The last time a San(ta) (Clara) Francisco 49ers quarterback made his debut against the Chicago Bears, the stat line wasn't too kind to Chicago's defense. 243 yards and two touchdowns at first glance doesn't seem special, but those meager numbers don't do the performance justice. That thoroughly was Colin Kaepernick dicing up an over-the-hill Brian Urlacher Bears unit on "Monday Night Football".
Five years later, on a much less grand stage, (Arlington Heights) Chicago native Jimmy Garoppolo makes his own starting debut for San(ta) (Clara) Francisco against his childhood team.
