49ers Choose O’Sullivan Over Smith

The San Francisco 49ers have choose J.T. O'Sullivan as their QB to start the 2008 season. O'Sullivan was a backup in Detroit so he was already familiar with Mike Martz's offense.

Things haven't been rosey for Alex Smith since being the No. 1 pick in the 2005 NFL draft. The Niners haven't been that good and unfortunalty some of that rests on the shoulder of Smith. I also think Mike Nolan is worried about his job for next year. He needs a good season from the team this year so keep his job next year and he believes O'Sullivan will give him that chance,

With Smith being a backup this brings up something interesting.  At the start of the 2008 season there will be No. 1 overall picks working as backup quarterbacks, Alex Smith with the 49ers and David Carr with the New York Giants. Not to mention the 2001 No.1 overall pick Michael Vick.

    The 49ers have selected J.T. O’Sullivan as their 2008 starting QB. Hopefully this will boost the production of the offense. When I say offense I mean Gore. His numbers last year were somewhat mediocre….
