i miss shaun hill

He knew the playbook, could win games, and was cheap. You can't ask for more than that in a back up.

The problem with Hill is that he was too good. Now Smith easily gives us the best chance to win, with Hill it was highly debatable.

No. As it stands right now it wouldn't be debatable. Hill would be a solid #2.

Based on in-game performance it might be, we haven't seen Hill in this offense this pre-season. As it was when Hill was traded, it was debatable. Now if Smith sucks nobody is clamoring for David Carr to come in the game but I assure you if Hill was on the sidelines everybody would be calling for him the first time Smith screwed up.

I'm not sure. When Alex had a couple of tough games last year (Tennessee, Philly) there really wasn't much of a clamor for Hill. I think Hill's limitations were pretty well exposed. But that doesn't mean he isn't a good option at a #2.

I disagree. Hill never did anything to lose his job and everybody knew it. The reason he was benched was so that Alex could reach his full potential; but if we realized after a game or two that Smith's potential was a below-average QB then people would want the proven winner, especially when our defense only has so many years of dominance left. Hill's limitations were exposed but he still won games consistently, something Smith has been unable to do.

No. Not everyone knew it. The offense went completely nowhere in the Atlanta and the first half of the Houston games. They were playing 8 or 9 men in the box and the Niners could not exploit it. They took away the short game from Hill and he could do very little about it.

Hill was not the only problem in the Atlanta game but I understand your point. I disagree though that they exploited his weakness by putting 8 or 9 on the line, it was more of them playing soft zones because they were ahead by so much and knew we needed to pass. If Smith was terrible in weeks one and two do you really think there would be no more calls for Shaun Hill than for David Carr?

I agree that I would rather have Hill. Alex still has to fully establish himself so yeah there would be a clamor in the fan base but I don't think the coaching staff would be moved. If they got rid of Hill because they feared this scenerio than they made a mistake.
