“He just vanished” Jimmy Garoppolo is nowhere to be seen in the 49ers preseason
Jimmy Garoppolo
Jimmy Garoppolo is currently the 49er’s No.1 QB but soon that can change as Garoppolo was nowhere to be seen in the preseason training and matches.
Garoppolo is linked with a transfer with the browns due to Deshaun Watson’s suspension but this behaviour can have severe consequences on his future in the team.
Jimmy Garoppolo was unreachable for most of the preseason every year with the 49ers except one. “When the press conference ended, Garoppolo shook hands, flashed his multi-million-dollar smile and disappeared into the offseason ether. That important work, to his coaches’ chagrin, would have to wait.“
“Once he left that press conference nobody heard from him for weeks and weeks,’ recalled one member of that coaching staff. ‘He didn’t return calls, he didn’t return texts — he basically just vanished. And we were looking at each other going, ‘What just happened?”
Discipline is one of the most important aspects of Football and if you’re not showing dedication then it indicates that you’re not serious about it. Garoppolo skipping the offseason may be one of the reasons that the 49ers signed young QB Trey Lance.

Trey Lance has had a great start to the season where he impressed everyone with his ability in the first preseason against the Packers. The 49ers comfortably defeated the Packers with a score of 28-21 and this was achieved without Garoppolo.
These subtle things indicate that maybe it’s time for the 49ers to move on and put their focus on the young QB, Trey Lance. Though he’s not as good as Jimmy Garoppolo, what he lacks in ability he makes up for it through sheer discipline and hard work.
The 49ers coach Kyler Shanahan and John Lynch have both referred to Lance being ‘made of the right stuff and with rumours of a transfer surrounding Garoppolo, it’s safe to say that the 49ers have that position covered.
