Instead of draft capital or a supplemental piece for a playoff push, head coach Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers have something much better: An insurance policy they tried to get rid of but that could now pay off in a massive way.
“Never thought we’d lose our quarterback for the year in the first quarter of Week 2, so after all that’s happened, now I feel very lucky that the trade didn’t happen a while ago. All of it ended up working out, things happen for a reason and hopefully we’ll make the best of this going forward.” Now, suddenly, he’s back in the starting spot. Nothing new for the 30-year-old veteran, who has started 45 games for the 49ers and won 31 games in that span. He completed 13-of-21 passes for 154 yards and a touchdown in a 27-7 win over Seattle on Sunday and now makes his first start of the season in primetime.
Denver defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero knows Garroppolo well, having spent the past five seasons on the Los Angeles Rams’ defensive staff. In that span, the Rams and the 49ers faced off 11 times.
