What's even more crazy is that im not completely sold on S.Hill. He's 7-3 record is nice, but his deep ball throw is horrendous, i remember that Underthrown ball to B. Johnson against the cowboys that was intercepted in the Endzone and the other underthrown ball against The Rams to Jason Hill that luckily Josh Morgan caught to win us the game.
I wouldn't trust anyone that's completely sold on either of these guys. Only thing Smith's proven, so far, is that he shouldn't have been the first overall pick. And, Hill, where he's a gamer, his arm strength limits the team (but his accuracy and football smarts somewhat make up for that).
The good news, though, is that Hill has been effective moving the O and putting points on the board. If Smith beats him out, I would expect that he will at least be as productive as Hill was last year.
Excellent post, and this is how Alex supporters feel in a nutshell. If Alex beats Hill out next month, then the belief is that Alex can do as well as Hill did. Add to that, the overall belief that Alex can get even better as he rolls along, where the ceiling on Hill is believed much lower. Bottom line, and the most telling thing in all of this = The Alex supporters also support Hill, yet most of the Hill supporters do not support Alex. That's a shame...
Good post old dude...
I would have to say that I'm more of a Hill supporter though. I think the level headed Hill supporters would love for Alex to prove us wrong; but, we don't think he's capable of being anything more than a below average game managing QB.
Competition starts tomorrow; so lets see how these guys look when the heats turned up.
