J.T. O'Sullivan is starter going into the regular season, 49ers coach Mike Nolan announced on conference call with reporters this afternoon.
The announcement ended a drama that has lasted through the entire offseason.
"J.T. O'Sullvan will be our starter going into the season," Nolan said. "He has good command of our offense. He's played well in all three preseason games. And now it's time to get ready for the season."
Nolan said he still has a lot of confidence in Alex Schmitz and Shaun Hill. Schmitz will be the backup and Hill will be the No. 3 QB.
--Nolan said there is no thought to cutting Alex Schmitz. He said the organization has not had that discussion.
