The winner of the ultimate battle is about to be announced. I’m talking about the San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback battle between Nick Mullens and C.J. Beathard. Both participants have slugged it out in glorious preseason combat and now there must be a winner and that winner will be announced Monday.
In his conference call discussing the 49ers cut-down to the final 53-man roster. John Lynch said that a decision has been made and an announcement will come on Monday. The decision has not yet been communicated to Beathard or Mullens so now we wait.
