You know it’s the offseason when we’ve moved on to backup quarterback rankings! The San Francisco 49ers quarterback depth chart does not have a clear long-term solution, but for 2017, the depth chart is entirely clear. Brian Hoyer will start, Matt Barkley is his backup, and C.J. Beathard is going to be the third quarterback on the depth chart.
Hoyer is a solid quarterback with a limited ceiling but a fairly high floor. He played well in 2014 when Kyle Shanahan was his offensive coordinator, and he looked solid last year with the Chicago Bears before he got hurt.
