49ers Users Smith or Hill?

Re: 49ers Users Smith or Hill?

I picked Hill for my 49ers franchise. Hill is a very good short to medium range passer, just don't ever pass deep with the guy! Smith is a much wilder passer but he's better at moving out of the pocket and passing the deep ball. Just pick the player that suites your style. Be prepared though during every drive with Hill the commentary will continously talk about how much Hill sucks and they are amazed he's making completed passes to keep a drive going.

Personally I like Alex Smith better than Shaun Hill. I try to get Hill a chance since he is a Terp but I like Alex Smith release and mobility when things break down

I have a bias against Smith too, the money he demanded and got for being the first pick in the draft and ended up being such a awful bust. 49ers still haven't recovered from that horrible draft pick. I refuse to play as him.

Smith isn't as bad as everyone makes out he is/was.

Remember that the team has improved since Smith was QB before.

Hill seems to be more accurate...

I want Smith to be good but like in real life he disappoints...

Re: 49ers Users Smith or Hill?

He's very injury prone, and he's only decent at best... I remember ripping my hair out when the 49ers decided to pick him. Then he demanded to be the highest payed draft pick ever and the 49ers gave him the money.... Got my blood bowling now gonna release him on my franchise now lol.

Re: 49ers Users Smith or Hill?

I was just wondering this myself while just eating my lunch. Wondered what others here were doing with their 49ers franchise.

I actually haven't decided yet. I have two games complete in my pre-season I started Hill the first game and Alex the second game, playing them each the first half with the other starters. Then the backup for each gmae only played the 3rd qtr because I wanted to play a qtr with Nate Davis as well.

Through two games Smith looks to be winning the job for me, but not going to decide until the pre-season is done. Hill had a poor game my first game, but he was 7-7 with the second stringers and two td's in the second game. Smith played well both games though. Hill is more accurate with the short passes, but I do see the difference with longer passes between the two.

I have a feeling I will restart my franchise once the real pre-season is over anyway because it will want to use the updated roster which may have some added players to the team especially if guys like Sheets or any others make the team.

But for now with this franchise I will wait to decided like I said, but kinda want to go with Smith just because if I can get him imrpoved he seems to have more upside just be`cause of the age difference, but we'll see.

If I do restart once the real season begins with an updated roster I will go with whoever the team really did go with.

Re: 49ers Users Smith or Hill?

In the game, I use Hill. I actually believe that M10 does a GREAT job with the way these two play. Hill does a great job at managing the game and not turning the ball over. Now, I know what your thinking, "it is not Hill who doesnt turn the ball over, its the player". Yes this is true for the most part, but if anybody has religously switched between the 2 like I have, they would notice that while playing with Smith, his unload time is SUPER slow, so he becomes more vulnerable to the "ugly duck pass" when almost getting sacked.

Also, he would inexplicably throw a ball that was so off to a wide-open reciever in medium range every now and then resulting in a turnover.

I am a fan of Smith. He has a million excuses to why he has not blossomed to a star, but he FULLY blames himself and all real 9er fans know this and appreciate this. He is a humble young man (only 25 still!!). Not saying he will avoid being a bust, but man he works his tail off. And for the 4 mil or so he makes as a back-up is not bad. A thing to consider in your franchise (good back-up at least). I will root for him always...
