Earlier before the preseason began, my mouth began running off and I started to predict who would become starters, who would star for the 49ers, and who would suck so bad, that when the player is on the field, it would be bathroom trips for the fans.

And before I give the double whammy, other fellow NinersNations commentors and fans shot back at me with "what do I know about 49er football" when I made my predictions.

I predicted that O'Sullivan would have a strong chance of being named the 49ers' starting quarterback, even though I had stated a couple of times that it was Alex Smith's job to lose. I favored O'Sullivan from the very beginning, and from the media, it sounds like O'Sullivan is a front-runner to start in the 2008 NFL season. Nolan is playing "I dunno yet," but in reality he knows who will be the starter. He has to keep the quarterbacks in the dark in order to keep them on the competitive level and to be fair to all three starting quarterback candidates.

I even declared that Rossum, the kick returner, would be a boost for the 49ers, I kept raving on how fast he is and that his speed would be an upgrade to the 49ers. Several people retorted back to me, that speed doesn't make the player as good as those who know what they are doing on the field, and that game speed is different from clocked speed. But I knew, my friends..Rossum bolted to the end zone for a touchdown in a beautiful, spinning manner, just as I predicted. Track stars can do that as long they can follow the lead of the blockers. It's all about seeing the field. Rossum is both extremely fast, he can see the blocking and the holes created for him. I am really excited to have Rossum on our roster this year, barring injury.

I also mentioned the Martz offense and the importance of understanding the offense. After the Niner victory over the Packers, it is apparent that the offensive players are beginning to grasp the Martz offense and taking advantage of the opportunities it creates. I have goosebumps not only on my arms, but on my balls too.

And oh the defense! We don't have to moan waiting for the defense to get back on the field, we can eat our popcorn watching both the offense and the defense shine!

What I mean by double whammy, I am going to continue making predictions, and those predictions will come true. If Smith gets the starting nod over O'Sullivan to begin the season with, it's only because it was Smith's job to lose and because of his game management skills, Smith is capable of moving the offensive team down the field.

O'Sullivan is a playmaker. If Nolan sees him as giving the team the best chance to win as a playmaker, he'll win the starting quarterback's job. That is what Smith needs to do, put points on the board with his throws.

Or the backfield has to do it for Smith. If Smith can help run up the score by both throwing and handing off the ball, it will be a double whammy for the opposing defenses.

Which is exactly what I want. And currently, O'Sullivan is the one making the plays.

And delivering the double whammy.
