How would it create a toxic locker room? Lance and Garoppolo have both shown themselves to be professionals and worked well together last year. Jimmy G doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to start pouting if Lance is declared the starter. He'll put the work in and be ready to step in if needed due to injury.
It's only the toxic fan base (and some sections of the media) that will create any problem.
Very simple they don't know who their QB is. If the starter makes a mistake they will be calling for the other.
The players will know exactly who their QB is. There won't be a split locker room. Everyone in that locker room trusts Shanahan and will roll with Lance when Shanahan taps him on the shoulder to start. They all know Lance can ball. They saw that all last season every week.
