I wonder why the ignorant haters never responded to these facts.
Shaun Hill was a 49er in 2009 started and played
5.5 games
87-155
943 yards
5 TD 2 INT
18 sacks
Alex Smith comes in the next
4.5 games
95-155
1035 yards
9 TD 7 INT
13 sacks
Now come 2010 Shaun Hill was on the Lions starts and finishes 9 games
he has passing totals of...
222 yards
227 yards
237 yards
258 yards
285 yards
289 yards
323 yards
331 yards
335 yards
257-416 passing and only 17 sacks
Sample size from 3 different QB total over 650 drop backs
Sack rate from 3.9-4.8%
So the O-line is probably good. And the crazy jump in passing from Hill. His pass catchers are probably good.
Those 2 things outside of the QBs control seem to matter. More than just a little too.
