If some teams now take great care to officially announce their holder, often with the reinforcement of a nice visual on their team’s social networks, Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers will not bother. Jimmy Garoppolo or Trey Lance?

Jimmy Garoppolo started the preseason, and took most of the snaps with the starters during preparation. If Shanahan has confirmed that Lance will have some stock, then the number one spot remains with the veteran.
