The San Francisco 49ers are sticking with Nick Mullens as their starting quarterback after his spectacular debut performance.Mullens said coach Kyle Shanahan told him Tuesday that he will remain the starter for the upcoming game against the New York Giants."We discussed it. Obviously the situation is what it is http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/b.j.-goodson-jersey ," Mullens said. "The team is ready to get to work and treat it like any other week. My preparation doesn't change and this team's preparation doesn't change. We're excited to keep things going."Mullens worked with the starters during a limited practice as the 49ers (2-7) prepare for the Monday night game against New York. C.J. Beathard remains in the backup role after losing the starting job because of an injured wrist.Mullens was sharp in his debut, after spending his first year-plus in the NFL on the practice squad as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Mississippi.Mullens completed 16 of 22 passes for 262 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions for a 151.9 passer rating in a 34-3 victory over the Oakland Raiders. That's the highest since the merger for a player in his debut with at least 20 attempts.Mullens also joined Hall of Famers Jim Kelly (1986) and Fran Tarkenton (1961) as the only QBs to throw for at least 250 yards and three touchdowns without throwing an interception in their NFL debuts.That performance earned Mullens plenty of praise, especially on social media. But he spent the weekend enjoying time with his family rather than basking in the praise."It was a great experience but it's obviously onto the next week as this week is http://www.authenticsnewyorkgiants.com/cheap-aldrick-rosas-jersey ," he said. "One week doesn't make a season so you have to keep things rolling."Mullens provided a big lift to a 49ers team that had lost six straight games heading into the game against the Raiders and had little to play for after a season-ending knee injury to starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in Week 3.Beathard had committed 10 turnovers in his five starts, falling to 1-9 in his career as a starting quarterback.But that all changed in one game with Mullens under center, even though it came against one of the NFL's worst defenses."He came in that first drive and it seemed like he had been in there the whole time," tight end George Kittle said. "That's all on him. The preparation he's done and how he's been ready for it. It seemed like he's been ready all season."In other injury news http://www.authenticsnewyorkgiants.com/cheap-janoris-jenkins-jersey , cornerback Richard Sherman practiced despite being limited the past few weeks by injuries to his heel and calf. Linebacker Reuben Foster (hamstring) and receiver Pierre Garcon (shoulder, knee) were rehabilitating on the side, while safety Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) did not practice.The 49ers will take a day off on Wednesday before coming back for the regular week of preparation on Thursday for the game against the Giants. New York Giants coach Pat Shurmur said Tuesday that the trade of Eli Apple to the New Orleans Saints does not signal that the Giants have given up on this season.“That’s not the narrative – throwing in the towel. I think if you remember back, Eli (Apple) was out with injury when we beat Houston. Then Color Rush Riley Dixon Jersey , (CB) B.W. Webb played in his spot against two fine receivers,” Shurmur said. “We’re not throwing in the towel. This will give an opportunity for some young players and newer players to have an opportunity to play.”Shurmur was asked about balancing short- and long-term goals.“There’s no balancing act in my mind. I’m worried about the team today, and what we need to do to get ready to play Washington,” he said. “There’s no balance there Color Rush Landon Collins Jersey , but I’m always a part of the discussions as we work to get the roster the way it’s going to be this week, and certainly thinking about the future.”Around the Inter-GoogleNew York Giants are a perfect candidate for a blowtorch in this lost seasonNew York Giants coach Pat Shurmur may not want to talk about a complete rebuild, but this team is a perfect candidate for a blowtorch.Giants are going to lose the race to the NFL's basement, too | Politi | NJ.comSorry Youth Sterling Shepard Jersey , fans hoping for the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, but they aren't the worst team in the league -- and it's not really close.New York Giants offensive line has a small piece of good news after Monday night's disasterNew York Giants offensive line played better in the second half of their ugly loss to the Atlanta Falcons, for whatever that's worth.Giants QB Eli Manning on trade rumors: 'It's hard to imagine being with another organization' | NFL | Sporting News
