The O'Sullivan Factor football, :scared:J.T. O'Sullivan, starting quarterback for the 49ers? It could happen.

49ers All-Time Backup QB The polls will remain open, but congratulations to Joe Montana as he has rolled to an impressive victory. Maybe it's not quite an Andy Lee-esque whooping, but Montana definitely stepped above and beyond his counterparts. Considering the talent the 49ers have produced at the quarterback position, I thought it was worthwhile to include a backup quarterback on our all-time 49ers team. Steve Young (1987-1999): As it was fitting for Montana and Young to duke it out for the starting position. NFL tickets.
