Now lets Bench JT

What benefit do we get from starting Hill? It’s the same offense after all and he lacks the deep arm.

Singletary has the offensive experience? Buh?

If anything, I think the first changes that really need to be made are defensively. I like the notion of benching Mark Roman and putting in Dashon Goldson, and maybe looking at the cornerback situation in regards to Walt Harris. I’d rather see them shore up the defense than worry too much about the offense.

My mind was boggled after Sunday’s game when I looked at the stat line for JTO and saw he completed 58ish% of his passes and threw for like 9.1 yards per play. I was amazed! Now if the dude could learn to a) throw the ball away or at least throw it quickly and b) learn to grip the ball so it doesn’t come loose every damn time you’re hit, then we’d be in better shape. I definitely don’t think JTO is the answer at quarterback for this franchise, but QB is one position where I really don’t think we’re going to benefit from a change.

I am just curious, since when did the head coach, become the head motivational speaker.. I am not that old but i do remember an era, where the head coach was the Guru and his staff were his minions.. the players where the soldiers, taking orders.. Is Mike Singletary a GURU?? not sure.. This franchise is doomed, i picked them to win 3 games this year, at first i thought i had severely under estimated the team, but as they say, time reveals all, and it seems 3 wins may be a stretch.. I hate the Yorks!! cant stand the Yorks!! They are the worst, please sell the team!! please!! oh wait, build a new stadium and then sell the team!! The Yorks are the worst ever, another example of bad ownership ruining a good franchise, lucky for the they got Al Davis across the bay to make the look good..

I feel better….I am not the only incoherent fan here

I’m close to jumping on this bandwagon here – I know we keep hearing poor “reports” about Hill being able to do anything with Martz’s offense, but after what he did for us last season I really don’t see why we can’t just give him a chance – he made some pretty good plays.

But the one thing that is keeping me in the “keep starting JTO camp” is the good that we’ve seen so far. It’s just that these turnovers have got to stop. Singletary knows it. Martz knows it. And O’Sullivan has got to know it. If they continue, like oh say, in this Seattle game – then fuck it, start Shaun Hill. But if these turnovers can be contained, and JTO actually completes the passes that are currently interceptions – then we’ve got something pretty cool going all of a sudden.

I was against JTO starting in the first place. Having said that, I have to admit, he has done some good things at times. However, the amount of turnovers is unexcusable. The Niners are just not good enough to overcome being shot in the foot multiple times a game by JTO. What good is 200 yards passing, if the turnovers end up killing drives. Honestly, I’m not much of a fan of Hill. Hill can’t throw it very far, but maybe he can throw it to someone wearing crimson and gold.

After listening to Singletary today things will be addressed. Such as turnovers. I’m good with that. You turn it over you will pay.

these players will be challenged to there core. so if jto’crappavin keeps giving up the ball he will get benched and i feel he has 2 games at the most to prove hes not going to keep doing that. with that in mind they won’t be any worse sticking hill in there. atleast he as some ball security. and keep in mind hes tied with jtosuck with wins…so can’t go wrong with putting him in.

Let’s tape hundred dollar bills to the pigskin during practice drills and whoever gets JTO to, well, TO, gets the cash. We’ll end up with a smarter QB either way, whether the jersey says “Hill” or “O’Sullivan”, the only difference will be how much richer Bamm-Bamm gets.

by all this anti-JTO feeling. It’s like everybody thinks he is the sole reason for all the problems the team is having. Now,coming fromand living in England, I admit I do not have the depth of knowledge of the game that you guys have, not having grown up with the game and not being privy to the day-to-day media coverage and analysis.
 
I’m sure you guys will shoot me down on this but, as far as I can see, the problems are with the o-line. Having watched the games, it seems to me that JTO is being and pressured on virtually every play. This surely is down to the fact that the o-line is not giving JTO the time and protection he needs.

How often have we seen JTO flushed out of the pocket and run in order to buy himself the time he and his receivers need? And of the receivers, are they running their routes or making themselves open effectively enough?

I know the point has often been made that he has been a backup for 6yrs and is therefore not good enough, but it seems to me that he has shown plenty of potential. One thing I do know for sure is that the best way for him to learn is by playing games, and he has now only played seven, and it will take time and patience is therefore needed.

I realise this will incense many of you, but I believe that many of the turnovers JTO has made have underlying causes…they are the product of constantly being hurried,pressured and ultimately sacked throughout the game,this leads to JTO’s decision-making being affected as the game progresses.I do believe that the play calling has not helped – we do not run the ball anywhere near enough times and we try deep passes far too often for my liking. I could be wrong on this, but it seems to me that a fair number of the turnovers comes when we the game is slipping away momentum wise, or we are simply chasing the game-perhaps fooch can show some stats on this.

Our complete lack of a pass rush from the defense, does not help this situation as I believe the offense feel they have to get TD’s all the time, in order to stay in the game, and this puts so much pressure on them from the outset.

Up till now, I have stayed quiet and just read everybodies comments and opinions with great interest, but I feel I now have to speak up in JTO’s defence – and to get it off my chest. There, I’m off my soap box now, and await the barrage…

Well sometimes when he’s not fumbling. JTO is a backup, he never thought he would be the starter. He has proven that he is only good for 4-5 series and then its like he can’t function. He does a poor job at reading D and throws into the teeth of the opponent. We need a change now. Jed York said we have not been outplayed….which I agree, but at QB we need to think alittle more and make quicker, smarter decisions if we are going to win. He(JTO) makes our Martz O too damn predictable.
