It's not impossible, but what the San Francisco 49ers must do to finish –

this season is difficult. After Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a season-ending injury,

49ers now has two quarterbacks out. In Week 2, Trey Lance's campaign was over.

Finding a single reliable QB is a challenge for many NFL teams.

You can't expect a squad to have three quality players.

There isn't much you can do when you lose your top two.

Despite our best efforts, the 49ers face a very difficult road ahead.

They are aiming to win a Super Bowl by selecting a backup quarterback, most likely Mr. Irrelevant in this year's draft,

or perhaps a journeyman veteran who has played for a record 14 NFL teams.

The 49ers are suffering a terrible injury since they are talented enough to win the Super Bowl and

the NFC isn't that strong. The 49ers had a good chance of winning another Super Bowl if they got hot.
