Our 2008 San Francisco 49er Starting Quarterback, J.T. O'Sullivan, yes that's right people you read this right I did type "starting qb". J.T. took the long way to get to the San Francisco Bay Area to end up trying to right a ship that, like the Titanic, hit a snag and pretty much went down. What I find really very odd is that J.T. was born in Burbank, CA, went to college at California at Davis and has been through 6 teams before finally landing with the coach and system he knows well and is comfortable in right in the middle area of the state of California. Through training camp and 3 preseason games he has consistently proved that he deserves to be the starter with our $50 million dollar baby as back up, how many of us wish we could hold a clipboard for that much money. Yes, I'm sure Nolan and the rest of the 49er organization knows they fucked up and fucked up badly but taking Smith as the #1 pick when it was clear to more then a few football gurus and fans alike that this was never going to work out and that Alex Smith wasn't the right fit for the San Francisco 49ers. Now I'm not by any means trying to say that J.T. will take us to the promise land or even that we'll sniff the play-offs but as of right now he seems to me at least to have enough command of the playbook to at least not look like a complete and utter moron out there. I'm curious to see him with the whole starting team around him and see where it takes us. To be honest I was not looking forward to the start of our season because I didn't want to see Smith as our QB again looking like a deer caught in headlights, so J.T. at least gives me a couple more weeks of hope before the light is very bright or dims and fades again and we end up with the #1 pick in the draft next year. We all know that Coach Nolan and Coach Martz are hoping that J.T. can help them out of a very big hole that Mike Nolan had dug for all the staff and the weight of the 49er organization is going to be put on a 6'2" 229 lbs. 28 year old quarterback who's been bounced around from the Saints to the Packers to the Vikings to the Patriots to the Panthers to now come back where his life started in sunny California.....Good luck J.T. you're going to need it!!!
