The 49ers need to move on from QB Jimmy Garoppolo and GrindingTheTape says they need to do it immediately. FrontOffice33 | 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers enjoyed a pretty stellar late-season run in 2022, all in the aftermath of choosing to go all-in on a quarterback in the previous spring’s NFL Draft. Wide receiver hybrid Deebo Samuel was transcendent in 2022. Defensive end Nick Bosa was back to being a top pass rusher in the NFL. Linebacker Fred Warner was tremendous. Tight end George Kittle was, well, George Kittle again.
This is, of course, not new information — not even to the 49ers. They went out swinging and going all in on Lance for a reason. The glass ceiling that exists over Garoppolo has been there since San Francisco first became competitive. The 49ers are dead last in the NFL in salary cap space, their top-51 contracts offering them less than $1 million in cap room.
Having salary cap space will allow the team to retain top talent and sign quality starters in free agency. San Francisco lost defensive tackle DJ Jones and guard Laken Tomlinson in free agency this offseason. Safety Jaquiski Tartt remains unsigned, as well. Some attrition isn’t the end of the world — and the 49ers did well in the previous year’s NFL Draft to brace for Tomlinson’s departure by drafting Aaron Banks, while the team retained Daniel Brunskill this offseason.
And then there’s the proverbial clock ticking with Lance. Garoppolo’s play wasn’t without a handful of boneheaded decisions in every significant game the 49ers played down the stretch, as evidenced above. Lance would not be immune to growing pains, but at least those come with the potential reward of improvement and growth.
