Nerdy Football Analysis: With Tom Brady showing no drop-off and wanting to play multiple years beyond 2017, it didn’t make a lot of sense for the Patriots to franchise Garoppolo. On the 49ers’ side, they hope he can be the “franchise quarterback” they have lacked for what seems like a generation. Expect Garoppolo to sit for a week or two as he learns enough of the playbook to not embarrass himself. It now appears as if the Kirk Cousins’ free-agent tour will not include a trip to the bay area next spring.
