49ers coach Kyle Shanahan recently gave one of his strongest endorsements of Jimmy Garoppolo yet when asked about the quarterback's offseason. He was asked how he responded to the team at least considering the idea of signing Tom Brady in free agency.
"When you have to talk to Jimmy about one of the best quarterbacks of all time being available, I know Jimmy has a goal to be that," Shanahan said last week. "I know Jimmy. I believe Jimmy has the ability to be that and that's what both of us are going for."
It's no surprise Shanahan would shower his quarterback with praise after an offseason where the open discussion of whether the 49ers would add Brady dominated a few news cycles.
