Somebody drug test Mike Martz. He thinks JT O'Sullivan could be the 49ers starting quarterback.
Offensive coordinator Mike] Martz predicted that O'Sullivan would jump out to an early lead when the team's offseason program begins on Monday because of his familiarity with Martz and Martz's system. (O'Sullivan was a backup in Detroit last season).
When I told him that most observers thought Smith, or possibly Hill, would eventually move to the top spot, Martz said that was a bad assumption. "Heck, no," he said. "(O'Sullivan) is capable of being a starter in this league. He's not a reliever, if you will. He's not a backup. He'll take full advantage of (the competition). He's a very fierce competitor."
The 49ers offense is in worse shape than I thought if O'Sullivan has a legit shot at being the team's No. 1 quarterback. No knock against the guy, but in six NFL seasons he's played for seven teams and has exactly zero starts.

The writer then goes on to say that Martz is probably putting O'Sullivan in there to push Smith and Hill. Or maybe just because the qb situation is so bad in San Fran.
At any rate, scary thought, huh?
