Top Starting QB Options for San Francisco 49ers in 2021

For the San Francisco 49ers, the 2020 NFL season didn't go quite as expected. After narrowly falling short in Super Bowl LIV at the end of last season, San Francisco stumbled through a 6-10 campaign in 2020. This was partially due to injuries, as players like Nick Bosa, Richard Sherman, Solomon Thomas, George Kittle and Jimmy Garoppolo all missed significant stretches of the season.

This was also due to inconsistent and often underwhelming quarterback play, as the combination of Garoppolo, Nick Mullens and C.J. Beathard left plenty to be desired. As a collective, 49ers quarterbacks passed for 4,320 yards, 25 touchdowns, 17 interceptions and a passer rating of 90.
