49ers owner hit the wall when his quarterback fell – ProFootballTalk

Quarterback Jimmy Garappolo tore his ACL in the third week.

For 49ed Jed York, the pain was real, but in a different place.

Via Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay AreaYork said he was so distraught when Garoppolo crashed against the leaders that he hit a wall nearby.

Like the rest of their season, he landed in the wrong place.

"I'm glad I did not participate in the IR," said York. "I was close to Kansas City. I thought I was broken wrist in Kansas City when I learned that he had torn his ACL. . . .

"It was a good punch. Unfortunately, it was a stud farm. You must find the wall dry. This is the key. It is so much better to make a hole in the wall rather than find the stud. "

While losing Garoppolo and halfback Jerrick McKinnon in a torn LCA before the start of the season, which torpedoed the 49ers' season, York was trying to be optimistic, now that both are ready for training camp. .

"I think our guys have shown a great willingness and a hard spirit," York said. "They are able to fight through these things. This allows you to strengthen the character of your team and hope it will serve us well into the future. "

Maybe York will choose his fights more carefully next time as well.
