San Francisco 49ers general manager
John Lynch suggested Wednesday that the team is preparing to move forward
with Trey Lance as its starting quarterback for the 2022 season.
Lynch was asked about the Niners’
QB situation on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football amid
rumors of a potential Jimmy Garoppolo trade, and he noted Lance’s
status as the No. 3 overall pick in last year’s draft is a factor.
“There certainly has been
discussions. We’ll always listen to things, but when you make that
kind of investment in someone, you tend to use him,” Lynch said.
The sixth-year GM added: “I think he’s just got
that makeup that the great ones do. We can only hope that he can be
Patrick Mahomes or anything close to that, but he’s gonna get his
chance to go show that.”
