Kyle Shanahan Sticking with Jimmy G as 49ers Expect Trey Lance's Return
Kyle Shanahan is sticking with Jimmy Garoppolo and plans for the veteran quarterback to start on Sunday against the Chicago Bears.
Garoppolo is coming off of a rough outing against the Indianapolis Colts where the quarterback connected on just 59 percent of his throws for 181 yards, one touchdown, two costly interceptions and a fumble.

As the 49ers sit at 2-4, naturally, questions have begun circling around the team's potential to make a change under center.

However, despite the disappointing loss, Shanahan believes Garoppolo gives the 49ers the best chance to turn their middling season around.
