Smith Booed At 49ers Training Camp

[Hasselbeck]

My bold prediction for the year; Smith wins Comeback Player of the Year, makes the Pro-Bowl, and the 49ers win 10. Quote it.

Comeback player of the year? How? Is Tom Brady going to get hit by a bus?

Damnit...adem beat me to my point.

Oh, by the way...

The morning crowd booed him. The afternoon crowd loved him. I'm talking, of course about Alex Smith, who came back from a middle-of-the-road morning practice with a couple of big plays in the afternoon, both of them to Brandon Jones. The first went about 35 yards, and Smith hit Jones with a nicely thrown pass along the right sideline over Allen Rossum. The second was even better because it came against the first-team secondary. The offense ran a flea flicker and Smith saw that Jones had a step on cornerback Nate Clements. Smith hit him in stride and Jones stepped into the end zone for a 50-yard touchdown.

Good to see Clements is still being abused by average WR's.

Very bold prediction, I can see 49ers as a 10 win team because history says the super bowl runner up usually falters. I can see Arizona having trouble, and I for sure do not believe in Seattle. It is funny that people think TJ will bring up that team so much. I do not see it. But Smith as a Pro Bowler? LOL , first he has to even think about starting on his own team which he probably will not do.

Actually people think Seattle will bounce back because half their team was injured.

Thanks for trying.

Shaun Hill has only played in 12 games his entire seven-year career, and those all came in these last two years. In those 12 games, he has completed 235 of 367 passes (64%) for 2,547 yards, 18 touchdowns, nine interceptions, has a QB rating of 90.5, and a winning record (7-3) in the ten games that he's started (he's also the first San Francisco QB to have a winning record in games started since Jeff Garcia).

To compare, Hasselbeck has only finished a season with a higher completion percentage than Hill's career percentage once in his ten-year career, and a higher QB rating only twice in his career...he's also started in 103 games, about nine times as many as Hill.

Comparing the man to Hasselbeck is silly anyway considering how many games each player has started, but to just come right out and say that Hill isn't at least an average QB based upon the playing time he's been given is retarded. Even though I would like Smith to win the competition, I'd be equally as happy with Hill at the helm of the offense. He hasn't gotten a lot of chances behind center, but he's made the most of the ones he has gotten.

LOL at this Shaun Hill-Matt Hasselbeck comparison. In his career, Hill has had one game where he has thrown for over 250 yards, and one game when he's thrown for 3 TDs. To compare percentages and ratings is the height of lunacy, because obviously the numbers will be skewed when one guy has started about 10 games and the other guy has started about 110 games.

If Hill was an average NFL QB, meaning he's about the 16th best QB in the league, then I don't think he'd be competing with Alex Smith for the QB spot this year. Would you also say that Byron Leftwich and Sage Rosenfels are 'average' QBs?

I wasn't the one who compared Hasselbeck to Hill in the first place.

My opinion of average is not being the 16th ranked QB in the league...it's being a decent talent at the position, enough to win some games, and not lose most of them.
