The Facts: The 49ers need a No. 3 quarterback, but it’s not going to be Carr. Matt Maiocco CSNBayArea.com reports that the 49ers will release Carr Thursday.
Diehards Line:As PFT's Gregg Rosenthal suggested, it would have been a big surprise if they decided to keep him. Maiocco points out that Alex Smith has consolidated his hold on the 49ers starting job and Colin Kaepernick is locked in as the No. 2. It makes sense to sign a more economical No. 3.
