"Click, click, click; it's good for business," Mike Florio recently said during Pro Football Talk Live regarding the Brady-top-49ers rumors running wild.

While the media is entertaining itself with speculation-driven reports and discussion of the San Francisco 49ers potentially replacing quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo with Tom Brady, the fanbase has made it clear where it stands on the debate.

We recently asked fans to vote on which player they prefer starts at quarterback for the 49ers in 2020, and, unsurprisingly, the overwhelming majority support the 28-year-old Garoppolo over the 42-year-old Brady.

As of this post, almost 93 percent of fans asked on Twitter voted for Garoppolo.


The results weren't much different on Facebook, with 91 percent of fans voting for Garoppolo there.



"We're extremely proud of Jimmy and committed to Jimmy moving forward," general manager John Lynch said last month during the NFL Scouting Combine. "He's our guy. As I've said, from the day he walked into our building, he made us better, and we continue to feel that's the case. And that's the most exciting think about him, is the room for growth. He's not come close to hitting his ceiling."

Garoppolo completed 69.1 percent of his passes for 3,978 yards with 27 touchdowns and 13 interceptions this past season. His single-season passing yards total ranks fourth all-time in 49ers franchise history.

While Lynch says Garoppolo has not yet hit his ceiling, some would argue that Brady's best years are behind him. Brady completed 60.8 percent of his passes for 4,057 yards with 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions, but got there on 134 more attempts than Garoppolo.

Is new 49ers backup QB Josh Dobbs an upgrade over Sam Darnold?

By Marc Adams
Mar 24

In 2022, the San Francisco 49ers seemed to have an embarrassment of riches at the quarterback spot. They had second-year player, and first-year starter Trey Lance, who they had traded the world away to draft. They had Jimmy Garoppolo, the team's starting QB from late 2017-2021, as Lance's backup. And they had a seventh-round draft pick in Brock Purdy, though he would be unlikely to play. Or so we thought. After Lance and Garoppolo went down, Purdy surprised everyone by keeping the ship afloat and leading the 49ers back to the NFC Championship Game. But after an injury to the UCL in his throwing arm, Purdy's 2023 season was in jeopardy. Which quarterbacks the 49ers would take to training camp was now even more important. They still had Lance, but they added Brandon Allen and

Jimmy Garoppolo is back in the NFC West after signing a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback recently explained his decision to join the division rival after a one-season stint with the Las Vegas Raiders. "Obviously good players all around," Garoppolo said, per ESPN. "That's a big part of it. Talking to [head coach] Sean [McVay] on the phone, him just running me through offense and things that he had in mind, it really became appetizing. And I know a lot of the coaches here, so a lot of familiarity in that aspect. And then having played against the Rams a lot in my career, I've seen a lot of good things
