San Francisco continues to give the impression that the team could hold onto Garoppolo in 2022, as unlikely as that seems.

"I think any scenario is possible," head coach Kyle Shanahan said regarding the topic on Tuesday.

"If he leaves, we'll always be grateful for what he brought here. And if he's a part of us, we'll forge ahead, knowing we've got a really good player."

Lynch

Probably going to keep him

273 more days!

Didn't Jimmy say he wanted to play for a contender? So I don't see why he would want to go to Seattle. Unless he is just petty and wants a chance to beat his former team. Or if nobody else wants him and Seattle is the only place where he will start.

Of course he's going to say that. What is he supposed to say.... "I'd like to play for a losing team so I can give them a little hope and then get paid big for it!"

Honestly, it might be better to keep Jimmy on the payroll and let him party in San Fernando for the year while Seattle throws out Geno Smith on the field and sucks, than to let Jimmy go to Seattle and be productive there.

No way will the 49ers keep $27 mil on the bench. Just release him already and stop f**king around with this s**t.

Under no circumstance is this a better option. It truly baffles me that there are people who actually believe this.

Why hang on to him this long? No trade is going to happen. Lynch says he wants to do right by Jimmy and "with guys like that, you don't just give it away" just yesterday.

273 more and counting.

talk about a rude awakening for the Garoppolo camp

I thought he had potential although I also thought there were enough question marks that he certainly may never be anything more than a decent backup.

I also don't know why anyone should take Chris Simms's word on quarterbacks remotely seriously. Guy's entitled or has a right to a job, including the job he has. But he was a disappointment in college and a wash out in the NFL. I'd listen to Kurt Warner or Steve Young's opinion on a quarterback. Jeff Garcia's as well. Heck, I could listen to his dad's as Phil Simms was pretty decent. Even Trent Dilfer, pretty much a bust, but runs a respected QB camp.

Chris Simms could never figure out how to play QB himself so it makes me snicker that he has criticism of Lance or Fields- even if every player has their imperfections.

He talks really fast so listeners gobble it up. Crazy, isn't it?

I don't understand this fear of Jimmy going to Seattle and being productive. Do you really think he's going to be as good as Wilson? They didn't make the playoffs with him last year and now the team has lost even more talent. They have a bad O line and their D was ranked near the bottom last year. They have one really good receiver and another one that's a deep threat but we know that's not Jimmy's strength. They also don't have as good a running game as the 49ers.

He's good enough to maybe win a couple more games but that does nothing for Seattle except lower their chances of getting the top QB in the draft. The 49ers have no reason to fear facing Jimmy. He's not evasive and he would be facing one of the top pass rushes in the league. He isn't a big difference maker like one of the top 10 QBs Fans often have this thing about former players giving info to other teams but that rarely happens. Teams already know everything they need to know with all the film that's out there. I can't recall one instance where a former player was able to give another team inside info that allowed them to beat the Niners. What could he possibly tell them?

You missed a lot of bad Jimmy press (or are just ignoring it altogether) if you have to ask why hang onto him this long.

It has been pointed out why here ad nauseum.
