San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard has shown some improvement in his rookie campaign since coming in for Brian Hoyer. While there’s been some bad, the good was on display during the 49ers 31-21 route of the New York Giants.
But there’s the elephant in the room, or the sidelines: Jimmy Garoppolo. The 49ers coaching staff is trying to get him ready to eventually take Beathard’s job. Worse, this happened only a handful of starts in Beathard’s career. While this gameday experience will be invaluable to the current 49ers starter, and may make the 49ers quarterback room one of the strongest in the league, one may think there’s some resentment from Beathard for not getting much to prove himself, let alone his coach trading for another quarterback mid-season.
