Shanahan painted a picture of the 49ers’ biggest QB move this preseason as a no-brainer, even if he didn’t think it was possible that long ago. “That was (a case of), ‘Oh my God, Jimmy Garoppolo is available as a backup quarterback,’” Shanahan said. “”And that makes sense to him and it makes sense to us. What else is there to think about?” By bringing Garoppolo back at a reduced salary, the 49ers were able to avoid a major financial hit without a trade. Now, they have a returning quarterback who has started 45 games for the club and helped them to a Super Bowl appearance and an NFC title game the past three years. That’s safety that’s hard to buy in this league. “We have a starting quarterback as a backup,” Shanahan said. “The rest of the league had a chance to get him and I feel so lucky they didn’t. “There’s no way it’s going to be bad for our team.” The first, of course, is Trey Lance — and Shanahan made that point again in case anyone was wondering. He added that Garoppolo is the team’s QB2 heading into the Week 1 matchup at the Chicago Bears. Before San Francisco’s final preseason game, predictions for Lance were overwhelmingly positive. But Lance and the first-team offense that did little against the Texans in the preseason finale — combined with Garoppolo’s return days later — have led to questions about whether the 49ers are quietly worried about the 22-year-old starter. their. Do not be afraid. Shanahan doubled down on his belief that the 49ers will enjoy plenty of riches at the position. “There aren’t 32 starting quarterbacks in the NFL,” Shanahan said, “and we think we have two of them.” Some have also speculated that there may be tension between Lance and Garoppolo in this deal. Another potential issue that Shanahan was happy to shoot down. “When I told Trey that Jimmy was coming back, he said, ‘Awesome,’” Shanahan said. “There was no relationship to mend.” And the hand-wringing about Garoppolo not having a passbook while he continues to work off offseason shoulder surgery? Shanahan took the opportunity to downplay the idea with a dose of humor. “We don’t have any concerns about him not having a book,” Shanahan said. “I do not have either”. Shanahan was asked why they tried to trade Garoppolo if he was such an asset. The coach then slammed the other 31 teams in the league for their inaction. “The rest of the league had a chance to get him,” Shanahan said.
