Kyle Shanahan of the 49ers says nothing has changed his mind about Jimmy Garoppolo starting.

Nothing this preseason has convinced 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan that Jimmy Garoppolo is the team’s starting quarterback, as he stated after the team’s 15-10 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.
Shanahan, on the other hand, would not commit to Garoppolo as the starting in Week 1 over rookie Trey Lance.
“I’m not going to make that announcement.”
Shanahan, on the other hand, responded, “Good attempt.”
The No. 1 Lance
3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, came into camp as the veteran quarterback’s backup.
Shanahan stated that the quarterback situation is “very much the same” as it was at the beginning of camp.
Lance had 102 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in Sunday’s game.
In his only series, Garoppolo completed 3 of 6 passes for 15 yards and an interception.

Jimmy Garoppolo will start for the 49ers instead of Trey Lance.

The 49ers have made it obvious that they want Garoppolo ahead of Lance on the depth chart for the foreseeable future, similar to how Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy has stated Andy Dalton will start over rookie Justin Fields come September.
Lance may not start until his third NFL season, according to 49ers CEO Jed York, while general manager John Lynch stated in May that he wanted to keep Jimmy G as a starter and mentor throughout the process that led to the 49ers selecting Lance.
Lance gushed about working with Garoppolo earlier last month, and it appears that their friendship will continue until Shanahan says otherwise.
