Cobb Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Source: ESPN.com SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Alex Smith is the San Francisco 49ers' new starting quarterback.NFC West blog ESPN.com's Mike Sando writes about all things NFC West in his division blog. Coach Mike Singletary made the announcement Monday after sitting down with Shaun Hill, who was benched at halftime of the Niners' 24-21 loss at Houston on Sunday. Smith, who hadn't played in nearly two years, completed his first six passes and finished 15-of-22 for 206 yards and three touchdown passes to tight end Vernon Davis -- and he nearly led the 49ers back from a 21-0 deficit. Smith, the No. 1 overall draft pick out of Utah in 2005, missed last season after reinjuring his surgically repaired throwing shoulder three days before the season opener. Singletary said he doesn't plan to change quarterbacks every week, saying this is not a "flavor of the month" situation.He made his first start against the Colts and this week the 49ers are playing the Colts who are undefeated. Doesn't look really good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
