KS - "That's why we looked into trading Jimmy, because we obviously believe that Trey can be a starter and we're ready to do that," Shanahan said. "But if we can't upgrade our team in another way, we're not just going to get rid of a good quarterback because we have other quarterbacks on the roster. Quarterbacks are really hard to come by. Some teams don't have any at all, and the fact that we have three that we're happy with, that is a good thing.
"We brought Trey here to be that eventually, and I think that will be sooner than later, but when Jimmy gets his surgery and we can't upgrade our team by getting some good picks until people feel good about that [surgery], I'm all right with that. We're not just getting rid of him to get rid of him. Jimmy is a good player that we all really like as a person and as a teammate, and we're going to wait to see whatever helps the Niners the most."
Love to see it.
My favorite part is how both say we are not going to get rid of a good quarterback. Quarterbacks are really hard to come by. Some teams don't have any at all.
Coach, you just nailed it.
I have no issue with waiting. The injury and him not getting surgery messed up plan A. Both Kyle and Lynch admitted that.
Now you wait until he's healed up. If still no team bites, that's when you have no choice to release him. No point releasing him now and giving him a free 7 mil.
And there's definitely no point in telling teams that the plan is to release him like some idiots believe.
I could see this.
