The Jimmy G era in San Francisco is coming to an end.

The 49ers have plans to move on from the winning QB, as the writing is on the wall, Jimmy G isn’t in their plans any longer. Jimmy Garoppolo sounds like a man who is ready to move on.

Jimmy G spoke with the media yesterday and said the 49ers are working on finding the “right destination” for him.

Jimmy just wants to land on a team who is competitive.

Via NFL.com:

“We’ve talked a little bit, I think more will happen in the days to come but yeah these guys have been very upfront about the whole thing,” Garoppolo said. “Was talking to John (Lynch) yesterday just about finding the right destination and whatever the future holds, just doing it the right way. Got a long career ahead of me so I’m excited about it, excited about the opportunities to come.

“I just want to go to a place where they want to win, that’s really what I’m in this game for. I’m here to play football, I’m here to win football games and as long as I got that and good people around me, I think the rest will take care of itself.”

The 49ers have gone as far as they’re going to go with Jimmy G. It’s time for Trey Lance to take over the reigns, whether he’s ready or not.

Jimmy G is one of those guys who wins games, but you’re never going to be too excited about him when it’s playoff time.

Hopefully the Niners give him a chance to be on a winning team.
