QB Competition: Who will become the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Starter?
"Our plan [for Rookie QB Josh Freeman] would really be to compete with the four quarterbacks we take to camp, and let his talent show. I understand he’s 21. I’ve seen it where it helps if they sit. I saw last year where the guys played themselves onto the football field, but I do realize he’s a...
2009 49ers Season truly under way: Voluntary Minicamp #1
First off, apologies for not having a post up earlier. My AU Eagles took a big 14 lead early in the second half against Villanova and managed to blow it late to lose by 13. Villanova is a good team but it's still a kick in the junk. As much as I love the 49ers, if AU had pulled off the upset, it...
49ers officially name J.T. O'Sullivan the starting QB
In the least shocking announcement in recent memory, Mike Nolan officially named J.T. O'Sullivan the starting QB for the 49ers regular season opener against Arizona. A month ago this would obviously have taken all of us by surprise. J.T. O'Sullivan came into camp as the #3 and in fact seemed...
49ers 34 - Packers 6: Well then....
We'll have plenty of 49ers-Packers recap coverage in the next few days, but for this evening I wanted to get some quick observations down. It's been quite some time since the 49ers took care of business in this kind of fashion. There was some good, there was some bad and there is certainly still...

EDITOR'S NOTE 10:40AM: Nolan acknowledged what he has made obvious: J.T. O'Sullivan is leading the QB race. Well this is certainly getting rather interesting. After starting the preseason opener against the Oakland Raiders, J.T. O'Sullivan has worked with the first team in every practice since. ...
49ers-Raiders: Measurements of success
We've finally reached our first game day of the year, even if it is just the first exhibition game. As it is the preseason, measurements of success are quite different from the regular season. In fact, one could argue that the measurements of success are different from the first preseason game...
49ers QB Situation: The Third Rail of 49ers discussions
What's the third rail you ask? Well, for those who don't know it's the electric rail on the subway system you don't wanna be touching. At election time, there is often talk of how social security is the "third rail of American politics." It's the topic that has to be discussed, but it's also a...
J.T. O'Sullivan to start Friday: Let the wild speculation begin
Well then. J.T. O'Sullivan will be getting the reps this Friday with the first team offense. According to Mike Nolan he'll play between a quarter and a quarter and a half. Alex Smith will then play into the beginning of the third quarter and Shaun Hill will close out the game. Nolan emphasized...
49ers Training Camp: So J.T. O'Sullivan is in the starting mix. Or, maybe he is not.
Mike Nolan quotations: "Shaun Hill is resting his shoulder. So since it was his turn to work with the first group, that’s why J.T. O’Sullivan worked with the first group. Because if he’s going to replace somebody’s repetitions, in fairness that’s what you do. And it...
2008 49ers Training Camp: Day 1 Quotes (Mike Nolan, Alex Smith, Shaun Hill)
The 49ers have been so kind as to provide press conference Q&As on their media website. While they'll certainly have a fair number of the usual cliches, we're bound to find some useful information if we dig deep enough. If people are interested I'll make this a running feature when I can get...
