Mike Singletary announced in the wee hours of the West Coast morning that Troy Smith will start at QB this Sunday against the Broncos. It took a whole 13 passes and less than two quarters for Singletary to realize that Carr was not the answer. Fans piled on Alex Smith for inaccuracy and chanted for Carr. They got what they wanted and then they saw that his beyond repair throwing motion makes Alex look like Peyton Manning.
Carr was a McCloughan signing (I am starting to see why the Niners fired him). Which makes me wonder why is he still on the roster? Troy Smith was new to the team and obviously the coaches are not as enamored with Nate Davis as fans are, but it sounds like they are even less so with Carr. Why keep him?
Now Troy Smith gets the start. He has some things going for him and against him. It can't get any worse right? Everyone raves about his intangibles. He did win a Heisman so he has skills. Although Heisman winning QB's don't exactly have a great track record in the NFL. Especially six foot, two hundred pound ones (Hello Eric Crouch). He also hasn't taken a game snap in two years.
One thing has been abundantly clear this year for the 49ers. It doesn't matter who is playing QB if the coaches continue to hamstring them.
