Peter Schrager of FOX Sports reported on Twitter that there is a rumor that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Seneca Wallace may be retiring. Apparently, he is not warming up for tonight's game against the Chargers in San Diego. This was retweeted by Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle.
The 49ers signed Wallace on August 22. If true, this would leave Colt McCoy and B.J. Daniels as the team's backup quarterbacks behind Colin Kaepernick for the season. On Monday, the 49ers released quarterback Scott Tolzien.
Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area is reporting that Wallace did not make the trip to San Diego "for personal reasons."
The FOX broadcast caught San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan heading over to a seated Jimmy Garoppolo after the quarterback threw an early interception against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The Niners ended up winning the game 34-26, but mistakes like the pick have led to criticisms from fans, especially considering the Vikings scored off the turnover.
Garoppolo was asked about the sideline conversation with Shanahan and if his coach was "pissed off" about the costly mistake.
"Naturally. It wasn't a good decision," Garoppolo responded. "I've got to be better than that with it. Just take the check-down. They were giving those to us early, and I just need to be more efficient with those."
Shanahan was also asked about the sideline
