C.J. Beathard 2021 Outlook
The Jaguars added depth to their QB room by signing Beathard to a two-year, $5 million deal plus incentives. The former third-round pick spent four years with the Niners, primarily as a backup splitting time with reserve signal-caller Nick Mullens under Kyle Shanahan. Beathard started 12 games during his career with San Francisco, completing 58.6 percent of his passes for 3,469 yards, 18 TDs to 13 INTs, and averaging 7.0 yards per attempt. As NFL.com suggests, Beathard is a tough player capable of running an offense, getting into the right play, and orchestrating a chain-moving attack. While he doesn't boast high-octane attributes, his intelligence, mobility and starting experience give him an edge if called upon in a pinch. With Trevor Lawrence adjusting to the professional game, Beathard owns the experience to contribute in the QB room but not threaten the rookie who might go through some ups and downs, especially early in the season.
