O'Sullivan's Job in S.F.?
Journeyman quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan may have moved a step closer to winning the starting job in San Francisco with a crisp performance for the 49ers in Thursday night's exhibition game against the Chicago Bears.
O'Sullivan made the start and completed 7 of 8 passes for 126 yards and a touchdown.
And if 49ers Coach Mike Nolan and offensive coordinator Mike Martz indeed are going to demote former top overall draft pick Alex Smith to a backup role, Smith made it a bit easier with his 6-for-17 outing against the Bears.
Shaun Hill followed Smith into the game and connected on 6 of 7 throws for 60 yards.

It's starting to look that way, isn't it? I wouldn't put the word bust on him quite yet, but the trend line certainly is going downward.

Alex Smith might be up there with Heath Schuler on bust factor, what do you think Mark Maske?
