Just saw a scroll that said Singletary was unsure if Hill would play Saturday.(Back problems). Alex Smith is out because of a hand problem. I bring this up because this is our "dress rehearsal". As of now Nate Davis would be starting against our defense. Starters are going to be playing for at least 3 quarters too! At least it will be a good test since they have a pretty good running game and I want to see how we do against Gore/Coffee

Over/under we beat them by 28 points.

:lmao:

I'll be very disappointed if we're not up double digits by halftime.

Their running game could keep them in there especially if our rookie linebackers play very much.

Two 49er QBs May Miss Dallas Game
By JOE KUKURA
Updated 5:30 PM PDT, Wed, Aug 26, 2009

Shaun Hill was so excited about being named the 49ers' starting quarterback that on Wednesday he injured himself throwing his first pass.

Hill strained his back on the first pass he threw Wednesday morning, after Coach Singletary had named him the starting quarterback Monday afternoon. Kevin Lynch reports on his San Francisco Chronicle blog that Hill is now listed as day-to-day, and might not play in Saturday's exhibition game at Dallas.

The 49ers have already scratched Alex Smith from Saturday's line-up. Smith sprained a thumb tackling Raider linebacker Ricky Brown after an interception in Saturday night's game.

If neither Hill nor Smith can play for the 49ers' third preseason game at Dallas -- and the third preseason game is typically the "dress rehearsal" game in which coaches let their starting quarterbacks play the longest -- then Niner fans will get an exceptionally long look at the likes of third-string candidates Nate Davis and Damon Huard.

Coach Singletary sounds optimistic about Hill coming back quickly. "I'm assuming he's going to play," Singletary said in a press conference after practice. "But I don't know that. So I don't even want to think about all the other stuff."

Hill himself sounds even more optimistic, telling Dan Brown of the Mercury News that he will "definitely" play Saturday against the Cowboys.

But it's not Hill's decision, it's the decision of the coaches and medical staff. And the coaches won't take unecessary risks with the guy whom the just named the season's starter.

So we may see a Nate Davis show Saturday. Damon Huard is in his 14th season, and the coaches pretty much know what they've got in him. Davis' potential is more intriguing, and he's taken most of the practice snaps since Hill was excused with the strained back.

Davis led the 49ers on three scoring drives late in Saturday's game against the Raiders, and obtained a quarterback rating of 103.2. We may get a chance see if Davis can do that against NFL starters instead of training camp third-stringers.

If our starters play 3 quarters, as I've seen said, then this should be a game that is well in hand by the time they leave the game.

That said i wasn't sure if they'd play the starters that long or not since they played them for the entire first half last week. I'd like to see them go 3 quarters though and then use the final preseason game to pretty much rest them and see what the backups have in them.

I hope Sam Bradford is going to enjoy playing in San Fran next year. At least he will have his conference mate Crabtree to throw to after he is drafted #1 over-all by the 49ers.

Hill is a pretty solid QB.

I concur.

Not sure why the rest of you disagree. The guy is 7-3 as a starter with a less-than-stellar supporting cast. Career completion % of 64.0 with a QB rating of 90.5, not to mention a 2-1 TD/INT ratio (18 TDs, 9 picks).

He's actually been better than "solid". Those numbers are very good.

And again, he plays for the 49ers.

Sounds like a bad case of Ware-itis has hit the city by the Bay.
