For all you guys bashing Hill on his arm, I'll take a win over arm strength any day.
All the tight spirals Alex has thrown have not amounted in wins. Not even last Sunday.
Besides none of you guys ever even played the position. You guys are better suited to be stand up comedians.

3-3 isn't winning. I hope Hill has a good career fishing though.
10-6 record as a starter is.
We're in 2009 now. He isn't a winner anymore, but since you're apparently so stuck on the past, let's just bring in Steve Young to play QB.
Well how many games has Alex Smith won since we're stuck in the past? I already stated that I have no problem with Alex starting. What I have problem with is that everyone is banging on Hill when all he did is win games for us. Arm strength has nothing to do it with it.
1) Are you watching the same game we are?
2) He wasn't winning. We're 3-3. That's not winning. Had we kept Hill in there, he'd probably have another pathetic game against the Colts defense and end up having a losing record (3-4). At least now we have a shot.
3) Arm strength has everything to do with it. Your boy Hill doesn't scare anyone and can't make half the throws Smith made in the 2nd half against Houston.
4) Hill is older than Smith with no upside.
5) Hill has no athletic ability whatsoever. Don't you find it rather interested that once Smith took over, suddenly the pass game, run game, OL, and defense all mysteriously started to look better? It's because of Smith's ability. Even if he doesn't connect on deep throws, the fact that he can changes the way the defense plays. Or are you one of these people that believe everyone else just happened to randomly start playing better once Smith entered the game?
6) While Smith was busy during the bye throwing passes to Crabtree, Hill was fishing and having fun, apparently satisfied with his level of play.
7) Basics: Hill can't even throw a spiral.
There are many reasons why people think poorly of Hill. Like I said, hopefully he has a good career fishing.
