Top five quarterback situations in the NFL right now

#5 San Francisco 49ers

Rounding out the top five are the San Francisco 49ers, who many would have picked as the worst QB situation in the league just two years ago. They traded for Jimmy Garoppolo midseason and ended up winning their final five games after going 1-10 up to that point. Being picked as a darkhorse team last year, Jimmy tore his ACL early on and had several mediocre showing to start 2019.

In last week’s Thursday Night game at Arizona he, finally showed that he can take over games if the run game can’t get going. With how the market has evolved, that 100-million dollar contract doesn’t look that huge any more and they have him secured until 2022 now. Nick Mullens had that incredible debut against the Raiders last season when nobody even knew who he was, and multiple teams inquired about him at the trade deadline accordingly. Finally, San Francisco was competitive in all but one of C.J. Beathard’s five starts last season. The former third-round pick out of Iowa has been at least serviceable for them in a backup role.
