If you were basing an argument off recent sentiments alone, the San Francisco 49ers‘ clear-cut choice for backup quarterback in 2019 would be Nick Mullens. Not C.J. Beathard.
It seems pretty obvious as to which signal-caller holds the clipboard for Jimmy Garoppolo next year. Mullens has three of the 49ers’ four wins this season to his credit, while Beathard has just one win over his two-year career.
Ah, but the quarterback-wins argument is silly. There’s far more to be examined here.
For starters, it already looks as if head coach Kyle Shanahan has no intention of giving Beathard in-game reps for the rest of 2018.
