You can understand the 49ers holding out for a trade scenario for Garoppolo, but one never developed, not even with injuries and some upheaval around the NFL.
I doubt this was a part of Jimmy Garoppolo’s grand plan. Come to think of it, I doubt Garoppolo had a grand plan that extended much beyond being the 49ers’ starting quarterback into the distant future. That didn’t work out, and, you know, football.
And that’s about it, actually. There aren’t many other overt risks out there, and one of the big three – the injury possibility to Lance – had already been pondered ad nauseam. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan knew that there was value in having a reliable backup plan, but not a $24 million value. That was their decision, their math. That’s a perfectly reasonable conclusion.
But the Niners held on. For what? I don’t know. If it was to assure that most of the preseason went by without Garoppolo joining a rival , that is some minor-league thinking. But only Lynch and Shanahan can say for sure. Perhaps the most cogent argument against Garoppolo, if that’s even the right way to put it, is that he got hurt way too often for the money he was being paid. That is not remotely close to saying he was a stiff or a bust; it’s a lot closer to saying that he played in the NFL, and durability is one elusive and magical creature. Still, teams pony up insane guaranteed money to QBs all the time. They simply take the injury risk.
