Everyone is eagerly trying to figure out which quarterback will be selected by the San Francisco 49ers with the No. 3 pick. Will it be Justin Fields, Trey Lance, or the less popular choice of Mac Jones? Whatever the decision, it means the end of Jimmy Garoppolo’s time with the Niners is approaching. The veteran full-back is expected to stay with the team this season, as head coach Kyle Shanahan and full-back coach Rich Scangarello are getting the incoming newcomer on track.
Marcellus Wiley, a former NFL defensive end, made it clear this week that he feels it is a mistake to replace Garoppolo. He believes the quarterback is being made a scapegoat for San Francisco’s disappointing six-win campaign in 2020 Speak for yourself host made an outburst and declared that the wrong person was to blame because the team did not live up to expectations.
Wiley calls for the drafting of a quarterback to replace Garoppolo, a ‘setback’ for the organization.
“Jimmy G, who made Kyle Shanahan as head coach, is now made the scapegoat, but who is Kyle Shanahan?” Wiley told his co-host, Emmanuel Acho. ‘Who is Kyle Shanahan without that surname? Who is Kyle Shanahan without Jimmy G? ‘
Wiley points to Garoppolo’s regular season record of 22-8 as a frontrunner under Shanahan.
“You’re generally just a lost head coach,” the host added. “Even while Jimmy G is trying to help you out, coach Shanahan, you’re still not good enough. Do you want to know why? Because Shanahan won ten games in total, absolutely, in his first two years. And then Jimmy G comes in second. years, they’re 1-10 … Jimmy GQ flies from Foxborough to save the day and possibly save his job.Definitely, his reputation, Mr. Kyle Shanahan.
“Then suddenly in that third year, the first year as a full-time appetizer once Jimmy GQ is in the building, guess what they’re doing. They’re going to the Super Bowl with Jimmy GQ.”
Although he is a winner when he is on the field, he is one of the biggest concerns around Garoppolo. The quarterback has missed 23 games over the past three seasons, including ten games missed in 2020 due to ankle injuries.
While the host acknowledges the historic number of injuries that plagued the roster last season, he feels Shanahan is blaming his quarterback.
“Kyle Shanahan, stop trying to buy yourself some time by setting up another quarterback to take care of when you were just trading for a quarterback you took to a Super Bowl,” Wiley said. added. “So it’s a very displaced aggression for me, which means, ‘I’m angry at the wrong thing. “Or it’s a situation that’s just classic deflection. ‘Oh, I’m having problems. People do not really want to look at my lost overall coaching record, the fact that I really am not that good without Jimmy G.’ ‘
