George Kittle Disagrees With 49ers Legend Joe Montana; Believes Trey Lance Will Take Over as QB 1 Next Season
Follow Us
The San Francisco 49ers have an issue at the quarterback position. It is unclear if we will see their star quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo, in a Niners shirt next season. And some are still questioning the skills of their backup QB Trey Lance. The TE George Kittle is 100% behind Lance as the next QB1 for the 49ers.
The star tight end will catch the ball for anyone wearing a Niners logo. But he disagrees with the San Francisco 49ers legend Joe Montana. Kittle already seems ready to go for the next season. And he would have no problem if Lance got a promotion.
