The Facts: The 2021 offseason could be historic in terms of quarterback turnover throughout the league. One team consistently remaining in the quarterback rumor mill is the 49ers. With Garoppolo missing 10 games in 2020, the thought process follows that the Niners could look to upgrade the position to get back to the postseason. Jimmy G's biggest advocate, George Kittle, dismissed all the chatter as simple offseason gossip tea. "I definitely see Twitter likes to talk. In my opinion, that's all it is: It's talk, and it's chatter," he said.

Diehards Line:Kittle added: "Jimmy's a hell of a quarterback, took us to a Super Bowl last year. Unfortunately, some injuries prohibited us this year and I know prohibited him from performing at his best. I still believe in Jimmy G. I think he's an incredible quarterback. I think he can lead us to another Super Bowl. I think we can win a Super Bowl with him. ... I'll keep dying on the sword because I think Jimmy G's a fantastic quarterback. He's got an amazing release, got a great arm and a great touch. So I'm happy to have Jimmy G as my quarterback and I know that we can win with him." Staying healthy has been Garoppolo's biggest bugaboo since taking over the Niners' starting QB gig. He played just three games in 2018 and six last season. In the one year he was healthy from start to finish, the Niners went 13-3 and made the Super Bowl. Garoppolo might have his flaws, but there are far worse situations than entering 2021 with the 29-year-old starting QB. In addition, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo noted this week that Garoppolo is more highly thought of within the building than he is outside.
