Shaun Hill because he has my trust now.
Ideally, Alex Smith. Who doesn't want our 1st round pick to pan out?
Well, I woould like AS to pan out, but Hill deserves a friggn shot. The guy is like a Cinderella story. Started off in a JC, worked his way to a starter. Maryland picked him up and he worked himself up to a starter. In the NFL, he worked himself up to a starter. In 2008, he should have started and we would know exactly where he stands. He got ripped and it cost us our season (not saying we would have done well anyway, but we will never know)...
Look at it this way, say Smith gets the start and stinks it up (purely hypothetical)... Sing throws in Hill around game 7-9, and the season is shot... AGAIN... then we are back in the same situation with Hill where we do not know what the hell he can do with a full season...
AS will only benefit from riding the pine for the first few games, and if so, then the whole season...
