It’s time for the San Francisco 49ers to think about moving on from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Kyle Shanahan is one of the best offensive minds in the game — that's widely accepted — and the miracles he has worked despite his quarterback situations over the years speak for themselves. Throughout his coaching career, Shanahan has had a top-end quarterback effectively once, and he produced an MVP-caliber season from Matt Ryan off the back of it.
Garoppolo may be the next best passer Shanahan has coached, but the limitations of the man who was supposed to be the answer in San Francisco are becoming obvious, not least of which is his injury history.
