49er's Fans who do you think will be your starting quarterback this year?

Question

Also is it possible Alex Smith may be the worst ever 1st pick of the draft? Want to hear from 49er fans?

Answer 1

It has been reported that JT O'Sullivan will be the starting QB!

Answer 2

they say that JT sullivan will be the starter this season he's been doing well this preseason and he will help the 49ers too a good record ( hopefully playoffs)

Answer 3

JT is the starter.  Good luck with that...

Answer 4

JTO is the announced starter. and no i do not believe smith is the worst #1 pick because he has never been given a chance to succeed, ever. you tell me how fair it is to have 4 different offensive coordinators in your first 4 years in the nfl. it's different if youre a veteran and have 4 different OCs but it is not fair if youre a rookie dealing with a new coach every year. not only that, but when smith was selected, that 9er team had NOTHING. no defense, no receivers, and no lines. as you saw in his 2nd year he went from 1 TD and 11 INTs to 16 TDs and 16 INTs. not great but yet he showed improvement under norv turner. then he left and smith was left with a joke of an OC in hostler. he then got hurt in week 3 and any games after that shouldnt have counted against him since he was playing when he shouldnt have been. i am one of the few smith supporters out there because i really believe he can be a good QB. he has the smarts and athleticism to do so. just give him time in a system that wont change in the next few years and he should be OK. urban meyer who coached smith at utah said that smith is the kind of guy who needs to know what is going on. who will be where and when. he needs to know everything in the offense before he is comfortable. thats why he has never been able to succeed since the 9ers keep getting new receivers and coaches for him. there is no continuity and no chemistry. no QB can be successful under such adverse conditions. i know he wont be peyton manning or tom brady but i do believe he can be like jeff garcia.

Answer 5

It has already been decided that J.T. O'Sullivan will be the starter of the 49ers.  He has looked really good in preseason.  A lot has to do with J.T. having 1 year under Martz when he was on the Lions.  Alex Smith has yet to grasp the Martz playbook.  His timing has been off and he keeps throwing behind the WRs.  I am hoping that Martz can make undrafted J.T. into a stud like he did with undrafted CFL player Kurt Warner (Greatest Show On Turf years).  Martz also did well developing Trent Green, Marc Bulger, and Jon Kitna.  Smith needs more time to learn the complicated playbook where timing and precision is everything.  For the most part, I am happy with their choice in J.T.  He looked better of all 3 Qbs that competed.

Is he the worst ever # 1 draft QB?  No, but he is getting there.

Ryan Leaf - #2 - San Diego Chargers - Washington State (3 years)

48.4%, 3,666 yards, 14 TDs, 36 INTs

Heath Shuler - #4 - Washington Redskins (4 years)

49.2%, 3691 yds, 15 TDs, 33 INTs

Tim Couch - #1 - Cleveland Browns - Kentucky (5 years)

59.8%, 11,131 yards, 64 TDs, 67 INTs

Akili Smith - #3 - Cincinnati Bengals - Oregon (4 years)

46.6%, 2,212 yards, 5 TDs, 13 INTs

David Carr - #1 - Houston Texans - Fresno State (6 years and counting)

59.7%, 14,026 yards, 62 TDs, 70 INTs

Joey Harrington - #3 - Detroit Lions - Oregon (6 years and counting)

56.1%, 14,693 yards, 79 TDs, 85 INTs

These are all 1st round pick busts for QBs.  Alex Smith will be joining this list very soon.  However, not his fault.  He has had way too many OC working with him.

Thumbs up to those who agree.

Answer 6

49er's still suck anyway they are not going anywhere

Answer 7

It has been officially reported that the starting QB for the 49ers will be JT Sullivan. He did well in the preseason while Smith and Hill did poor. If Sullivan gives us a chance to win and plays decent, Im fine with it even though he is not the 1 to lead the way for future seasons.

Smith isnt the worst top pick yet since Leaf and Carr are but he might be later on if he still doesnt succeed.

Answer 8

It will be J.T O'Sullivan and as a Bears fan I would like to mention that obviously our coches are idiots as they couldn't see the talent in this guy.

He looked good against the Bears and well so did Smith.

And no he's not the worst ever 1st round pick. There always will be Cade McNown
