This kid is good, and he took some hard hits, but stood in the pocket and delivered. Twice. Both games against us Mullens got hammered a couple of times, and had he been a well known QB, there might have been a penalty or two. But as an unknown, he won't get those calls.
Which is fine by me because they get too carried away with those flags and it's impossible for players to know what constitutes a penalty, and what doesn't. Nick Mullens should have gotten the game ball though, because he was amazing and was the biggest contributor to that win.
But Kyle Shanahan gave it to Richard Sherman...for what? John Clayton was okay with it because "People don't throw at him, so just because he doesn't have any stats, doesn't mean he's not good."
But I would submit that the 49ers could have played without Richard, considering all of the penalties, still would have won the game. Would they have won without all the penalties? There's no telling, maybe, maybe not.
Either way, Nick Mullens should have gotten the Game Ball and Shanny giving it to Richard, imho, is the sign of an inexperienced coach. I think some of the players will question that choice, and if he makes more decisions like this, eventually he have trouble convincing his players to buy in.
