Niners News and Notes and Story Links
An outstanding article here by Mark Kreidler on whether or not Alex Smith should be labeled a bust. J.T. O’Sullivan has had it rough trying to become a starting quarterback. Ashley Lelie is among the 49ers on the cut bubble. Good news as David Baas returned for his first practice of the calendar year.
O’Sullivan Impressive Again as Niners Beat Bears 37-30

O’Sullivan is if anything else making the race for the San Francisco 49ers‘ quarterback job competitive; he had an impressive performance on Saturday as he led the 49ers on consecutive touchdown drives, leading the 49ers to an impressive 34-6 thrashing of the Green Bay Packers in San Francisco. O’Sullivan led the 49ers on consecutive [...]
O’Sullivan Finally Gets the Call to Start for Niners
Mike Nolan has been almost annoyingly objective when it has come to evaluating the starting quarterback position. He has tried to express fairness in determining which of three QBs – Alex Smith, Shaun Hill or J.T. O’Sullivan – will lead the offense in Week 1. Now, though, it seems Nolan could be coming to a [...]
