That thought has to concern Niner fans.
Actually, not really.
Beathard ALWAYS takes those hit. He's a tough SOB, but very often he is his own worst enemy. He holds the ball far too long, takes risks running the ball that he shouldn't, and doesn't have Jimmys release.
Last year, Beathard was getting hammered week after week. All of the sudden, Jimmy comes in and is one of the most seldom sacked QBs in the league.
The team didn't magically get better.
Beathard is a big reason he is getting sacked and taking hits.
All I meant is the comment that those hits would have killed Garoppolo has to leave you with concerns about his durability. Avoiding sacks is all well and good, but even if Garoppolo ends up a franchise QB, you're looking at the next Tony Romo (in terms of fragility, I mean). One thing I love about Wilson is how much he resembles a Bozo Bop Bag when he does take hits.
Dunno if he's fragile or not. He was never hurt in High School and College and now he's been hurt twice. I think the lesson he needs to learn is sometimes live to play another down. There was no need for him to cut upfield when he tore his ACL.
