Now that we’re officially looking forward to the NFL season 2021-22 and the crazy corona season is behind us, it’s time for a ridiculous season. While the mockery that highlights early teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars, NY Jets and Cincinnati Bengals is nice, we’d rather look at teams that are just a player or two away from the Super Bowl. We’re looking at the San Francisco 49ers here.
Do not forget that the 49ers lifted just a quarter of the Lombardi trophy, just a year ago, even if it was not for a heroic return from the fourth quarter, thanks to Patrick Mahomes. 2020 was not a good year for the 49ers on the injury front.
The 49ers were without Jimmy Garoppolo, main defender Nick Bosa, stud George Kittle and a host of other important contributors for much of the season. Although they probably suffered the most injuries in the league, the 49ers still managed to stay competitive in most games thanks to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Look at the team needs for 49ers
With numerous key players returning for the start of the 2021/22 season, the 49ers will be back in the hunt for the NFC West crown. There was a bit of smoke that the 49ers were interested in a new quarterback, whether it was a veteran or a rookie, but head coach Kyle Shanahan has said several times now that they are going to roll with Jimmy Garoppolo.
Although it can only be a coach, we have no reason to believe that Jimmy Garoppolo will not be the quarterback of the 49ers, because Shanahan’s comment: ‘You look at every lane and you see if there is something you can deliver a ton. better. Shanahan further says:
‘It’s the same answer for every job, but look at Jimmy, look at what he’s done, look at where he’s financially. We have a very good answer if you are going to find something better than that, because Jimmy has shown in one year that he is the man who can take us to the Super Bowl, and I also think Jimmy is going to get a lot better. the more he plays. ”
Let’s see how the 49ers can reload this concept to make another turn in the Super Bowl.
