John Lynch Has No Doubt Jimmy Garoppolo Will Be 49ers' Starter In 2021

Feb 25, 2021 8:21 AM

John Lynch made some definitive comments about the San Francisco 49ers' quarterback situation during an appearance on The Eye Test for Two Podcast.

Lynch said he has no doubt Jimmy Garoppolo will be the 49ers' starter in 2021.

The comments did come with a caveat: "If Garoppolo stays injury-free," something that hasn't happened two of the past three seasons.

The 49ers are 24-9, including the postseason, in games Garoppolo has started since he arrived in a trade with the New England Patriots. They are 7-19 over the same period when he doesn’t.

Richard Sherman Wants To Play Two More Seasons

Feb 9, 2021 8:54 AM

Richard Sherman, who will become an unrestricted free agent next month, wants to play two more seasons and then retire from football.

The defensive back will be 33 in March.

"I only want to play two more [seasons]," Sherman said. "I want to get on a competitive team. I think I still have a lot to give to the game. I think I still have a lot that I want to accomplish and I think I can go out there and help a defense come together like it should and reach their potential, reach the heights that the defenses that I've played on have reached."
