where is the Nate Davis option
Seriously, it has to be Alex "Free" Smith
Honestly I would like to see Davis moved up to #2. Shaun Hill is done unless he gets a sex change and tries out for the LFL.

I've been as big of a Smith "hater" as there is but there's absolutely no question in my mind that he deserves to start this next game.
The offense looked exponentially better with him at the helm. We actually spread the ball out and threw DOWN the field. Smith does have a better arm. He made a few nice throws to Crabtree and the THREE TDs to VD can't be overlooked.
We needed this in the first half. Unfortunately, we couldn't get a f**king first down. 1 yard in the first quarter? WTH?!?!
to you for man'n up
I always supported Smith and just wanted him to have another shot and he was very impressive today.I hope he can build on this so to see once and for all if he's the future,if he faulters then Nate D should be given a shot.

Alex proved today that we can move the ball and score, despite the offensive line play. No way Hill should start over Alex..........

pretty obvious that it'll be smith.
Agreed.
I think it's all the more impressive that he hasn't seen regular season action since November 12, 2007 (I looked it up).
We could be a decent team if it weren't for Fatso Bernard.

To come out of a bye week looking like that...that really cemented Hill's fate. On a positive side, he can fish year-round now.

poor kid has to start this year playing the COLTS
tough luck
Indy will be al be a challenge for him, but if he can build on today, and keep on target with Vernon who know's what could happen. Alex gives us the best chance to win....

Sorry to be the debby downer but I don't think it will matter... we struggled with houston... we could put Joe Montana out there and it won't matter... the Colts are jus too loaded.
Not on defense they aren't.

I just want to know why 3% of the 'zone chose Hill.
Alex looked like a completely different player today and the O really picked up. Hope it continues.

My sentiments exactly! It doesn't do much good if you have Smith in there running that "power football" offense. This is clearly his strength, so let's open up the playbook and play to it. We're going to need to score next week anyway!
Pass to set up the run. Recognize this Sing, it's going to save us. Our best guys on offense have changed and we need to play to that strength. Vernon and Crabtree - let's get them involved most and hand off to Gore when they decide to play back.

3% voting for Hill, that is 12 people I think were too drunk and checked the wrong box. If not, stand up and allow yourself to be flamed.

Alex Smith has to be the starter next week. I also believe the offensive staff has to go with more of that spread look too. The play calls also need to get in alot faster. I'm not sure if they were having problems or just not calling them very fast.
