Shaun Hill

Who needs Alex Smith? Not the 49ers


Shaun Hill had another good game for the San Francisco 49ers, leading the team to their second straight win. Shaun finished the day 11 of 24 for 123 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception. That's good enough for a passer rating of 83.9.

I said it last week, but its worth mentioning again: dump Alex Smith. Shaun Hill represents the future of the franchise. With Hill at QB, the 49ers have a chance to win every game. Let's throw these Niners against the New England Patriots!

Could Shaun Hill be the future for 49ers?


The San Francisco 49ers just won over the Cincinnati Bengals at home. Leading the Niners to the win tonight was quarterback Shaun Hill. Even as a Bay Area resident, I had no idea who he was. It seems Hill has been bounced around the practice squads of various NFL teams. His career stats show 2 rush attempts at -1 yards each for the Minnesota Vikings in 2005. A -1 yard rush attempt for QBs is usually a kneel down.

Shaun got his first playing time last week, after Trent Dilfer got knocked out of the game with a concussion. Shaun would complete the rest of the game with a 106.9 quarterback rating on 22 of 27 for 181 yards and 1 TD. Getting his first ever start at QB, Shaun completes 21 out of 28 for 197 yards, 1 passing TD and 1 rushing TD. That's hot.
