My favorite is Willis 100%. He would run away with it, If our team won consistently. But even with Willis being outstanding, and Gore being awesome, the team only wins with Shaun Hill. If the vote was for “who would be the last player you would ever trade from the team?” I would vote for Willis. Even if we had average play at QB, and could reach .500, Willis would clearly be the winner. But the NFL is a QB league, and I’m not saying that We couldn’t possibly find someone better than Hill, but if the season were to start right now, he is our MVP. If Alex Smith were the clear starter, he would be our MVP. Good or bad, the QB is usually the MVP of every team. If the QB sucks, your team sucks. If your QB is good, you have a chance. And I don’t want to think of The Ravens and Bucs amazing earth shattering defenses for the Niners to be like. Those are one year wonder performances. We in Niner country should always be in dynasty mode. But first we need a QB that gives us a chance every year, and right now that is Hill.

UR BIASED AND A JERKOFF FOOCHHH HOW COULD YOU NOT PUT ALEX SMIITH ON THIZZ LISZZSTT?!?!?! HE WILL BE THE STRTERR THIS SEEEZON AND THE MVP OF THE HOLE NFL!!!!!!!!!!!!

because if he doesn’t play, teams don’t fear the 49ers. He hasn’t missed a game yet, but if he did, you see a lot more carries to other team’s RB, and a lot more drag routes over the middle.

Willis the heart of the defense. The most valuable, the most feared, and the most incredible.

Justin Smith is a close second.

Frank Gore rounds out the top 3, but is closely followed by Heitmann (who is, to say the least, very reliable).

Although not in my opinion a candidate, he deserves more recognition at this point than Marvel Smith does.

I love Willis, Gore, Haralson, Lewis, Heitmann, Bruce, and Justin Smith rocks

but I have to agree with CW30 and say that all these guys could kick ass and go to the pro bowl while the 49ers are repeatedly losing under the likes of J.T. O’Sullivan, Alex Smith, or yes, probably even Damon Huard

Shaun Hill is our MVP right now because he’s shown us, for the first time, that we can win, again and again

- unlike some other QBs I know, Hill manages to win even behind a collapsing offensive line, avoiding too many sacks and turnovers, and accurately getting the ball to Bruce and Co.
- he has this leadership thing down, where keeps the team fighting – I just can’t remember anyone doing that since Steve Young (even during Jeff Garcia’s best years, I just didn’t get the “we’re still going to rock this joint even though we’re 3 touchdowns behind” vibe from him) – maybe it’s just me, but Hill’s got it down
- do you remember O’Sullivan or Smith scrambling out of a destroyed pocket, and fighting his way for the first down even if it means running through a DT? (maybe my memory’s bad and Smith did that sort of thing in ‘06, I don’t really care) that’s exactly how Shaun Hill captured the hearts of SF fans
- basically, when it all comes down to it – we’ve suddenly got a player who makes the difference between the 49ers being a team with a couple awesome players that keeps losing, and to a team with a couple awesome players that wins – as much as I love ‘em, Gore and Willis did their own ass-kicking in spite of whether Turnovers O’Sullivan was losing the game or not – Hill’s the guy that’s making the difference right now and giving us wins (I’m not saying he does it all by himself, or even that he’s a great QB, not even sure if he’s a better QB than Garcia was yet – but this is about most valuable player)

and that’s why, for right now anyway, I think he’s the most valuable single current asset we have on our team

(of course, if you didn’t include the qualification “player”, I’d say Mike Singletary is the current most valuable asset we have on the team)

49ers Current MVP: Obvious or a little more subtle?

oh yeah, so it’s obvious

(Again, I’m think MVP in terms of wins. MVP in terms of $$$ is Frank Gore.)

P. WILLIS!!!!!!

I’m thinking between Willis and Hill. I love Frank Gore but the Martz pretty much ruined Gore’s season last year. He could gotten 500+ more yards with a different OC. But, Hill manages the game. He doesn’t try to do anything fancy he just gets the job done and picks up the W. And Willis. He gets the job done every time. Willis is the heart of the defense and with him the defense will only get stronger. Willis gives the other team something to fear (Brad Smith doesn’t even want to come back to SF). I would have to say Willis is our MVP because every since he has came we have been better defensively and I think we are definitely heading into a stout defensive unit (Willis, Spikes, Smith, Lewis, Clements, Haralson etc)

BREAK OUT YEAR Heard it first here
