SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Mike Singletary is keeping mum on his starting quarterback.
The coach has made up his mind on who will get the call for San Francisco’s must-win game Sunday at St. Louis. He just isn’t saying which guy named Smith will be under center for the 49ers.
Smith 1 or Smith 2? Singletary says it might just be both. He has talked to both quarterbacks and insists each will get his share of reps in practice this week to be ready to play.
A little gamesmanship to keep the Rams guessing, perhaps?
At 5-9, if the 49ers win out they can still finish in a three-way tie with St. Louis and Seattle and capture the awful NFC West crown — which would end a seven-year playoff drought for this franchise.
