Golden Nuggets: Joe Montana Weighs In On 49ers’ QB Situation

Joe Montana: 49ers should keep Jimmy Garoppolo, Trey Lance isn’t ready

“I think you keep Jimmy until you find somebody else,” Montana said. “I don’t think Trey’s ready to play yet, myself, and after talking to some of the players. It’s one of those things that, if you can keep Jimmy healthy, he plays well enough to get you here.”

“I feel like there wasn’t a week that he didn’t get better,” Samuel said. “Every week, he was getting better and better. And then Kyle mentioned that during the year. ...

Evolving Lance-Shanahan relationship key to 49ers’ success in 2022

“For us, it’s just continuing to build that relationship,” Lance told Rich Eisen on “The Rich Eisen Show” on Friday. “Him understanding how I see the game and vice-versa. I’m trying to get to that point. Every time he talks football, I’m trying to write everything down. I want to record it. He’s just that type of brain. Same with [former 49ers OC] Mike McDaniel. I haven’t been around too many people that every time they talk about something it really means a lot. I want to write it down because if I don’t, I feel like I’m missing out on something. “
