Warner Visting With the 49ers

The San Fransisco 49ers have already talked about the possibility of signing Michael Vick. While that doesn't look reasonable, they are meeting with Kurt Warner today.

Now I have already talked about how they are giving up on Shaun Hill to soon. And signing Warner would push Hill to the back of the line once again.

First let me give you my opinion on Warner. Kurt Warner is a fine quarterback. Only one problem though, he has only preformed when surrounded by great receivers. In St. Louis, he had Issac Bruce and Tory Holt in their prime. In Arizona he has had Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Bolden. He has only preformed with great receivers around him.

He had his chance with the New York Giants. He wasn't surrounded with top flight receivers and was sub-planted for the job by a rookie quarterback in Eli Manning.

Warner will also be 38 when the season begins. So do they want to give a big contract to a player who is old and has injury problems in the past. Once again the Niners are turning their backs on Shaun Hill.

While I realize Hill isn't the ideal quarterback you want, the guy is a winner. He doesn't have the strongest arm in the league, but the guy is a winner. For heaven's sake, he took Maryland to a BCS bowl game. No other quarterback has been able to do that since.

Niners coach Mike Singletary needs to realize, he wouldn't have had this job if it wasn't for Hill during the stretch last season. Singletary would be an assistant somewhere in the league right now, if it weren't for Shaun Hill.

The Niners and Mike Singletary would be stupid if they turned their backs on Shaun Hill now. For all the things he has done for them, you would think he would get more gratitude. Shaun Hill is the Rodney Dangerfield of the 49ers, he can't get no respect.
