If this week showed anything, it's that Jimmy Garoppolo and Kyle Shanahan aren't hiding how happy they are to be away from each other.
Do you feel any relief, Kyle, that the period of QB instability, when you changed the position multiple times, could be over now?“The era of changing is, when we got here , we waited 10 weeks and made a trade for , played five games and then we made him the highest-paid quarterback of all time at the time,” Shanahan said. “Then he played two of the next five years and did really good in those two years. His injuries for three of those five years were legit. It was rough on him, rough on us.
“I think anytime you trade up to the third pick in the draft and it doesn’t work out, that’s a weird situation, but that is the situation,” Shanahan said. “So that’s what happened. I don’t think it’s that weird. It’s unusual that it doesn’t work out, but I wouldn’t think that’s weird. I think that’s unusual. What do you think?”
Classic Shanahan back-and-forth, I’d say. I could write 10,000 words on the meaning of Shanahan’s answer here, but I’m determined to keep this under that total. For now, the conclusion is that Shanahan was at a regular-season level of liveliness on Wednesday. Combined with Lynch’s appearance about 20 minutes later, it was all good-natured. But there were messages sent and I’m sure messages received.Again, I think it’s natural for the 49ers’ leaders to have some tension these days.
Meanwhile, the 49ers might not have been anxious about Purdy doing a scheduled “de-load” on Tuesday by cutting back on his throwing, but I’m sure Shanahan and Lynch felt pretty good watching Purdy sling around a few fastballs in practice on Wednesday. They might sound unworried about their kicking situation with rookienursing a minor injury and no healthy kicker on the roster yet, but that can’t be fun for a head coach who hates to worry about his special teams.
