then we'll know for sure about Smith..
this always cracks me up....God knows how many times I have heard this.
i guess what i'm saying is...if we end up loosing more games with Smith...then lets start developing Nate Davis...But let Alex play out a few more games..IMHO
so you want to ride or die with Alex...I understand... I posted about this earlier today....but I'm also a Niner fan....and I think we can still make the playoffs....so I want to see what Hill can do, if he can keep us in games......
the thing is Alex was playing at home against a struggling defense and had 3ints and 2 fumbles.... I wasn't expecting this AT ALL in this game....but am not surprised, I've seen this before.....
so I'd go with Shaun....see if the o'l dink and dunk...mixed in with what we saw today (I actually like the game Raye called for once....the flow of the game seemed different)......and go from there.
like Singletary said.... we are not a charity.....we can't have turnovers like this....we won't get anywhere....
now if Shaun comes in and can't sustain drives....those can also be considered turnovers...then we should go to Nate Davis......but I still feel we can win some games and make a push at the playoffs....
Afrikan, BRUH, did you NOT see the Atlanta game?
Did you NOT see Smith keep us IN the Colts game?
Did you NOT see the Houston v. Colts score?
What gives you ANY indication that Hill can even keep up against solid teams like that?
Nevermind that we lost. But today we had a couple things go completely against us that were beyond our control. Take into account that we lost to a solid Playoff team from last year that is decimated by injuries just like we are. Staley is on the Line and Snyder would not have been on the field. I honestly think that Sims held his own today. So when Joe gets back I think that he should be the RT for the rest of the season and Jed needs to get another GM who understands that the Line is the most important unit and is not afraid to pay them a solid amount.
Why do we get the $h|TTiE$t OL personnel each and every season. I'm stymied at the ineptness that starts with the GM. This can't be possible. And yet we see it year in and year out.

Shaun helped beat the Cards at Arizona.....when Gore was getting stuffed all game...they finally let him pass...and he drove down field and scored...
he did the same against the Vikes at Minnisota....he drove us down field and threw what we all thought was the winning TD....but we lost on a 50 yard bomb from Favre with 12 secs...
so you have the undefeated Vikes and the 1st place Cards....I consider those teams solid.....and Hill did his part in beating teams we are suppose to beat, against the Rams....and the Seahawks who are playing better now....
as far as the Colts game Ceadder....Alex also threw a costly INT....and almost threw another one that was dropped.
I expected him to do well today against the Titans at home......but 3ints and 2 fumbles?....that is not going to cut it.... Alex has thrown an INT in all his games this year..
And after seeing this game Shaun would get his @zz kicked by the Cards at the Stick. We caught the Cards at the right time.
That pick in Indy? Batted up.
Pretty much ALL his picks have been deflections this year. I say he should own it but that don't mean that it's true. C'mon man he's thrown ONE true INT all season.
I would much rather have Smith under Center than Mr. 3 an out Shaun Hill.
BTW if Hill was indeed "celebrating" after that game then he needs to be CUT. There are plenty of scrubs on the waiver wire, that I'm pretty sure won't celebrate after a loss.
When my team lost you could NEVER say that I didn't take it as hard as the rest of my teammates even when I did not play that day. It's no wonder this team is stuck in this mode. There has to be an "example" player. If he can't be the team leader that he was purported to have been then he needs to be the guy that is straight up cut outright.
And please everyone spare me the "we have no experience behind Alex" sob story.
It's time to take drastic action or Sing will lose what little credibility he has with the core players. You can only drop Trou so many times. Sing's used his time up already. Now it's time to do what Bill Walsh would do. Have the guy's locker boxed up and dropped in front of his feet. Sorry but we don't need ya if you're in a celebrating mood after a Loss. No matter how important you are to us.
