But there is a growing concern within the fan base i should say nobody on the coaching level said this but many wonder if hes the longterm answer at quarterback between injury concerns and his up and down play. I dont think those concerns are all that crazy but there is no doubt that the niners tend to win when jimmy is under center 24 9 with rob lowe as the starting quarterback since he arrived in town and 27 teens ages, 5. 23 in all other games and. Shanahan seems to be well aware of that he gave his quarterback a vote of confidence today. I expect to be our starting next year i expect him to come play with us this year. You know we have 6 games left were not out of the you know it.

They dont grow on trees and it is just that. Now we go to combo guard, Anthony Edwards of georgia, this kid can score at all 3 levels hes built similarly to Donovan Mitchell the dubs already have a couple of we know steph curry Klay Thompson Andrew Wiggins but that word is the choice they will certainly find room for someone and his skill set and finally we have the top ranked overseas prospect in the draft.
