glimmer of hope, especially after the loss to Tennessee dropped SF to 8-7, threatening its chances at a playoff berth.
