Gotta let him play and if he gets hurt, he gets hurt. After all, Lance could play in pre-season and get hurt as well. Do we sit Lance because he may get hurt and be forced to keep Garoppolo?
What do you think happened to his shoulder? It was a small tear in his capsule...it wasn't some Drew Brees dislocated right shoulder with a 360-degree tear of his labrum and a 50-percent tear of his rotator cuff.
Jimmy's shoulder is gonna be just fine. Multiple shoulder surgeons have stated it.
He's a 8 yr vet and doesn't have to play in the pre-season to prove anything...it's not like he's gonna come out of the surgery like rookie of the year and be able to throw like Mahomes either lol.
If he get's hurt you've tied more cash into Jimmy for no good reason.
You're last sentence doesn't hold water in the debate. SF isn't trying to get rid of Lance and Lance's deal is GTD. Jimmy's is not.
