After Friday's game against Oakland, the 49ers starting quarterback job is still up for grabs. And not in a good way.

According to the Associated Press, "J.T. O’Sullivan turned over the ball on his final two drives, and Alex Smith and Shaun Hill didn’t perform much better as the 49ers committed four turnovers in an 18-6 loss to the Raiders... 'We feel disgusted at the turnovers,' said O’Sullivan, who threw one interception and lost a fumble. 'I don’t remember anything except for those two plays. Those things are 100 percent unacceptable. I am disgusted about those turnovers. You can’t make excuses for something like that.'"

Wow! JT O Sullivan is really getting into the mix! Martz wasn't using that as any motivational tool for Hill and Smith like we first thought. Looking bad now is common at this time in the season and I still think that Hill wins the job but with all these turnovers you have to wonder if the Niners lack of receivers is playing a factor somewhat.

O'Sullivan made a HUGE statement yesterday. According to the Associated Press, "O’Sullivan threw for 126 yards and a touchdown in his limited time while Smith struggled, and the San Francisco 49ers beat the Chicago Bears 37-30 on Thursday night... He was 7-for-8 with a perfect 158.3 passer rating in his third preseason start. He led the 49ers (2-1 preseason) to field goals on the first two possessions and a two-play, 77-yard touchdown drive on the third one... That should be enough to beat Smith, who came on early in the second quarter and was 6-for-17 with 83 yards and a touchdown."

Very impressive in this game. He even shed a tackle from a DE and threw for a TD

Love this move!!! Sorry Alex we all knew was coming.

So it's O'Sullivan landing the starting job over Hill and Smith. I guess it wasn't a smokescreen after all when Martz bragged about O'Sullivan. I want to see what he's got in the regular season.

I have a hard time believing on opening day they are not going to start Alex Smith after paying him all that money? Unless this JT Sullivan, I have never heqard of him, continuously shines. Some QBs don't play well in the pre-season and I can think of a few...Matt Leinhardt for one. This is Alex's 3rd season? Thanks for this update Lefty...
