Bleacher Report is, uh, reporting that Jimmy Garoppolo has been named the starting quarterbacker for the upcoming Chicago Bears game. Time to show the world if the braintrust knows what they are up to. So it looks like barring yet another injury, Jimmy G will be the starter for the rest of the season, as in the next 4 games.
Huzzah.
Thing is, this is the part of the schedule that I thought the team would be coalescing around their young buck coach and gaining momentum as we head off into the sunset and the bright future with our new QB. Instead, the team is in tattered rags around him. The latest to hit the bricks is back up RT Erik Magnuson, who is out with a foot sprain, and Trent Brown is still day-to-day with his shoulder injury. The backup to the backup is rookie Darrell Williams Jr, or (gulp) Zane Beadles. Magnuson kinda sucked at center, and the rest of the line has been shakey as fuck, so . . . I hope Jimmy G has a quick trigger finger. He may have a very short run.
In other news, ST star gunner, Raheem Mostert is heading to the IR with a knee injury, and free safety Adrian Colbert, who looked great against the Giants, is questionable for the Bears game. Woof!
Forty Niners Forever 
12th is probably right about Hyde, he’ll land somewhere else due to cost. The Niners will also have Joe Williams next year, but he and Breida are unproven (Breida less so), so it remains to be seen if they can carry the load. Assuming Hyde doesn’t come back, they’ll likely draft a RB or two. A good sized chunk of that cap money should go to massively improving the line.
I agree, the Oline should be a top priority. With Staley and Brown in there we are OK but we need a few bruisers at guard and center that can open some holes. As yesterday proved we are not bad on defense when we don’t have to spend all day on the field. Of course we went up against a rookie QB but still our defense played a hell of a game. I think last years draft is gonna go down as one of SF’s very best.
Ben McAdoo fired. An in season firing by the Giants shows what an idiotic move it was to bench Eli.
I just hope Eli doesn’t end up in AZ.
Good point.
Eli would get killed in AZ. AZ is in free-fall.
The GM too!
They need a big full Back like Tom Rathman. Hyde is to small for 3rd and goal. I still think they should have tried a pass to the end zone at the end of the game. An interception could happen just as surely a fumble, so take the shot
You can bet JG thinks that way too.
They don’t use Juice enough on short yardage IMO.
OJ just got out of jail, what Juice are you speaking of? 😂😂
Lol, not that one for sure. Kyle Juszczyk. Since no one can spell it or pronounce it for that matter, he is juice.
Niners dropped to #3 in the draft after the Bears win.
New thread is up.
