It's possible that if Mullens plays he can have some early success due to surprise / different rhythms & strengths as compared to Beathard, but chances are his more limited talent level will result in the Raiders catching up in the second half to those strengths.

When the game is on the line at the end the odds will be against Mullens being able to be a "closer" like we've needed. (Plus, he can't also play EDGE rusher, which is the closer you need on defense at the end of games).

Hope that if he plays the kid plays well enough to help the team, but this is a big ask for him.

I honestly think he will start out hot. An offense that produces, a hungry 3rd string qb, and going against a pretty bad defense. Of course he could totally pull a Peterman and s**t the bed but I would be willing to bet he will be okay.

I'll say over, 3 total. 2 INT's and 1 fumble sounds reasonable.

Savage released. CJ must be available, but who starts?

San Francisco's starting QB tonight against the Oakland Raiders will be Nick Mullens, per source.

C.J. Beathard will serve as his backup, but with his wrist injury affecting his grip on the football, Mullens will make his first NFL start and throw his first NFL pass.

CJ is healthy enough to come in as a backup but not healthy enough to start?

The Nick Mullens experience - in just under three hours from now. Should be interesting. If you have to be thrown into your first NFL start, this year's Raiders aren't a bad opponent to face. Here's hoping for the best with him at QB.

Finally, was tired of seeing beathard hold onto the ball for forever waiting to get sacked and gassing our defense for them being on the field so many times.
