ESPN just reported on NFL Live that J.T. O’Sullivan is the leading candidate for the starting quarterback position.  That means O’Sullivan went from third string all the way to first string this quick in camp.  Did he have that good of a camp or did Alex Smith and Shaun Smith just suck that badly?

This comes as a shock to me but if O’Sullivan is playing that much better then Smith, then by all means give him the chance to show what he can do.  Who cares how much the 49ers are spending on Smith start the best player.  Mike Martz says that O’Sullivan knows the offense better then the other two qb’s at this point and that he will continue getting more reps with the number one offense.

So what is your take on all of this niner fans?  Smith or O’Sullivan?

Whats going on 49ers fans? You are all probably wondering where in the hell we have been lol!  Well we have been extremely busy blogging about baseball teams and keeping up on older projects.  It is about time for us to turn more of our attention to our beloved 49ers however.

Training camp has been going on for a little longer then a week now.  Alex Smith has been throwing a ton of balls early in the training camp and was given today off (Friday) to rest his arm a little bit and just give him a breather.  Shaun Hill and J.T. O’Sullivan were the two qb’s that took part in Friday’s practices.  Smith is the front runner but don’t be suprised if he is quickly pulled in favor of Hill in my opinion.

It has also been mentioned that the 49ers defense will not change as far as personnel if they are running a 3-4 or a 4-3 defense.  Justin Smith and Ray McDonald will basically just swap positions out depending on what formation the defense will be running.

I will try to have another update during the middle of next week about how training camp is going.  While I’m away, leave a comment and let us know what you expect out of the niners this season!
