Nothing against Jimmy, but I'd rather see Trey Lance today. Even if we can win with either, the risk of Jimmy re injuring that thumb or making it worse is real. Then we would be looking at Lance in the playoffs anyway. If that's where we end up, the team would be better off if Lance plays today and gets that many more snaps in a high pressure game scenario. Suit Jimmy up as backup, just in case, but give Trey Lance the opportunity.
It's the last game,...you use everything @ your disposal if you want in. Reinjuring or worsening doesn't matter. With surgical repair I believe it's a couple months recovery,...not like an ACL or anything.
There's literally nothing to "save" for beyond today until a NO loss or a 49ers win is in hand.
