The 49ers game against the Chargers on Sunday had something for everybody.
For the C.J. Beathard believers, there was a great performance by the 49ers backup quarterback. An emphatic statement that the loss of Jimmy Garoppolo didn’t necessarily mean an end to competitive play — or offensive fireworks.
For those “forget the QB, the defense is the problem” folks, there was the increasingly familiar cavalcade of missed tackles, uncovered receivers, and almost complete lack of a pass rush to help negate Beathard’s performance.
For the elegant tank crowd, who think the season is over and the 49ers only goal should be landing the highest possible draft pick, there was, ultimately, a loss.
