George Kittle Weighs in on Jimmy Garoppolo’s Future as 49ers QB

Jimmy Garoppolo and George Kittle San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers have had a huge letdown this season after reaching the Super Bowl last year. They’re sitting at 6-9, and the future at the quarterback position is suddenly up in the air. 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan recently was asked about Jimmy Garoppolo’s future with the team. While he did say the plan is to have Jimmy back as the starter, there wasn’t any guarantees given. Now, superstar tight end George Kittle is lending his opinion to the discussion.

 

Now Jimmy Garoppolo’s favorite target is weighing in:

“At the end of the day I play tight end here and I just work here, but I think that I do have a little bit of a voice and I’ve said multiple times that I just love playing football with Jimmy G,” Kittle told KNBR’s Mark Willard. “Our team is different when he’s out there, and that’s why it’s fun to play football with him because I think we both have big-time changes to our huddles when we’re both on the football field.

“I can’t say enough about the leader Jimmy G is, and how his presence changes how the team is feeling, how the team is going about its business and how the team practices every day. Jimmy G is our quarterback, and moving forward he’s our quarterback, and that’s all I really have to say about it.”

Jimmy Garoppolo isn’t a game changer, but he can lead a team to a Super Bowl. Plus, he and George Kittle have plenty of chemistry. Until the San Francisco 49ers find someone way better than Jimmy, they might as well give him another fresh start next season.
