What do you guys think of 49ers qb situation

Question

please don't say alex smith sucks, everyone knows that.

so wut ya all think. 3 way qb competition? who do u think will get the start? and any other thoughts

Answer 1

Jt sullivan is starting tonight against the raiders. I say he'll win because he has the most experience with mike martz playbook. I don't think Alex smith has the arm for Martz offense.

Answer 2

I hope Hill emerges as the starter,but it might be time to start scouting college QBs this fall.

Answer 3

I don't buy the too many coordiators deal.  Kurt Warner, Rich Gannon, Hasselbeck, even Brady have played for multiple coordinators and did fine.  If you're a good QB in the 1st place, your coordinator sticks around a bit longer!

Alex I still think gets the nod, due to $$.  It was Nolan's first pick, when they had no GM.  If he doesn't start, Nolan will get fired this year.  They say he doesn't have the arm for Martz offense, but having Roy Williams in fantasy last year, I watched all of their games and the Martz offense doesn't really throw the bomb anyways.  

That being said, its sad that until yesterday, they can't even decide who is going to start a preseason game.  If JT was that good, why did he already get waived by 6 teams?  

Answer 4

Great Decision by Coach to Start Hill instead of Smith. Hill showed better accuracy and decision making at practice and i know it will show even more in tonight's game.

Answer 5

I think it will be really hard for them not to start Smith. They have so much money and a first overall on him just to start basically a fulltime backup. However, I think he will have a short leash. Throw a few too many pick or if he doesnt put up numbers he will get benched. Then Shaun Hill will get his chance. I really like what Shaun Hill did last year and he will get his chance eventually.

I can see Smith doing really well this year if the running game picks back up. But I can also see him getting benched after a few bad games. Either way its really his job to loose.

Just look what Manning did last year - you cant predict what will happen or injuries you can just watch what happens as it goes on.

Answer 6

I say Shaun Hill

Answer 7

I think part of the problem is having 3 different offensive coordinators in the last 3 seasons. Constantly changing your offensive philosophy is probably the primary reason why the QB's have struggled to maintain consistency in San Francisco.

Answer 8

Shaun Hill is the bst of that bunch. He should win the starting gig. That being said it still will not be pretty. The only team with a worse QB situation is Chicago.
