Pressure is Growing For the 49ers Heading into Sunday

While the story in San Francisco remains focused on the self-imposed quarterback controversy the 49ers are dealing with, Kyle Shanahan is slowly seeing the spotlight turn on him and it’s definitely not in a good way.

Sunday night’s loss to the Colts remains a frustrating one, especially considering the 49ers had Indianapolis on the ropes at multiple times throughout that contest. Instead, turnovers and coaching miscues ultimately led to mistakes they couldn’t come back from and sitting at 2-4, things are starting to look a little bleak for Shanahan’s club.

The thought seemed to be that adding Trey Lance this offseason was the smart move, since the 49ers seemed to have already made their decision about the future when it came to Jimmy Garoppolo.
