Feels like Shanny has to go with Beathard in the second half purely on principle alone at this point. The receivers have been getting open all day only for Mullens to either throw some epically bad balls and/or lose all confidence in his arm strength and refuse to throw the ball before the Washington d-line gets to him.

Option 3; on the rare decent pass, Hands Bourne drops his 7th ball of the night.

But he isn’t THAT much better. Statue-esque JimmyG would also be eaten alive by this defense while overthrowing guys and having his good balls clang off Bourne’s hands.
100% certainly not good enough to justify a 27 million dollar price tag.
Can't be too hard on them for losing to a team who is in first place team in their division

Feels like they’ll beat the Cowboys depending on who gets injured over the next week. 6-10’s probably more realistic.
Won't forget Jackson's rookie year the Chargers playoff game, the Chargers neutralized his play, putting in extra DBs......the main way to contain speed is with speed. As good as Jackson is running, its always more efficient to pass the ball.
On the draft
Even going 5-11, the 49ers will probably still land around 8-11. It's tempting to take a QB first, but there could be a consensus top player at a different position. They could use their 2nd round pick on a QB. A top cornerback, safety, or O-Line would be good too. Garoppolo is not an elite level QB, and is overpaid. He had his chance last year in the Superbowl and failed - missed the big throw. He's certainly better than Mullins though, who isn't even backup quality.

Or really just anyone capable of passing the ball more than ten yards down the field

That seems to potentially be a COVID issue more than a tanking one
