Scott Tolzien is currently penciled in as Colin Kaepernick's backup.
Tolzien, a 2011 undrafted rookie out of Wisconsin, has never thrown a regular-season pass. He's also a strict pocket quarterback, which could prove problematic for the scheme if the mobile Kaepernick goes down. It's certainly possible that the Niners use one of their 15 draft picks on an athletic signal-caller or find one in free agency to compete with Tolzien. Feb 28 - 9:30 AM

Scott Tolzien - QB - 49ers

49ers declared QB Scott Tolzien, RB Jewel Hampton, OG Joe Looney, S Trent Robinson, OLB Cam Johnson, NT Ian Williams and DL Tony Jerod-Eddie inactive for Super Bowl XLVII against the Ravens.

RE Justin "Cowboy" Smith is ready to roll despite a 50 percent tear to his left triceps, while receivers Chad Hall and A.J. Jenkins are both active. Hall played ahead of Jenkins in the NFC Championship Game despite being signed off the practice squad just one day earlier.

Scott Tolzien - QB - 49ers

49ers declared QB Scott Tolzien, NT Ian Williams, WR Kyle Williams, S Dashon Goldson, OLs Mike Person and Daniel Kilgore, and DE Demarcus Dobbs inactive for Week 1 against the Seahawks.

The Niners' top two QBs are Alex Smith and rookie Colin Kaepernick. They're going thin on the defensive line, perhaps because the Seahawks' run game isn't very intimidating. Of course, neither is Seattle's passing "attack."

Scott Tolzien - QB - 49ers

49ers claimed QB Scott Tolzien off waivers from the Chargers.

Undrafted out of Wisconsin, Tolzien was a favorite of Chargers beat writer Kevin Acee throughout training camp. After completing an impressive 25-of-40 passes for 302 yards in preseason action, he'll take over as San Francisco's No. 3 QB. Tolzien is a nice fit for Jim Harbaugh's West Coast offense.

Chargers waived QB Scott Tolzien.

Scott Tolzien - QB - 49ers

Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune expects undrafted rookie QB Scott Tolzien to make the Chargers' final roster.

We've got a long way to go -- i.e. four preseason games -- but the early returns on Tolzien are promising. "This kid is sooo smart, so accurate, gets rid of the ball so quick," writes Acee. "He's Drew Brees without having to be forced into playing so soon." It sounds like the Chargers may have found Philip Rivers' backup of the future after whiffing on Jonathan Crompton.
