i know that article was more meant to be fun rather than factual, and it was. complaining about an unambitious offense but acknowledging horrendous quarterbacking - not sure the solution to beathard not being able to even complete a dump off is to have him fire off some sideline bombs (to their no receivers). also, describing garoppolo as "just a back up" is p bad faith, as if not beating out a HOFer for the #1 job is a blemish on his nfl career to date.
fwiw i think signing garoppolo was by far the niners' best choice in this situation, and getting him now vs after the season makes better logistic sense and also sets up next year better, since this year is obv a wash anyhow. i don't know how he'll turn out but if he left in the summer he'd have got paid a huge contract for what he might be. now he has to go out and play on a horrendous defense and either that'll be half a season that cools down the contract expectations or he'll look worth the huge contract, so it's advantageous to SF either way.

yeah it's just a longshot w/ garaoppolo i think - more a sign of desperation. i don't really blame them at all esp w/ beathard's performance. but being hopeful bc the guy succeeded as a qb on a belichick offense for a couple weeks is def high hopes.

much less of a long shot than drafting a qb with that same pick. no one can claim to know how he'll be for sure but the hype is not just based on 2 nfl starts.
