Bono analyzed Garoppolo’s performance: “Even in situations where it looked like he was confused he made a play or he kept it from being a negative. He was decisive and he let it rip. He made the receivers better…He made a difference.”

Every Tuesday during the NFL season we chat with Former 49ers QB Steve Bono. Today we talk about the 49ers loss to the Seahawks and the three play, SF debut for QB Jimmy Garoppolo.
Bono spent 14 seasons in the NFL. He had a 5-1 record in his 6 Niners starts and finished his career 28-14 overall.
After hearing 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan tell the media that Jimmy Garoppolo’s three plays at the end of the Seahawks game have “no bearing” on his starting QB decision for the Bears game, The Sports Virus and Steve Bono reacted. THE SPORTS VIRUS: “You’ve got to be kidding me, those three plays have to have a bearing.” STEVE BONO: “No question they have a bearing. He came in, in not an easy situation for anyone and made three positive plays in a row, one a very nice throw…to his left, reset his feet and throw a missile in there. They definitely mean something. Actually I think they mean a lot .”

Every Tuesday during the NFL season we chat with Former 49ers QB Steve Bono. Today we talk about the 49ers first win of the season against the New York Giants and look ahead to which SF QB will be under center when the season resumes during week 12 against the Seahawks following a bye.
Bono spent 14 seasons in the NFL. He had a 5-1 record in his 6 Niners starts and finished his career 28-14 overall.
Bono talked to The Sports Virus about who deserves to be the 49ers starting QB against the Seahawks: “It’s going to be hard for them to sit (C.J. Beathard) down in two weeks. He’s earned it. I’m sure there will be a lot of time spent by Kyle (Shanahan), sleepless nights, trying to figure out is (Jimmy) Garoppolo ready? If there’s any doubt, if I were Shanahan then I would be playing C.J., because he’s earned the right to continue being the starter.”

Every Tuesday during the NFL season we chat with Former 49ers QB Steve Bono. Today we talk about the 49ers loss to the Cardinals and discuss the right time to play new QB Jimmy Garoppolo.
Bono spent 14 seasons in the NFL. He had a 5-1 record in his 6 Niners starts and finished his career 28-14 overall.
Bono talked to The Sports Virus about whether or not newcomer Jimmy Garoppolo should start at QB this week against the Giants: “No, no. You’re tempted, you want to, but the quarterback is not the problem right now. The protection is the first problem. We’ve got to be able to run the ball better. We’ve got to take the pressure off the quarterback and make the movement, play-action game better.”

Every Tuesday during the NFL season we chat with Former 49ers QB Steve Bono. Today we talk about the 49ers loss to the Eagles and analyze the acquisition of QB Jimmy Garoppolo.
Bono spent 14 seasons in the NFL. He had a 5-1 record in his 6 Niners starts and finished his career 28-14 overall.
Bono talked to The Sports Virus about Jimmy Garoppolo joining the 49ers: “All of a sudden he’s looking in the mirror like, now I’m the man, I’m the guy…I’ve been through it. (In Kansas City) Joe (Montana) had retired and I became the starter and I hadn’t thought about having the weight of that organization and that fan base and that city be on my shoulders and maybe I handled it wrong, that I was conscious of that. I never asked anybody and that’s probably my mistake.”

Every Tuesday during the NFL season we chat with Former 49ers QB Steve Bono. Today we talk about the 49ers loss to the Cowboys and the halftime tribute to Dwight Clark.
Bono spent 14 seasons in the NFL. He had a 5-1 record in his 6 Niners starts and finished his career 28-14 overall.
Bono talked to The Sports Virus about Dwight Clark and “The Catch”: “When Joe (Montana) goes to the sideline and Bill (Walsh) tells him, ‘Remember, you’re going to have Freddie (Solomon) right away’ on the two-step out route. So, Joe comes out looking for him, but Freddie slips…If you watch Joe, he brings it back to throw it and doesn’t have it so he keeps going…Dwight’s route is exactly the way that Bill had always drawn it up. So, Dwight does exactly what he’s supposed to do.”

Every Tuesday during the NFL season we chat with Former 49ers QB Steve Bono. Today we talk about the 49ers loss in Washington that dropped San Francisco’s record to 0-6.
Bono spent 14 seasons in the NFL. He had a 5-1 record in his 6 Niners starts and finished his career 28-14 overall.
Bono talked to The Sports Virus about the performance of rookie QB CJ Beathard, who made his debut in D.C.: “I think guys all of a sudden went ok, we’ve got a new quarterback in, he’s never played, we have to do our jobs better and I think that everybody did…He made some mistakes, but that’s gonna happen. They’re willing to live with that now is my guess. I don’t think Brian Hoyer will see the field again unless Beathard gets hurt. You’re playing for the future now.”

Every Tuesday during the NFL season we chat with Former 49ers QB Steve Bono. Today we talk about the 49ers OT loss to the Colts that dropped San Francisco’s record to 0-5.
Bono spent 14 seasons in the NFL. He had a 5-1 record in his 6 Niners starts and finished his career 28-14 overall.
Bono talked to The Sports Virus about RB Matt Breida getting more rushing attempts than Carlos Hyde in the Colts game: “I don’t see anything wrong with them using both backs. I think Carlos is doing fine, especially early in the season I thought he was running the ball well. They just seem to have gone away from running the ball…There’s just a bit of hesitancy there right now (with Hyde) and maybe the holes he’s just not seeing them well or they’re not there. Even though the Niners have been throwing the ball, it just seems like people are still stacking the box.”

Every Tuesday during the NFL season we chat with Former 49ers QB Steve Bono. Today we talk about the 49ers OT loss to the Cardinals that dropped San Francisco’s record to 0-4.
Bono spent 14 seasons in the NFL. He had a 5-1 record in his 6 Niners starts and finished his career 28-14 overall.
Bono talked to The Sports Virus about QB Brian Hoyer and his receivers: “They’re not in sync…In the beginning I thought it was receivers getting manhandled and then there were a few drops and then I kinda thought Hoyer is not getting them the ball. His timing seemed a little off. In my mind I was thinking, ok he’s getting pressure. But, this weekend there were bad throws, there were bad routes, there were dropped balls. There’s no timing. There’s no rhythm to them.”

Every Tuesday during the NFL season we chat with Former 49ers QB Steve Bono. Today we talk about the 49ers loss to the Rams that dropped San Francisco’s record to 0-3. We also discuss the league-wide national anthem protests during week 3.
Bono spent 14 seasons in the NFL. He had a 5-1 record in his 6 Niners starts and finished his career 28-14 overall.
Bono talked to The Sports Virus about the NFL-wide national anthem protests during week 3. The kneeling all started last season with former Niners QB Colin Kaepernick being joined by S Eric Reid: “It seems to have come to be just about what are people going to do now during the national anthem? Why are we doing this? Why are we taking a knee? I like the fact that teams at least seemed to have talked about it…I don’t necessarily like that they’re kneeling down, that’s their prerogative, but I do like that teams agreed that this is what we’re going to do as a team. I would prefer that everybody stood for the national anthem and that they all stood there with arms locked. That’s great, that’s showing solidarity to me…It seems to me now that this would be something to do to make a statement, but what are we making a statement about?”
Bono made his opinion clear about Colin Kaepernick’s chances of returning to the NFL: “I don’t think Colin wanted to play last year and I don’t think he wants to play now. Has anybody ever heard him come out and say that he wants to play, that he’s actively tying to pursue a position somewhere?”
And, looking ahead to week 4, Bono speculated about possible scenarios for the 49ers anthem plans in Phoenix: “It will be interesting to see. If they all kneel, then I would say that we know Eric Reid is the leader because he was kneeling with Colin last year. If they all stand, then somebody else is leading them.”
