Last night's performance was abysmal by both Hill and Smith. If neither can step it up we will have a major problem to be a well rounded offense. We can run the ball but passing has become limited and that is not good in this league. Smith still holds the ball too long, underthrows, throws behind and off target, or tends to throw high and causes interceptions. The wounded ducks he was throwing out there was just horrible. Very discouraging in his 5th year.
I am hoping Hill just had an off night, but he did not look good. Davis is just too green. I don't know if Huard brings anything to the dance of not.
It will tougher in Dallas next Saturday, let's hope someone steps up?
Wow, I don't usually pay a whole lot of attention to this argument since I don't care who starts as long as we win, but I had to call you on this. Smith is hurt for almost two full years and you count that against him to bolster your argument. Come on, don't twist facts to fit your argument that only weakens your point. Realistically this would be his third year and coming off a major injury.
Also Hill is the one who throws wounded ducks which is why our receivers can catch them so easily. As long as that works I'am ok with Hill.
Disagree with you and Memphis, my perogative. Smith at 5 years should have a better mental grasp of the game and he doesn't. He takes too long on his reads and throws high or behind his receivers. You can have your opinion and I have mine. I am not a Smith hater nor a Hill fan, I just want someone to step up and play the position with consistency, not greatness, I will just settle for consistency, so far I don't see it? I hope one of them steps up next week, actually I hope both of them step up next week?
I think we agree more than disagree on neither quarterback showing much. I wish one would look a lot better than the other so maybe this whole argument would go away. From your post I think we can agree that would make us both happy. My problem was only with your assertion that Smith is in his fifth year when really he is only in his third year with yet again a different OC. He has only "Played" the better part of two years and not 4 as you intimate. That is a huge difference. Man, if he had four seasons of playing under fire and looked like this then we would be in complete agreement. But since he is effectively only starting his third season behind the center, under an NFL rush I just have a little more patience with him. I have believed from the beginning that Nolan blew it by starting him too soon and not having him sit two years like GB did with Aaron Rodgers. The team wasn't going anywhere then anyway. I still don't think he is very accurate, he does holds the ball too long and doesn't dump the ball off as well as Hill does.
However, as you said we can agree to disagree on this one point.
