There is a reason that Hill hasn't played well, it's called PRESSURE! And he doesn't even get a chance to set his feet before getting hit! He doesn't look pretty, but he gets it done. Who actually even thinks that Smith could throw that seem route to VD in the endzone that Hill had made multiple times? If we put Alex in, we will end the season with a 5-11 record! I'd rather see Davis in there!!
Wait did you even pay attention to the preseason and the training camp? It was pretty widely known that Alex did better, but to win the job he would've had to play really really well. He actually didn't play that badly in the preseason, better than Shaun anyway. But Hill got the job because Sing knew what he had, and Alex was a mystery after not playing for 2 years, and Sing even said that. Smith played pretty well in the preseason, he played well vs Denver but everyone was upset that he missed a screen pass he should've hit, but otherwise he played pretty well. And then in the Raiders game he threw like 7 passes that were on target, but they got dropped and that on INT wasn't that bad of a pass, but Morgan let it slip through his hands and the defender caught it behind him. I've seen Shaun throw worse balls and got lucky the defender dropped them. And then all anyone talked about in training camp and mini camp was how Smith was slinging it to Brandon Jones deep all day, but then Jones got injured and Smith lost his favorite target.
Bottom line is Alex will do a better job getting the ball to the recievers down the field, that will open up the running game and make the play action more effective if we choose to use it, and if teams back off then we can throw Crabtree his screen passes. He's a talented player he just has had some bad luck and hasn't put it all together in the 3 season's he got to play.

I have witness Alex Smith Qb two of the worst years of offense that I have ever seen from a niner. With that said, I have watch Shaun Hill qb the third worst year of an qb this year. I wish this was Madden so I can simulate to the draft or Free Agency to grab another Qb. I cant take this anymore. Our standard of winning and offense has slipped greatly.I am so fustrated with our team directions. At one time, we were responsible for most of the succesful coaches in the league. Why did we variate from what we were doing? Our current staff have not groomed any of our talent to All pros except Patrick Willis. No one fears our offense or qb anymore. We need to restore our roots. We need to sign Gruden, Shanahan or Holmgren. Let them groom us a qb.
I am hoping Mike Johnson is the guy for the 49ers right now. Otherwise, it will be something entirely new next year...again...again...again...

yeah Smith throws a better ball, but he also scrambles prematurely, doesn't have the pocket presence Hill has. Smith consistently throws balls in areas that prevent our WR's from scoring, whether its at their feet or, forcing them to break stride to catch it! Hill isn't the problem, it's the O line!

What bothers me is that this was Smith's job before he got injured and he was just starting to do it marginally well.
Then we had the JTO debacle and then Shaun Hill some how grabbed the reins.
With most teams, when the QB comes back from injury he gets his job back, I think Smith didn't get his fair chance to keep progressing.
That usually only applies to players that have established themselves as a starter. Smith was handed a starting job before establishing himself, but then lost support from coaches & team mates. They owed it to the rest oif the players to open the job up to competition, otherwise morale would have really suffered. Not all the players were behind Smith after all the problems they had.

Shaun has been doing the exact same things you accuse Alex of doing. He's lost his pocket presence, he throws the ball at the recievers feet, he runs into defenders, and he forces them to break stride to catch the ball-"it came down like a punt"-Josh Morgan. Not only that but he hasn't been able to throw a deep post, a go route, a deep out, and he's unable to fit the ball in tight spaces. Most plays where the wrs are open Hill just dumps it off because he figures he can't make the throw. Not only that but he's lost his touch on things like screens.

Ummmmm bruh? Hill was named the Starter cause he was deemed the SAFE move. He was not anointed the Golden Child.
It's obvious that you don't post much, so maybe you should stick to what you're good at and not post, huh?
Cause SERIOUSLY it's hard to take anyone seriously when they drop weak junk like that in a s**th v. Hill debate.
"Ummmmmmmm dude if Smith was better then Smith would be starting"
Nevermind that Smith actually looked good in OTAs', TC AAAAAAAANNND Preseason. He just didn't look, how you say, extra spectacular? But he seriously did not look as bad as some people around here are acting like.
Take that weak $4|t down the road with your Alex Smith voo doo doll and leave some space for knowledgeable posters. Please.

I agree 100%. Hill isn't the problem, its the Oline! The oline has been horrible all year. Smith couldn't do anything with a bad oline his 1st 2 years in the league. What makes everyone feel like Smith with do something now?

1 bad game? What has he done? Remember our offense didnt score at all in the first half against the Rams. Yes he threw two td passes when the Rams we playing desperate defense. Its funny how they would bring up that he was 7-0 at the Stick but his stats werent that great...how bout credit Gore and the D not Hill.
