Brian Hoyer has a glamorous job (NFL quarterback) and an enviable income (he's guaranteed $7 million in 2017). Still, the poor guy. Hoyer, 31, is the unquestioned starter as the 49ers begin their rebuilding project, but only his relatives think he'll have the same role next season.

Yes, much like Steve DeBerg was Bill Walsh's first starting quarterback, Hoyer will be Kyle Shanahan's … until the 49ers try to upgrade from Ford to Ferrari next the spring.
49ers QB Hoyer ready to prove doubters wrong, again
