Rich updates Sam Darnold’s ankle injury and reflects on the star-crossed career of the Carolina Panthers’ QB since coming out of USC with great expectations, and gives some advice to a caller from the U.K. who’s in an INSANE 24-team fantasy football league. 49ers General Manager John Lynch tells Rich how Jimmy Garoppolo’s offseason shoulder surgery severely limited his trade market and led to the Niners keeping him as their backup QB, how Trey Lance reacted to learning that Jimmy G would be sticking around and if there’s a chance he could return to the starting role if the 2nd-year QB struggles, and reveals how deep the rift was between the team and Deebo Samuel before they inked the All-Pro WR to an big contract extension. Rich and the guys break down the 49ers’ Jimmy Garoppolo/Trey Lance dynamic and if Jimmy G’s presence will hinder the development of the promising 2nd-year quarterback.
