Do you believe this post is stupid because you didn't post it or because you disagree with something or what?

Its stupid for several reasons. 1st, He played backups and scrubs... maybe if he threw for 200 yards and 2 TDs I would say give him a shot to start a preseason game, but he didnt, he went 6-11 for 60 yards and a TD.

2nd, who would give us a pass rusher better than what we already have for smith??? This isnt madden dude. Pass rushers are MONEY, Alex Smith is NOT money!

3rd, you are basing this off ONE preseason performance. Leave it to the coaching staff to pick the QB line-up. Basing decisions from the couch is useless.

Dude, that's the whole point of this message board.

I'm basing this off of many really bad games by Alex Smith not from one preseason game by a rookie.

release or trade smith. he's been around since 2005, has been a waist of money and cant seperate himself from a journeyman(hill). its time to move on.

As opposed to a knee of money?

Don't you just love it when someone that cannot even use proper English tries to act like they understand football?

well... i mean these type of decisions. Preseason is difficult because CBS/FOX/NFL/ESPN only show 1/3 of whats really going on the field. You need tape...

thats an excuse and you know it.

What's a catchy name to call an excuse for Hill?

I give up.

Here:

Davis looked solid. He'll continue to develop.
Trading Smith is unrealistic on oh so many levels.
Releasing Smith at this point won't do much. Money we spent on him is a sunk cost, and we're only paying him back up money.

Teasing. You're right, you can't make any snap decisions based on one good game played by Davis. That said, he did look good....probably to good now to try and put on the practice squad, but he's a long way off from being a legit #2 QB. On this we agree.

Not a good night for either Smith or Hill other than the great block and tackle after the interception by Smith.

Double standards...Hillexcuses...Hillpologies?

Seriously, if Hill doesn't step it up we are screwed, Smith's numbers weren't pretty but the wr's dropped 2-3 passes and he threw away 2 to prevent sacks. Hill looked like a career back up tonight, he seems to have regressed. I say we let Hill start,if he sucks it up, put Smith in. Smith at least has shown some improvement in what were his problems. I think Smiths biggest problem was that Nolan and Hostler didn't know how to develop a QB. Seems like QB's weren't the only thing either, come to think of it.

Agreed. Definitely a long way off from being a legit #2 QB. That's why Huard would be in good position behind the starter. Nate Davis should not waste needed opportunities by being 4th in line.

I'd like to see Davis play a few snaps with the 1st team merely to see how he handles it.

I like Hillpologies.

I think both quarterbacks have to be disappointed in themselves. Either one of them could have made a big case to start had they had a strong outing. I thought Smith looked better than last time although that's not saying much.

I hope Hill picks his game up. To his credit, he has shown a knack of being able to rebound.

Till Dallas....

Firstly, I completely agreed with MM's latest article urging Niner fans to support both participants in our QB race. And, I do...

Secondly, it's just plain and simple - Smith had to cleary outplay Hill today to force a final showdown next week. If Smith had've engineered two strong scoring TD drives with his arm today, then we'd have a debate. The coaching staff, as indicated several times, KNOWS what it has with Hill. Sure, there are going to be times like today and last years Rams' game where he stinks it up. Hill's an average-at-best NFL QB who does has, at least, some of those winning intangibles. Smith hasn't shown us yet this pre-season that he can take command, move the ball down the field and put points on the board with any consistency. There's just no way our coaching staff benches the guy who wins 70% of the time for...the other guy who can't make an indelible mark as an efficent, consistent QB on our team.

I'm no Smith fan, but I'd rather see him as the #2 than a journeyman like Huard (who at this stage of his career, is a #3 at best). I'd also like to see what Davis looks like with the first team, but that's not likely to happen.

I think they'll go with Hill, Smith and Davis (and keep Huard's phone number close in the event of an injury).

I believe Alex Smith will be traded for a draft choice or a pass rusher to a team in need of a young quarterback. That would leave Huard as a decent backup to Hill and Nate Davis as possible future starting QB.

No way management will allow Davis to be snapped up by another team while hoping he'll slip by to the practice squad. I'd like to see Nate play with the 1st team for a few snaps.

LOL keep smokin buddy
