50 7 because they aren't going even though they were the best
team in the NFL down the stretch. And
I
I I I split the baby when we did the pics. Last week, I went
Eagles win but 49ers cover and
that went out the window fairly early with the Brock /, D
injury. You, you had a good weekend. We never talked about
that you weren't feeling well on Monday. You didn't do your
Victory lap. How you pick Chiefs 2420,
you almost got the hole in one in the AFC Championship that's
Pretty damn good. Hey, thanks man. Thank you. Thank you very
much.
And you know, hey, I figured that game would be closed.
Nobody saw what was going to happen with the 49ers and
Eagles and like you said to start the show, I mean, just
unlucky, you know, thing to happen. And of course, I don't
know. An unlucky. Yeah, or business, as usual for what
the Eagles do,
you know they've been hitting quarterbacks and
and doing that all year long about as good as anybody we've
seen. So,
you know. But that was an unfortunate mistake error, you
know? An unfortunate incident that led to yeah. A downtrodden
game because of that and it was kind of over late in the second
quarter.
So Shanahan and Lynch meet the media. Yesterday as we said at
the very top of the show,
we pivot back to that now Brock Purdy injured Trail ants coming
off the broken. Ankle, one of the things that Shanahan said
yesterday and I think this is significant not that it's
a shock
but he sees no scenario, right? Where Jimmy Garoppolo is back
next year. And that's different from all of 2022 because even
when everything was pointing to Garoppolo being gone, Kyle
refused to completely Lee rule out a scenario where he would
be back and of course that's the one that hit the crazy
outcome of they couldn't find a trade partner and they realized
maybe we aren't 100% sold on trade, Lance. So Jimmy's going
to make more here than he's going to make anywhere else and
maybe he's going to get a chance to play and lo
and behold he did. That's not happening this year. He's gone,
he's done and it makes sense because look, Chris, he's going
to find at least a chance. Be a bridge quarterback
and or to compete somewhere else to be the starter. He
doesn't have that in San Francisco. He's number two, at
best maybe number three, and he will be paid accordingly.
That's not happening for Jimmy. Garoppolo in San Francisco. The
door is going to open for him somewhere else at a better
opportunity and in turn a better salary. Yeah. Agreed on
all their.
I mean, again, I don't think they wanted to keep him last
year, right? It was a little bit of a hostage situation as
far as you know keeping
Him trying to get value. I don't think they wanted to
muddy the waters would Trail Ends. But then you know as you
explained training camp when Lance was a little all over
the place through preseason and training camp. And,
you know, they couldn't find a trade partner and they realize,
hey, wait, he's a pretty good insurance policy. Yeah, they
have no contractual rights over him this year. So, that's
the first reason thing you think well, okay, yeah. They don't
have as much power in the situation
and then
at some point. Yeah it's just got to be about these two young
guys. Soon, you got to figure out who's going to be there.
There's enough complications as it is right now as far as who's
going to be the starter, Trey Lancer, Brock / D.
It's going to be a huge conversation
around one of the best teams in football.
And you know, and then you add on top of that,
you know, Garoppolo
we can't forget Garoppolo played really good this year
you know, before he got hurt we were going man. Garoppolo's
playing about as good as we've seen him ever play. So
I'm with you, there's going to be suitors for Jimmy Garoppolo
Up, he's played in big games and of course, you know, ran
that offense at a high level
and we know that he's got, you know, good pocket, awareness
decision, making quick release pretty accurate. So I would
think, oh, a team like the Houston Texans, I can see that
making sense. Maybe as a bridge quarterback, maybe add
something more substantial than that,
but that's one. I look at with Nick Kazarian D'Amico, Ryan be
in there. Ryan's being there to go.
Yeah. They I would think they'd have their
Hi on, Jimmy G a little bit.
Yeah,
he will have options and that does make sense, especially if
he's willing to consider being the guy until the first round,
rookie is ready, whenever that may be, and he's just the think
he's just kind of that's that for the past
couple of years now, you know, P. He may not be interested in
doing that again, but he may not have many other choices
because I don't think he is guy that someone says here.
Yes, it's yours agreed building around you.
You're our quarterback. That's not going to happen. So,
The next best thing is going to be to have a chance to prove,
himself somewhere else, maybe on a short-term deal, just
a one-year deal. I don't know, but I look at it this way, if
the ship doesn't come in for him, after what he did with
the 49ers in 2022, he is at the stage of his career, where it's
get, what you can, as long as you can
and understand, it's never going to be what it was when
you got that big contract in 2018 with the 49ers, where
you're handed the keys to the franchise for multiple years,
those days are over. It feels like for Jimmy.
