By John Crumpacker Offense RATING: (POLITE APPLAUSE) It was a split season at quarterback as error-prone J.T. O'Sullivan gave way to Shaun Hill. The team played much better under Hill in the second half of the season with an emphasis on ball control and fewer high-risk passes....

By Ryan Wilson Of course, maybe Nolan would still have the job if he had the cajones to tell offensive coordinator Mike Martz, "I know you're an 'offensive mastermind' and whatnot, but I'm pretty sure that J.T. O'Sullivan isn't very good. Call it a hunch. I'll take my chances with Shaun Hill."

By Ryan Wilson Dilfer has now refocused his energies on the 49ers, an outfit in worse shape than the Browns who are also making a quarterback change this week. J.T. O'Sullivan is, thankfully, on the bench, and Shaun Hill, the guy who was supposedly in line for the job in training camp, will finally get his sho...

By Tom Herrera Well, what do we have here? Bengals stand-in Ryan Fitzpatrick has averaged a pathetic 4.6 yards on 103 passes to rank dead last in the NFL among quarterbacks with at least 100 throws. John Thomas O'Sullivan is coming off a head-shakingly horrible game where he was sacked six times and fumble...

By Adam Gretz San Francisco is still in contention for the NFC West title, but that's mainly by default due to the NFC West currently being the NFL's answer to the Sun Belt Conference. Would Kitna be an upgrade over J.T. O'Sullivan? Maybe. But that would certainly make Martz look kind of silly, seeing as how h...

By Adam Gretz Later in the quarter, Joe Nedney booted a 29-yard field pushing the San Francisco lead to nine points. Things looked good for the 49ers ... until the fourth quarter started. At that point, the Eagles took over, while 49ers quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan turned into a one-man turnover machine in the...

By Samuel Lam There have been talks recently about the 49ers receivers and how they aren’t on the same page with J.T. O’Sullivan. In fact, the suggestion of bringing in Lions WR Roy Williams may solve the problem. He’s a big explosive guy. He knows the system and he has the ability to be that big player that the t...

By John Crumpacker Offense RATING: (SNOOZING VIEWER) With a terrible time of possession differential, the 49ers were not able to do much after the first quarter. J.T. O'Sullivan looked sharp in throwing three touchdown passes, but he was constantly harried after that. The 49ers...

By undisclosed@pressdemocrat.com (49ers) And here's how J.T. O'Sullivan did against the Patriots' pass rush: From the pages of Monday's Press Democrat . . . "Patriots play keep away, overwhelm 49ers" and "Niners retire Steve Young's No. 8." And, there's also the Q&A with Steve Young at the Cohn Zohn.

By Adam Gretz 49ers Quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan threw two touchdowns in the first quarter -- one to Frank Gore, the other to Isaac Bruce -- giving San Francisco a pair of seven point leads, only to see the Patriots quickly respond and erase each deficit.

By undisclosed@pressdemocrat.com (49ers) Here's what coach Mike Nolan had to say about the defense: J.T. O'Sullivan had his second bad game in a row. He completed just 14 of 29 passes for 130 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions. O'Sullivan did a better job of avoiding sacks, however. Wide receiver/tight end: C-minus

By Samuel Lam The 49ers have given up a total of 19 sacks in their first four games. And with a Patriots defense that can disguise blitz packages, it may be a tough day for the 49ers. T Jonas Jennings is still ruled out for this game, so the protection for QB J.T. O’Sullivan will be the main focal point of the offen...

By Samuel Lam It’s a tough Patriots defense that would love to add to the 49ers sack total. How can O’Sullivan and the offensive line handle this? A few screen plays or quick slant patterns. In a complex offense, sometimes a simple attack may be enough to keep O’Sullivan off the turf. The 49ers have given up 1...

By undisclosed@pressdemocrat.com (49ers) Detroit quarterback Jon Kitna said he was not surprised that J.T. O'Sullivan and offensive coordinator Mike Martz is doing wonders for the 49ers. O'Sullivan was Kitna's backup last season with the Lions, while Martz was his coordinator.

By undisclosed@pressdemocrat.com (49ers) Pass protection vs. the Lions defensive front: The 49ers struggled with crowd noise and a very aggressive Seahawks front-seven last week. This is a game in which they should be able to keep QB J.T. O'Sullivan clean. It starts with LT Joe Staley vs. RDE Dewayne White, who has recorded the Lions' on...

By undisclosed@pressdemocrat.com (49ers) This just in: Neither Seattle S Brian Russell nor Goldson was fined for unnecessary hits from last week's game. Nolan was upset that Russell hit J.T. O'Sullivan at the end of a slide. Goldson had a low hit on Seattle WR Logan Payne that resulted in a season-ending knee injury.

By Benny Evangelista San Francisco 49ers quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan looked quite relaxed this week after leading his team to the win at Seattle, beat writer Tom FitzGerald says in his weekly Niners...

By undisclosed@pressdemocrat.com (49ers) Martin appears likely to be signed if Smith is placed on IR. It goes to show how much influence Mike Martz has with the 49ers. Because of Martz, the 49ers signed J.T. O'Sullivan and Isaac Bruce. Martz also OK'd the team's decision to draft guard Chilo Rachal over receiver Limas Sweed in the second...

By Samuel Lam There’s a reason why Mike Martz believes in him. There’s a reason why Mike Nolan is sticking with him. There’s a reason why I want him to succeed. Martz and Nolan have that confidence in him because they’ve seen what he can do. I just believe in him because I feel that he can lead this team.

By undisclosed@pressdemocrat.com (49ers) Nolan said he has confidence in the team's structure to offer support to Brooks, too, including vice president of football affairs Keena Turner, Rev. Earl Smith, Dr. Harry Edwards and team medical director Dr. Dan Garza. QB: J.T. O'Sullivan over Alex Smith and Shaun Hill.

By Samuel Lam Vic Carucci: When Mike Nolan was asked for the biggest reason the 49ers would be better than last year’s 5-11 team, he promptly pointed to the hiring of offensive coordinator Mike Martz. If that’s true, J.T. O’Sullivan, whom Martz coached in Detroit last season, must have a big year. Predicti...

By undisclosed@pressdemocrat.com (49ers) That quote seemed to fit, considering Nolan praised J.T. O'Sullivan in the first sentence as clearly winning the starting job over Smith and Shaun Hill. Just wrote an article for tomorrow's newspaper on long-shot running back Thomas Clayton, who is "making the most of his chances."

By undisclosed@pressdemocrat.com (49ers) The roles have been defined for the 49ers' three quarterbacks: J.T. O'Sullivan, Alex Smith and Shaun Hill. Coach Mike Nolan delivered the news Friday that O'Sullivan is scheduled to make his first NFL regular-season start on Sept. 7 against the Cardinals.

By undisclosed@pressdemocrat.com (49ers) J.T. O'Sullivan is starter going into the regular season, 49ers coach Mike Nolan announced on conference call with reporters this afternoon. Nolan said he still has a lot of confidence in Alex Smith and Shaun Hill. Smith will be the backup and Hill will be the No. 3 QB. QB COMPARISON

By Adam Gretz Even though San Francisco 49ers' Head Coach Mike Nolan won't yet announce it, the competition for the teams starting quarterback position appears to be all but over. If the fact J.T. O'Sullivan started the third preseason game (considered to be the most meaningful of the meaningless games...

By Signal to Noise 3) San Francisco 49ers - When J.T. O'Sullivan has the inside track to be your starting QB, you've got problems. Mike Nolan should be fired after the season is done, when Mike Martz has burned through O'Sullivan, Alex Smith, and Shaun Hill in futile attempts to run his high-octane offense with...

By Samuel Lam I would think Smith would get more reps, but I bet O’Sullivan’s familiarity with Martz’s system (they worked together back in Detroit) gives him that slight edge. So if this is the case, all cases point to JTO as the leader of the offense.

By Samuel Lam Mike Nolan has named J.T. O’Sullivan the starter under center for Friday’s preseason game against the Raiders. Well, that just takes a whole lot of speculation into the mix. Well, Nolan claimed that it was because he was so familiar with Alex Smith and Shaun Hill that he wanted to test out ol’ “S...
