The SF 49ers could move on from Jimmy Garoppolo in 2021. If they don’t, the Niners would still be wise to find some quarterback competition.

Will Jimmy Garoppolo remain the starting quarterback for the SF 49ers in 2021 and beyond?

Maybe. It’s possible. Head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch have repeatedly said as much despite the fact Jimmy G has missed sizable chunks of time since signing his then-record-setting five-year, $137.5 million contract back in 2018.
