San Francisco 49ers
Ah yes, a reunion of the two quarterbacks Tom Brady had shipped out of New England.
While Jimmy Garoppolo is the guy in San Francisco, his health is a concern. Currently, Garoppolo is working his way back from an ankle injury and could actually start this week against Miami. But he has a history of getting sidelined because of his health.
Nick Mullens is the backup and he has flashes where it looks like he can get it done – Week 3 against the New York Giants – and then he can go out and throw up a stinker and cost the 49ers the game – Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
If Garoppolo is going to continue to battle injuries and the 49ers want to stay legit, they should at least put out feelers for Brissett. They’re in a very tough division and having a two or three-game stretch without Jimmy G could cost them a playoff spot. They’re going to want to have a consistent backup they can rely on.
