Emergency QB for Week 13
QBJacksonville Jaguars
Coach's Decision
December 1, 2024
Beathard (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Beathard served as the Jaguars' backup quarterback for the last two games behind Mac Jones due to Trevor Lawrence being sidelined with an AC joint sprain in his non-throwing shoulder. However, with Lawrence returning Sunday, Jones will be the No. 2 quarterback while Beathard serves in an emergency role. As the emergency quarterback, Beathard would only see the field if both Lawrence and Jones were to be knocked out of the game due to injury.

2017
Beathard spent the past two seasons as Jacksonville's backup quarterback, and he'll be back again for 2023 after he inked a two-year, $4.5 million extension during the offseason. He's appeared in six games for the Jaguars and has completed nine of 13 passes with no touchdowns and one interception. Trevor Lawrence took a major step forward in his sophomore campaign and is entrenched as the starter, with the only other quarterback on the roster being Nathan Rourke, who last played in the CFL. Beathard's role as Lawrence's primary backup is safe.
The 28-year-old joined the Jaguars on a two-year deal in March of 2021 and attempted only two passes while serving as the team's backup quarterback. Trevor Lawrence endured a difficult rookie campaign but remains the clear starter, so Beathard is poised to fill the same role in 2022, assuming they both remain healthy. 2020 sixth-round pick Jake Luton and rookie UDFA EJ Perry are the only other quarterbacks on Jacksonville's roster in the wake of the 2022 NFL Draft, leaving Beathard with plenty of job security.
A third-round pick of the 49ers in 2017, Beathard appeared in 19 games (12 starts over the past four seasons) before reaching a two-year, $5 million deal with the Jaguars this offseason. While No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence is set to immediately take the reins of Jacksonville's offense, holdover Gardner Minshew remains a prime trade candidate. The 27-year-old Beathard started two games for San Francisco in 2020, in the process completing 38 of 59 passes for 455 yards with four touchdowns and zero interceptions, also rushing six times for 28 yards while losing two fumbles. Beathard is poised for backup duties with the Jaguars as long as Lawrence remains healthy.
The 49ers retained Beathard as a third quarterback on the 53-man roster even with the triumphant return of starter Jimmy Garoppolo and breakout backup Nick Mullens. The 26-year-old unsurprisingly did not see the field with both signal callers ahead of him on the depth chart staying healthy all year. Beathard will enter the final year of his rookie contract in the same situation as 2019, sitting at third on the QB depth chart, assuming the team does not move him.
Beathard received his second opportunity to start after Jimmy Garoppolo went down with a torn ACL in Week 3. The 25-year-old had slightly improved results compared to his trial by fire in 2017, completing 60 percent of his passes for 1,252 passing yards, eight touchdowns and seven interceptions over five starts. Beathard's league-average production did not result in a victory, so rookie Nick Mullens took over and remained the starter for the remainder of the year with more dynamic results statistically and in the win-loss column. Coach Kyle Shanahan stated that the two signal-callers will compete for Garoppolo's backup slot, but Beathard figures to have the bigger hill to climb based on last year's results.
Beathard was expected to be Kyle Shanahan's project quarterback of the future after he was taken in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. The 23-year-old didn't necessarily perform poorly when pressed into action in October - 1,430 yards on 55 percent passing in seven games - but his projection quickly changed to "backup" once the team acquired Jimmy Garoppolo in a trade from New England. The night-and-day difference in San Francisco's offense after Jimmy G took over indicates that there will be no QB controversy heading into the 2018 season.
The 49ers used their top draft picks on improving a shaky defense, opting to go with a project quarterback in Beathard with their third-round pick. The senior out of Iowa didn't put up eye-popping numbers in the Big Ten last season (1,929 yards, 17 TD, 10 INT), but he was limited by a lack of receiving options (55.9 completion percentage compared to 73.5 adjusted completion percentage in 2016) and a porous offensive line (58 sacks in two years as starter). The 23-year-old's transition to the NFL will benefit from his accuracy on short and medium throws combined with his experience playing in a pro-style offense. The 49ers already announced that Beathard will not compete for the starting quarterback job this season, allowing the team to develop the young arm behind the scenes until he is deemed ready.

Beathard had a tryout with the Giants on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Daniel Jones has played better the last two weeks, but the Giants may be uncomfortable with their depth at quarterback behind a very shaky starter. Beathard was in training camp with the Jaguars this year but suffered a groin injury that caused him to be released with an injury settlement. Assuming he's now healthy, the 30-year-old could provide an experienced backup option for a team.
