What if the Houston Texans gave up on Davis Mills and traded for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo?
The Texans would have a proven quarterback who could lead a team to a conference title game at least — pending his availability and play were up to snuff. The 49ers needed to win the last game of the season in overtime just to qualify as he missed two games. Even when Garoppolo was able to start, the 49ers went 9-6.
If not for Trey Lance beating Houston in Week 17, the 49ers may have missed the playoffs altogether.
