CJ Beathard is now the 49'ers starting QB with Jimmy G done for the season with a torn ACL.

CJ has 13 games left in the 2018-2019 season to prove himself. The 49'ers are 1-2 so far this season (where Jimmy G started).

Also reported on Sunday, Sep 23: Asked if he would look for a veteran quarterback, Head Coach Kyle Shanahan said he believes in Beathard and indicated that any quarterback brought in would be to back up Beathard.



ORIGINAL POST:

Who's watching the 49'ers at Chiefs game?

Jimmy G got hurt (leg injury where he was carted off).

CJ's first pass? To George Kittle for a TD but it comes back because of offensive pass interference (ref said Anthony Hitchens got picked on the play) ! THREE HAWKEYES INVOLVED IN ONE PLAY!

The call was BS, per the announcers.

Here is video of CJ's TD pass to George where Hitchens supposedly was picked:

Game’s pretty much over. I’m irritated because I started Kittle this week in fantasy... and the Hawk-Hawk connection with CJ coming in on 4th down would have been pretty cool

waving off that TD pass cost the 49ers 4 points (they settled for a FG)

This game should be only a 7 point difference; would have been cool to see CJ run a 2 minute offense and see if he could tie the game

Officials in this game have been trash. SF hasnt dont themselves any favors, but they called a PI in the first half that the WR had absolutley no chance at catching. And it wasnt a defensive hold. The ball it the wall along the sideline.

Just goes to show...in the NFL, be ready. Sucks for Jimmy G, but it's also another opportunity for CJ to show what he's got if a long term injury.

SF has had issues keeping QB's healthy in recent years. CJ wasn't bad last year, but took a beating (as did JG once he started playing).

Good luck, CJ!

I’d stop short of saying it’s Jimmy’s fault he got hurt, but lowering your throwing shoulder into an NFL DB trying to gain an extra yard when you’re basically out of bounds probably isn't the smartest move to begin with.

It's being reported that any quarterback brought in would be to back up Beathard.

Note that Kittle gets quoted in the story that follows.

From Espn.com:

Last year, Beathard arrived as a third-round pick out of Iowa and his job was to provide insurance for veteran Brian Hoyer. Hoyer struggled early in the season and Beathard replaced him in Week 6 against the Washington Redskins. Beathard would go on to start the next five games, even leading the Niners to the first victory of the Shanahan regime in Week 10 against the New York Giants.

Asked if he would look for a veteran quarterback, Shanahan said he believes in Beathard and indicated that any quarterback brought in would be to back up Beathard.

Moments after revealing the possibility of an ACL injury for Garoppolo, Shanahan quickly pivoted to expressing his optimism about Beathard.

"I have got a lot of confidence in C.J.," Shanahan said. "... He came in today, made a hell of a throw on that fourth down. No hesitation. C.J. is a gamer. Everyone in here has a ton of respect for C.J., how he handles himself. He’s a man out there and he’s a very good quarterback and we’re fortunate to have him."

The good news for the Niners is that this won't be Beathard's first time stepping into a difficult situation. The 49ers were 0-6 when he started his first game as a rookie and the season was already mostly lost.

While Beathard's numbers -- 1,430 yards with four touchdowns and six interceptions and a passer rating of 69.2 -- weren't impressive, he won over teammates and coaches with his toughness and willingness to stand in the pocket and fire passes as he took hits from all angles.

"It’s huge having already played last year," Beathard said. "I feel like it will really help me going forward having had the experience. ... I think it will be a little bit easier this time."

In the offseason, even as the Niners were committing to Garoppolo, Beathard ventured to Nashville with teammates George Kittle and Trent Taylor and a few other NFL players to train. That group spent time working on routes and dived deeper into Shanahan's playbook. Kittle, who played with Beathard at Iowa and is one of his closest friends, said he saw a lot of improvement in Beathard during that time.

"I’m not worried at all about C.J.," Kittle said. "He’s a hell of a quarterback. He knows how to win. So I’m not worried about that at all. He’s going to step right in and he’s going to do just fine.

"Coach Shanahan has the highest standards for every single person on the team, especially C.J. That’s why they took him in the third round, they thought so highly of him. And he did his job last year and he’s going to step up and do it again no matter what happens."

Of course, this second turn as the starter also comes with far more in the way of expectations. When Beathard took over a winless outfit in 2017, there weren't many delusions of grandeur as he stepped in for career journeyman Hoyer.

This time, there's still a whopping 13 games left to play and he's replacing Garoppolo, one of the most intriguing young quarterbacks in the league. To put it bluntly, the Niners' season now rides on whether Beathard can, at least, provide some of the things Garoppolo brings to the table.

The first order of business, according to Beathard, is to do exactly what Garoppolo told him in the training room.

"It’s just a matter of keeping everybody in it and staying positive," Beathard said. "There’s going to be every opportunity in the world for guys to be mad or down about certain things but we’ve got to keep our morale and stay positive and move on to next week."

Its official. CJ will start the last 13 games for the 49'ers. The 49ers have lost Jimmy Garoppolo for the season with a torn ACL

Here is the discussion of the 49'ers plan on ESPN:

A few more tidbits:

According to Shanahan, the plan is to move forward with Beathard as the starter. On the play after Garoppolo's injury, Beathard hit Kittle for a would-be touchdown, though it was erased by an offensive pass interference call against the Niners.

Beathard did not attempt a pass that counted in Sunday's game, though he did start five games as a rookie last season, including San Francisco's first win of the season against the New York Giants. In seven games prior to Sunday's loss, Beathard completed 54.9 percent of his passes for 1,430 yards with four touchdowns and six interceptions for a passer rating of 69.2.

"I have got a lot of confidence in C.J.," Shanahan said. "He came in today, made a helluva throw on that fourth down. No hesitation. C.J. is a gamer. Everyone in here has a ton of respect for C.J., how he handles himself. He's a man out there, and he's a very good quarterback, and we're fortunate to have him."

ESPN's Nick Wagoner and Mike Reiss contributed to this report.
