The 49ers’ Week 12 game against the Seattle Seahawks was earmarked by many as the likely debut for new quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, but C.J. Beathard’s performance against the Giants last Sunday has largely changed that narrative.
After roughly two weeks in the 49ers clubhouse, Matt Maiocco told Murph & Mac Thursday morning that C.J. Beathard is fitting in well with his new teammates, in particular C.J. Beathard.
The 49ers might wait on playing Jimmy Garoppolo after C.J. Beathard’s performance and will likely keep Reuben Foster at outside linebacker for a while.
As the 49ers won their first game of the season on Sunday, C.J. Beathart may have won himself the starting quarterback role for the time being with the best start of his career and NFL insider Ian Rapopport believes he deserves another start.
Although it was reported that C.J. Beathard will start on Sunday, 49ers beat writer Matt Maiocco told Gary & Larry that he believes there’s a chance Jimmy Garoppolo will finally see the field against the New York Giants.
