There's a big choice to make.
Luckily, the 49ers have more than a day to make it.
What to do about Jimmy Garoppolo? Oh, what to do?
The Niners are in a pickle. Do they stick with the quarterback who was at the helm for 13 wins and two playoff victories last year, or do they deem that the lows of his six games this year were too low and sever ties this offseason?
It seemed inconceivable not long ago that the Niners would part ways with a quarterback who turned 29 on Monday and played on a busted ankle this season, but there are plenty of examples of such a bold move. Just ask Case Keenum — who led the Vikings to a 13-3 record in 2017, and even won a playoff game — all about that. He's now the backup to Baker Mayfield in Cleveland — his third team in three years since Minnesota let him go.
This league can catch up with you fast.
And there are plenty of options that should be available should the Niners be looking for a new quarterback this offseason.
