The 49ers’ worst fear has been confirmed. On Monday, an MRI revealed that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has suffered a season-ending ACL tear, as Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets. The Niners will place Garoppolo on injured reserve, opening up a spot on the roster that will surely be filled by another quarterback. 
The 49ers, for now, will turn the starting job over to backup C.J. Beathard. After the second-year QB went 1-4 in five starts last year, it’s far from an ideal situation for San Francisco. If the 49ers seek outside help, they may want to give the Browns a call to see what it would take to acquire Tyrod Taylor, who has lost his starting job to rookie Baker Mayfield.
The free agent market, which may or may not include retired signal caller Jay Cutler, doesn’t have much to offer the 49ers. Colin Kaepernick may represent the most talented available QB at this time, but he’s unlikely to return to SF for obvious reasons. On Sunday, we heard that the Niners are unlikely to bring in competition for Beathard, but that thinking could easily change.
The 49ers picked up Garoppolo from the Patriots in exchange for a second-round pick last November, and subsequently inked him to a five-year, $137.5MM extension. Tom Brady‘s former protege won all five of his starts in the Bay Area last year, but was off to a so-so start in 2018. In three starts, Garoppolo went 1-2 with three interceptions against five touchdowns.
Jimmy Garrop-OH-KNOW!
Damn hate to hear that =(
Tyrod makes the most sense
Fragile knee lead to Alc
Athletes should know
So is New England
Sign Davis Webb off the Jets practice squad. C.J. starts and we get a high pick again this year. Come back at full strength next year with hopefully a nice pass rusher, a healthy Jimmy and Jerick.
Is Kapernick still available? I kid….I kid
He is, but why play for money will dummies will pay you to do nothing…
Haha screw the 9er’s
Trade for Tom Brady. NE is cooked this year.
