Also a good point, but McCarron could be in the same boat based on his arbitration hearing. You'd have to assume the 49ers were willing to give that up for Garropolo with intentions of signing him to a new contract in the offseason, not let him walk for a comp pick. It's not like the 49ers were in contention or anything to need a QB for the remainder of this season that would make or break the season.
