"I still don't think his play is where we want it to be, but I think he's getting there," Singletary said after the 49ers' loss to the Green Bay Packers. After 4 ½ games, Smith has attempted the same number of passes as Shaun Hill did in 5 ½ games. The main reason, of course, is that the 49ers have generally been behind in the Smith games - and forced to play catch-up. Here is a co...

Hill had four bad passes and only seven good ones. Vernon Davis dropped a screen and Hill missed Michael Crabtree on an out that would have been about an 18-yard gain and then threw the...

Wait, let me correct myself. Shaun Hill and the offense WERE terrible to begin the game. From the very first play, Hill set the tone for the day. He took a simple three-step drop and tried to force the ball [...] Sun, 25 Oct 2009 16:32:35 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Alex_Smith_Boosts_Offense/1432692 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Alex_Smith_Boosts_Offense/1432692 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Alex_Smith_Boosts_Offense/1432692 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/d/f/df2297f80ed1e5c0c7a7f56f2f6df713a3730456/small/San_Francisco_49ers_3030.jpg Is is now Alex Smith's time. He's had over a year to sit back and watch and has mainly been an observer for the installation of Jimmy Raye's offense. It's the same thing that happened with Shaun Hill last year. He had time to digest the offense before he was inserted for J.T. O'Sullivan and Hill...

Singletary went on to say Hill is the starting quarterback and nothing is going to change . . . well, until it changes. This is exactly what Singletary said, and you can draw your own conclusions: "Alex Smith has never been out of the picture. It's as I said way back when, whoever the starting quarterback is going to be, that's the startin...

They may not always be pretty, but when the game ends and the “W” is on your team’s side, does it really matter? He may win, but he likes to leave us fans in suspense.
