My take of the 2009 San Francisco 49ers Quarterback competition?

Ahhh, Football Season is here. The Wins, the Losses, and the Competitions. And yet, already 1 week into the pre-season, and some teams are unaware of who there field general will be, and who will at least try to hoist them that lombardi trophy, come February. In San Francisco, it is Alex Smith or Shaun Hill, the tale of two quarterbacks from two ends of the earth. Introducing the 1st challenger, A Utah product, a Number One draft pick, the 40 million dollar man, Alex Smith! In the other corner, a lifetime backup, the minimum wage NFL guru, Shaun Hill! Really, basically the expectations for Smith were WAY over the top, I mean come on.. the next "Montana" ? 6 OC in 6 years. No Receivers. Bad Coaches. Bad O-Line, = Disaster! Shaun Hill, had ABSOLUTELY nothing to lose coming in as a starter, and he succeeded. Basically the 49ers need to figure out how well they want to do. Hill, is pushing 30, he's not going to get any better, but he's a leader. His arm will NOT, and I REPEAT, NOT, get San Francisco into the Super Bowl, he's just not talented enough. However, it is VERY possible he will secure them a playoff spot. Then you've got Alex Smith. He has a really good arm, he could throw the ball far, and when he's on, he's ON! But he lacks leadership and he lacks a sense on urgency and heart. Not to mention when he struggles, he struggles bad. So it's a hit or miss with Smith. When he's good, he can take the 49ers to the promise land, however if he stuggles, it will be another LONG season for the San Francisco 49ers. Give me your take on this competition! Thanks, and GO NFL!!!!
