5 QBs the San Francisco 49ers could focus on now that Tom Brady retired
It appears you can count out Touchdown Tom in the Bay Area
Cross Tom Brady off the list of potential San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks next season.
With news of Brady’s (second) retirement coming from the man himself on Wednesday morning, the Niners can all but give up on the seven-time Super Bowl champion playing for the team he grew up supporting.
Which leaves San Francisco stuck in a peculiar spot—possessing everything it needs to win a Super Bowl except a healthy, reliable quarterback.
Trey Lance, Jimmy Garoppolo and Brock Purdy are all dealing with various injuries. It’s unclear how successful they’ll be if and when they return.
So what do the Niners do now if they can’t rely on their current QB room? There aren’t a ton of great options, but there are some worth exploring.
