The San Francisco 49ers were fairly abysmal in 2016. They finished the season 2-14, ranking No. 27 in points scored and No. 32 in points allowed. Suffice to say, they were bad.
But how bad would they have been with a significant change at the quarterback position? For example, what if Matthew Stafford was the team’s quarterback, rather than Colin Gabbert? In Detroit last season, Stafford put up great numbers, completing 65.3 percent of his passes for 4,327 yards, with 24 touchdowns and ten interceptions, and a passer rating of 93.3. In comparison, the 49ers quarterbacks combined to complete 58.
