And I don't understand how all you Alex Smith lovers are ignoring the fact that Shaun Hill has actually looked like a winner under dire circumstances, put together a winning record from the end of last season, and the season before that. He had pretty much the same team as Alex had in 2007 and 2008, but unlike Alex, he's actually won more than he's lost.

Exact;y!! If you give him time he can win, Alex has not proven that yet. I have seen him come really close but always when it counts he blows it. If Hill would not have been Farve'd he may have still been starting. With Crabtree, Davis and Gore with a decent line he would be much better than Alex Smith.

You can laugh all you want, but you cant deny that Hill will denied the SAME opportunities that Alex has been given throughout the course of his career. I dont ever remember seeing the offense tweaked to Hill's strengths, did you ? Hell, the guy was forced to execute Hostler's and Martz's offenses, and even led our team this past season despite dreadful CONSERVATIVE playcalling by Raye. Even then, he sustained key drives when called upon (Zona, Seattle, Minn). Yet, he flopped for 3 weeks and was sidelined......no tweak in the playbook, no change in playcalling, nada. Meanwhile, Alex's offense went through several molds......to the point that commentators (eg Steve Young) felt that the team was putting their star players (eg Gore) on the backburner......

Double standard, dont you think ?

Time to man the escape pods and eject the warp core!

He just may have a chance with the Bears.

The Shaun Hill starship never crashes and burns it just blasts off to new galaxies

Like the unemployment galaxy?

Haha, Shaun Hill did not win properly and Alex loses the right way. Did I miss anything?

I am going to miss this thread more than good 'ld noodle arm and his impressive deep punt passes. Regardless he played hard, wasn't a whiner, and gave his all for the 49ers.

And with this in mind Shaun Hill, from all of the other noodle arms on this forum...

we salute you!!!

Of course there's a double standard. Alex Smith is a former first overall pick.

Thank god Shaun Hill is finally gonna be gone. I swear if I had to watch him throw the ball one more time i was gonna give up on our team.

QFT.

Hill in the 2nd half of '08 (with Martz's offense geared towards his strengths) was the best I've seen a 49er QB play since Garcia. On top of that...we won games.

It's true Hill has a horrible arm, but had be in an offense that was more open (in '09) he would have done better. Defenses weren't stacking the line because of Hill...they were stacking the line because of the crunched formations we were using. This was giving Hill zero opportunity to get the ball to the outside.

Smith might still be the answer going forward, but Hill was given a raw deal.

People should respect that he's been our best QB since Garcia.

Look at the 1:33 and 1:48 mark.

Shaun Hill may not have been the greatest but he will sure be missed. I always had his back over smith and JTO. I hope he finds his way on the field in his next home. Thank you Shaun( hoping ur a zoner) if ur out there for the effort.

Off to Detroit!

To say Hill had more of a "raw deal" than Smith is just not looking at the big picture.
