Why can’t the 49ers move off Jimmy G?

Well, here we are, more than a month after that presumed farewell press conference — and Jimmy G is still on the 49ers roster. Meanwhile, there has been a flurry of quarterback moves around the NFL, more than I can ever remember happening in any offseason, and yet Garoppolo is still here.

What happened? There can only be one answer: the 49ers completely overvalued what Garoppolo was worth and now they’re stuck without a chair following the musical chairs of changing quarterbacks around the league.

Meanwhile, the team that no longer provides leaks to the media, have been leaking rumors for the past month, the last being that the 49ers had an offer of two second-round picks for Garoppolo, who muddied the waters even more with a surprising shoulder surgery at the beginning of the month.

That certainly set off general manager alarms around the NFL. Who is going to give up high-round draft picks for a quarterback who won’t throw until the summer, at the earliest, who already had a reputation of not having the strongest arm?

No one believes that the team was offered two second-round picks. If it is true and they didn’t make the move? That’s blowing it.

More and more, it looks like the 49ers are comfortable going into training camp with Garoppolo on the roster and don’t be surprised to him starting for the 49ers up until the trade deadline.

But is there a scarier reason for not making a move? Is it all possible the 49ers are having second thoughts about Lance’s abilities? It’s not unusual for a team to draft a player to become a starter a few years down the road. Aaron Rodgers sat behind Brett Favre for three seasons before taking over.

But most teams no longer wait until a prized rookie is “ready.” Especially if you traded away the farm to get that player.

There is still time to make a move. The team restructured the contracts of some players so they would not have to cut the quarterback ahead of the start of the 2022 season. But maybe that was the problem: not enough urgency to get something done.
