Golden Nuggets: My official Beathard fan club card came today No Ronnie Lott Jersey , I don’t think CJ Beathard is going to lead us to the Super Bowl and no, I don’t think he will be our starting quarterback a year from now. I think he has had a year to learn our offense and he will run it the best way he can. I don’t even expect him to win many games but life goes on and he is our quarterback and I will be rooting for him on Sunday. So what do I have to look forward to this year? I expect Matt Breida to become a seasoned running back and I expect George Kittle to continue to improve. I am hoping our wide receivers can learn to run the right routes and I am hoping our offensive line can start to gel. There is a lot of improvement needed by those players and positions if the 49ers want to take their game to the next level when Jerrick McKinnon and Jimmy Garoppolo return. I am not expecting Beathard to become a leading quarterback in the NFL but I am keeping my fingers crossed that he can become a very good backup quarterback for Jimmy G and we can feel lucky to have him as our backup for the foreseeable future.Now onto the hot links:Eric Reid picks Panthers over 49ers’ offerChris Biderman49ers injury report: Matt Breida upgraded to full participant in practiceKyle MadsonRichard Sherman blames time off for recent injuryChris BidermanRichard Sherman backs coaching, blames playersBrad AlmquistKyle Shanahan explains why the 49ers couldn’t land Eric ReidDavid BonillaReport: Seahawks offered Eric Reid a one-year deal in AugustCharean WilliamsAfter a Brutal Sunday, the 49ers are Ready to Put Faith in C.J.

Unfortunately, this is going to be one of the shorter editions - I spent all weekend moving to a new house, and missed the game. Not to mention, the internet hasn't quite been set up yet, so I'm trying to do this on my phone (insert nervous emoji here). Although the box score can provide me enough clues to stumble through a review, that seems a little less genuine than I can convincingly feign.What is apparent, despite missing the game, is that the 49ers have been absolutely snakebitten in terms of injury. A week after losing Jimmy Garoppolo for the season, and Richard Sherman for an extended period, the team is now dealing with potentially extended injuries to long-time anchor Joe Staley and rookie 2nd rounder Dante Pettis. Although an ACL injury has been preliminarily ruled out for both, they will undergo MRIs later today, at which point we'll know more about the severity of their injuries. Of course we're all hoping for the best, on both a human and fan level, but knee injuries can be tough to deal with, even if they're not deemed "too serious" - and I wouldn't be surprised if either missed some time.The 49ers are now 1-3, which shouldn't be much of a surprise to anyone, considering that they've been without their top RB the entire season Nick Mullens Jersey , and the franchise quarterback has been lost for the campaign. What is a surprise, however, is that this record ties them with 8 other teams - and behind exactly one. Although the NFC West is home to a team expected to make a deep playoff run in the Los Angeles Rams, the uncomfortable reality is that our actual cheif divisional rival this season is the Arizona Cardinals - who sit ignominiously atop the NFL (in terms of draft positioning) at 0-4, all by their own selves, and enjoying the NFCW basement all to their own selves.49ers sustained several injuries against Chargers || Biderman, Sac Bee | Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay AreaGame 4 review || Biderman, Sac Bee | Madson, Ninerswire | Almquist, KNBRGame 4 analysis || Biderman, Sac Bee | Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay Area | Maiocco (2), NBC Sports Bay Area | Madson, Ninerswire | Lowder, NinerswireTeammates impressed with CJ Beathard's grit || Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay Area | Almquist, KNBR49ers upset with a hard-fought loss || Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay Area49ers reportedly inquired about LeVeon Bell || KNBR Staff
