Kyle Shanahan must have been bored yesterday, as he set fire to the 49-year-old Twitter account in San Francisco with comments about the future of Jimmy Garoppolo. Immediately everyone went to their respective corners to explain how what Kyle said justified his favorite quarterback path to this se fasen. Lost in Shuffle may be a key question that Niner Net and Leo Luna addressed with a special guest on this week’s Niner Net-Tian podcast. Wish Kumaran: Does Kyle Shanahan also know that this year’s upcoming quarterbacks have yet to pick the first round draft?
“Kyle Shanahan is focused on this football season and trying to win with CJ Beathard and Nick Mulens,” Kumar said.
Luna then added, “Shanahan has no idea until Zen Wilson and his assessment on her. He has spent zero time evaluating Zach Wilson. He has zero time to evaluate the tray trains … so there is no reason for him to say that he is now going to move on from Jimmy. “

That is a very reasonable point. Kyle Shanahan’s opinion is more important than any other in the whole organization except Jade York, and he has spent no time on Wilson, Lance, etc. in April to make sure he has one of them.
The clock is ticking because of the decision as to how Jimmy Garoppolo’s contract is structured, we have a long way to go before we know for sure who will be at the center in 2021.
