The NFL legend told Michael Silver on the "Open Mike" podcast

NFL legend Joe Montana, the four-time Super Bowl champion with the 49ers, has an interesting pick for the next San Francisco quarterback.

And it’s not the one the San Francisco brass appear to be choosing.

“I start Jimmy (Garoppolo),” the Pro Football Hall Of Fame quarterback said when asked who he’d throw his support behind — Brock Purdy or Trey Lance.

“How many games has Jimmy won? For the longest time, questions were out with Jimmy for a while.

“But the one thing he has been able to do is win games for those guys. He’ll make a mistake here and there, but some of those things I don’t just put on Jimmy.”
