Joe Montana San Francisco 49ers Throwback Jerseys On Sale

It can be argued that Joe Montana is one of the greatest quarterbacks to play in the NFL.  He played 14 of his 16 year career for the San Francisco 49ers where he won four Super Bowls.  With all of Montana's achievements he may be best known for being on the passing end of "The Catch."  A game wining touchdown pass to Dwight Clark in the 1981 NFC Championship game against the Dallas Cowboys.  The Montana to Rice combination was a staple of Bay Area sports during the 90s.  In 2000 Montana was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  Not only was he a popular player for the 49ers but he was a great college quarterback with Notre Dame, where he help lead them to the 1978 National Championship.

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.
