Golden Nuggets: Nothing New

Morning folks, James here with your Nuggets. Not a lot to report today, still no contract signing from WR Michael Crabtree and still no starting quarterback (for Dallas or for the regular season) as well as Singletary still being displeased with the 49ers pass rush. Not sure how I feel about the 49ers right now, so I can't really voice an opinion on these items. Surprisingly, I don't have a ton of links for you either but we'll make do, eh? Either way, here is what I could find (post up any if you got 'em.) Enjoy the news.

Here is a uh.. partial..game..review? (SFGate.com)

Mike Singletary is not ready to pick a QB. At this point, I seriously don't care. I no longer feel happy with Shaun Hill, and I've never felt happy with Alex Smith. The best I can do is hope Nate Davis gets some playing time, progresses and learns the offense and come next season Jimmy Raye has done enough to stay and we can possibly have a good starter on our hands. (PressDemocrat.com)

So who do you think deserves the job? This article is in support of Shaun Hill. Throw arm strength out the window. (MercuryNews.com)

The optimist in me says that while Hill had a boring game, Smith has boring, or horrible games, on a more regular basis than Hill. QED, start Hill this year.

The play calling only seemed to give Hill a couple things to do, and then it was like the coaching just decided that Coffee was going to own that one and they’d test him to see if he was strong enough to take that many carries all in a row.

We’re finally going to see a little more football that counts against Dallas next week. I’d also suggest that how we rise or lower ourselves to the occasion of playing Denver or Oakland is almost irrelevant for whether we’re playoff competitive this year.
