On Jimmy G, John Lynch says the QB has been a pro, as “he always has been with us.” Why are you doing this? “Jimmy knows…what we’re doing & why we’re doing it.” Shanahan says injuries for Garoppolo is why they’re doing this but “feel very fortunate” to bring a rook in with JG.

This is a really good, honest answer from Shanahan. Here’s the deal: They feel like they have a championship roster (They didn’t expect getting as many FAs back as they did), so it’s not hard to see why they wouldn’t be ready to trust all that to a rookie just yet.
Unless …
… someone blows them away with an offer. Right now, they’re operating from a position of strength. And I’m on board with their logic—it’s not worth jeopardizing a potential title run for what you might get with, say, a Day 2 pick.
It’s really not that complicated.
