My man! For what it's worth, I was meh with Breida and stoked on Joe Williams.

Exactly the sort of over reaction I might have expected. "Wow, Nick was great, who needs Jimmy G!" I am really happy for him and glad that he played well. But it is only one game against a really bad team. Remember that kid Flynn from Green Bay a few years ago. Stepped in for an injured Rodgers and threw for something like six touchdowns in one game, which I think is some sort of Packer record, parlayed that into a deal with Seattle and promptly got beaten out by Russell Wilson and has more or less never been heard from since. Reading some of the articles about how he has prepared himself through the past two years one can't help but be impressed by his work ethic and desire to succeed. I would be all for him starting against the Giants but would not be at all surprised to see him have a bit rougher go of it than last night, which went about as smoothly as anyone could have hoped for. If it turns out that he is the real deal and can sustain his play then what a great situation the team will be in moving forward. Go Niners!

New face of the franchise deal Jimmy asap and get rid of that fat contract tbh

FWIW I think it was Aikman that said he talked to the team before the game that outside of Shanahan, Mullens knows the offense better than anyone other than a coach

Yea I heard that too. His preparation is on some legendary s**t based on everything they said last night.

THE MULE !!!!

So if he wins out the rest of the season (probably won't happen, but if it does...), should he have a legit shot to compete with Jimmy G for the starting position?

Wow, who said that? I can't imagine they're serious.

Jimmy has clearly shown Mullens a trick or two because the influence was glaring last night on two occasions: the sped up delivery vs the blitz where his feet never leave the ground and he torques his core to get the ball out, and the dropped sidearm delivery to Kittle on the screen, two of Jimmy's specialties.

Didn't get to see the game, but I saw highlights.

He did look confident and decisive.. but in looking at it, it felt like he had a lot of "easy" throws off the play action, which is a credit to the running game and Kyle Shanahan's gameplay. There were also a couple plays that turned out to be nice (Kittle's catch and run). I'd definitely like to see more because the sample size was small.

CJ has been very late on throws on those same play actions.

I thought it was over doing it. Not like it is a situation where he was a childhood hero who he never met. May as well have Nick's best friend or dad on a call.

Just interview the guy and let him talk and have his night.
