Buccaneers should call 49ers about quarterback with Tom Brady uncertainty

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers land Jimmy Garoppolo after a postseason loss.

The first scenario, and probably the most likely, is that the 49ers and Garoppolo lose either in the NFC championship or in the Super Bowl. That would give the team reason to try and trade him, in favor of Lance. This might seem disgusting to some, but the buccaneer should be on the phone about this. Yes, Garoppolo is limited. However, there is absolutely ZERO denying that the guy is a winner. So far in San Francisco, Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers are 35-15 including playoffs when he is starting quarterback. When they have literally anyone else starting quarterback, Shanahan and the 49ers are 8-28 the general consensus is that Garoppolo is holding Shanahan’s office back, but with a record disparity like that, are we positive it is not the other way around? It’s something to think about.

Of course, Garoppolo has been thriving in the 49ers run-first system, and that is not exactly the cup of tea of Arians. However, he is no spring chicken himself, so who’s to say that when he inevitably moves on, the Bucs, and potentially Garoppolo, don’t switch to this kind of offensive approach as well? Sidenote, Garoppolo once again coming in as a successor to Brady would really bring things full-circle. #ThisLeague indeed. Speaking of New England, Garoppolo was 2-0 as a starter there for what it’s worth.
