NFL Twitter reacts to Jimmy Garoppolo replacing injured 49ers QB Trey Lance

Jimmy Garoppolo is under center once again for the 49ers. As expected, NFL Twitter reacted rationally.

Or not.

Starting quarterback Trey Lance was carted off the field in the first quarter of San Francisco’s home opener against the Seattle Seahawks with an ankle injury. He was ruled out for the remainder of the game.

That gave the 49ers' quarterback job back to Garoppolo, who shockingly returned to the team on a massive pay cut after San Francisco failed to find a trade partner this offseason.

Here's what Twitter had to say:

Oh no Trey! Damn hate to see injuries! This is why you keep Jimmy.

Jimmy Garoppolo has an odd history of coming in as a backup against the Seahawks and thriving

This is absolutely heartbreaking

On the flip side, I truly believe Jimmy Garoppolo is going to secure another $100 million dollar contract.
