QB Controversy In San Francisco


Last season the San Francisco 49ers had 3 different QB starters but there seems to be a bigger QB controversy in the 49ers this next season, coach Mike Nolan has made it clear that Shaun Hill, who seems to have taken on great status after a few decent starts late last season, will compete with former No. 1 draft pick Alex Smith for the starting quarterback job.

Hill wasn't even drafted and spent most of his career in NFL Europe and on the Minnesota bench, has been given a new contract. Maybe this is coach Nolan's way of trying to challenge Smith to step up. But Nolan and Smith sniped at each other last season about the severity of the quarterback's shoulder injury.

Maybe Smith can get back into good graces and succeed under new offensive coordinator Mike Martz. But, keep in mind, Martz had a lot of success with another former NFL Europe quarterback... Kurt Warner when he was in St. Louis.
