It's funny how Hill gets crucified for his 3rd down "issues" but has anyone been criticized for our 1st down issues or second down issues? I'm sure we are bottom in the league.

“Alex looks fine. You can bring guys in here off the street and practice and they’ll look fine. It’s just a matter of continuing to get better, refining those little things. But, Alex is getting better. He is getting better.”

You're right. Alex hasn't not gotten a 1st down on 1st, 2nd or 3rd down all season long.

why does EVERY thread turn into a Hill vs Smith thread?

Because its Niner Talk.

I think our first and second down production would not be good as well because we are usually in 3 and long (more than 5 yards). I would be surprised if we are ranked higher than 20 on first and 2nd down.

Because our starting QB situation is not OK, we are last or near last in every meaningful passing stat. The rest of the league is on to Hill and his noodle arm. They put 11 men in the box and dare Hill to beat them.... and he can't..
