As it stands right now, we have three QB's (Alex Smith, David Carr, and Nate Davis) who each have some mobility and can be a threat in the passing game. They each have similar styles that will help the 49ers develop an offensive identity. I like Shaun Hill, but if Alex were to not play (for whatever reason) we would have to take the offensive scheme back to square one. It would be a HUGE setback for this team!
I think this signals the beginning of the end for Shaun Hill as a member of the San Francisco 49ers.
Carr has no mobility at all my 49er friend. Its one of the reasons he gets sacked so much. All he has is a cannon arm which would be great if he made good choices throwing or if he didnt hold on to teh ball to long. Theres a reason a huge reason why this guy gets sacked so much. If this guy comes in is our automatic #2 then Davis aint worth a s**t. Trust me when I say this that Carr will be as effective behind our OL in Rayes offense as he was during his years in Houstan and Carolina. For teh NYGs who have 1 of the best pass protecting OLs in the league he looked at best decent. He wont be behind anything close to resembling that here in SF.
