In what has become the most miserable season possibly ever, the 49ers made a lightening bolt of a move, trading a second-round choice for Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
Just minutes after reports surfaced that the 49ers had traded for Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, the team released QB Brian Hoyer, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Bay Area broadcasters John Middlekauff and Guy Haberman discussed the 49ers quarterback situation on their podcast Sunday, and both seemed to agree that the third-round pick just isn’t all that good.
In case you needed one, Sunday’s 33-10 loss at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles was yet another reminder that acquiring a franchise quarterback is priority number one for the 49ers next offseason.
