Exactly. He is a horrible quarterback. Dont lie to me..., You webzone fans know right now that everytime S. Hill throws any type of intermediate pass, you all cringe and worry. How can you not? His abilities are very very limited. I dont want to be limited in our position at quarterback. Hill needs to be out of the starting position NOW

I think we have yet to see SH's potential and his great arm.

Ummmm, no. I used to cringe everytime Alex Smith threw any kind of pass. Hill's no Montana, but he's 3x the player that Smith is. The difference between Smith and Hill's performance tonight would have been the 2 INTs and 1 fumble Alex wouldve had against the Dallas starters.

I agree on top of that Hill has the far better arm and athletic mobility.

Ok, don't get me wrong, Nate looks great and could possibly be our future QB, but three things bother me:

1. He's playing against 2nd-3rd stringers, so not the best comparisons.

2. He played for Ball State last season, so what NFL caliber talent has he played against?

3. Can he play under pressure? (League championship and bowl game come to mind)?


I know everyone wants Hill to be Steve and Joe, but he's not. He's had one real start and now since he's the official starter, he will have more time to work with his WRs until the regular season starts. I know he started bad, but the field goal drive he was looking very good connecting on a few good passes. Raye's play calling seemed to throw the team off this game, so I wouldn't be surprised if we changed up back to run heavy with short route passes to gain yards and eat up clock for our defense.

You just lost all credibility with that statement.

Sorry but Alex's weakness is not his recklessness. It's probably the opposite -- he's just too conservative.

Alex's weakness is his complete and utter lack of talent.

wow. where have you been hater? alex looked good with norv, then went 2-1, then got hurt. and then looked like s**t. did you not watch the beginning of the 06/07 season. but back to the point alex has three times the talent as hill. its his leadership and yes being to conservative due to nolan overcoaching him.

nate davis has a daughter

Not really the best argument here. Matt Leinart played against NFL talent and he's been a backup for going on 3 years now. I know Nate Davis is a project but I'd much rather have him than some big shot QB out of a big college program who had superstars all around him.

Give him time, Let him grow and we might have something.

By midseason, if/when we are out of the play-off hunt; we should bite the bullet and insert Davis. Let him take his lumps, and get a jump start on the following season. Neither Hill or Smith are the long term answer. Davis might not be either, but at least we can see what he's got before next year's draft.

exactly, i actually like the little school guys because they dont have elite lines so the QB's get to work on their improvisation skills when plays break down. i think thats why davis makes decisions so quickly unlike the other two guys. he throws the perfect passes for the situations he's in. last night he lobbed passes, zipped em into tight spots, he has a really good touch and feel for the game. i think if it came down to it, he could start and be just as good if not better than Hill and Smith, but he looks like he can be developed into a decent QB.

Um...what happened last time we tried to fast-track a rookie QB??? Patience is a virtue!
