SANTA CLARA–San Francisco 49ers quarterback CJ Beathard has a future he ran a 62 yard keeper up the middle after the Seattle Seahawks defense started to put the pressure on Beathard and he had no where else to go so he kept it for the run and was impressive and ended up being starting quarterback Brian Hoyer’s backup.

Hoyer is an okay quarterback your not going to expect a lot he’s formable he’s your looking at a Alex Smith type and the 49ers do manage a team on time of possession. There is the potential of Beathard of being the starting quarterback. Something that is is very possible. Also third string quarterback Matt Barkely was released by the 49ers on Friday along with running back Tim Hightower and lineman Tim Barnes.
