I am not by any means content with the starting QB situation, I too think that ANY of the QB's on the roster could produce similar results to what Hill is putting up. I think Hill is feeling the pressure of being the man a little. It seems pretty clear he is playing a little timid compared to last year. He seems a little reluctant to take a chance and throw it down the field, unlike last year. Before you guys start bashing me for voicing my concerns, tell me that you honestly do not see the same thing. I am hoping that Hill becomes more comfortable and starts making the throw when the receivers are open, but it has been obvious to me that Hill is still dumping off the ball short even when one of his wideouts has gotten open down field. I won't pretend to understand why he is not comfortable putting the ball up for the wr's, but it is what it is.
I think he knows we are a winning team...and we have put our selves into situations where he doesn't have to force anything...... as far as forcing something to our recievers.... well he tried one to Delanie which Delanie gave up on the route, for an easy INT for the CB..... that pass was not needed.
but, I have no problem with Hill giving our receivers a chance to make plays if they are covered....imo only to Vernon....and Morgan....he could out jump some CBs.
Bruce on the other hand would have to play CB again and try to swat the ball.
