If the 49ers don't get to the QB against the Raiders I'm going to be very disappointed.

Think again there smart guy. I am pro Smith and Hill. Who ever can win games is who I want to be the starting QB. And I agree with you Smith haters that currently at this time Hill gives us the best opportunity to win. It is called being reasonable and thinking logically.

I do think logically. Why would anyone want a quarterback starting for their team with a bum shoulder, bad decision making, bad mechanics, and a slow release?

Bad decision making???? I thought he held onto the ball because he was to careful? Which one is it cause you can't really be both

When did I ever say that he was toO careful?

oh dear god!! Please help us all. It is pretty well known that the reason that Smith holds on to the ball so long is because he doesn't trust his receivers(and for good reason. Just look at the 07 season with all the droppsies) and he doens't want to give the ball up. It is not like he just likes the feel of the ball in his hand.

If you are going to bash the guy at least know what you are talking about

Oh dear! This man is coming up with more Alexcuses! I actually haven't heard that one before, but I'll add it to my list of Alexcuses.

How is that an excuse??? Even the coaches have said that he holds onto the ball to long for that reason. Again if you are going to bash the guy know what you're talking about.

Instead of barbecuing up a bunch of bs that the coaches supposedly said why don't you provide me with some evidence since you know what you're talking about.

You act like this is old news? Just answer this, Has Alex Smith been accused of holding onto the football to long?

Here is a snipet from ESPN.com

Singletary talked about how he wants to see Smith protect the ball, get rid of the ball quickly and avoid mistakes. That second item -- getting rid of the ball quickly -- comes with being confident and decisive. Smith needs to project those things to the offense and the team if he expects to win this job. I do not see evidence that he has done that convincingly.

But your right I am just making it up

He's not confident? I knew that! Sorry, but it doesn't say anything about him having confidence in his receivers.

Regardless of how Alex performs in the pre-season, Hill is going to start. Alex has improved, Alex is more confident, he trusts his receivers more, his shoulder is fine...all of these might be true. However, he is still not better than Hill based on what we've seen in the real games in the last few years. Call it heart, call it gut, call it whatever. Nothing personal against Alex, Hill is just better in my opinion.

Not to forget, Hill never had a consistent OC as well...heck, he was just put in whenever someone else was out for whatever reason. He still won games.
Anyways, we've all gone thru this before. Hill will start...the org knows it, coaches know it and the fans know it (at least most of em).
It would be a major surprise if Alex started in the regular season.
