    I just really hope he doesn't have a short leash, we all know how delusional Singletary is.

    Wouldn't it be something though if he led the 49er's to 9 straight wins and a playoff birth?
    I said the 49ers would figure things out and win out to make the playoffs and was ridiculed for it. Not so funny meow is it?

    Good call by Singletary...he will succeed in their system
  • royal_k
    I'm happy for him....and, uh....where's mantooth?? He's gotta be in heaven!
  • HitsRus
    Good for him...I'm glad he finally getting a shot.
  • LJ
    currently 11/18 for 192 yards and a td
  • Automatik
    One rushing TD also.
  • Laley23
    Stats were poor in the first half, but he has gotten it going in the second half. My fantasy team (Crabtree) is enjoying the second half turnaround.

    I wouldn't call them poor, just not great. He didn't throw INTs and let the offense revolve around Gore. Managed the game well and looks like they are going to get a nice win.

    Now Mark Sanchez, he's having a poor game, stats and otherwise.

    ^^^Sanchez has regressed this year.

    This is probably true. I let my fantasy bias get in the way since Crabtree didnt have a catch! lol. Either way, when the team needed him in the second half, he has responded with the back to back TD drives.

    Very impressed by Troy's performance today.
  • jordo212000
    uh yeah, I'm going to have to disagree about that whole "Sanchez has regressed this year" haha. He was below average to average last year and basically handed off every play. This year they are balanced and his stats coming into today speak for themselves

    No he hasn't. That's not just me being a homer, either. I don't think he's top tier or anything like that but he's better than last year. He was a turnover machine.
  • sportchampps
    finished with a 115.9 qb rating not to shabby
  • gerb131
    Nice game by Troy and didn't turn the ball over. He deserves another chance and he did it with a gimpy Vern Davis.
  • OQB
    Nice game by Troy today!
  • hoops23
    I said all along that Troy could be a starter in the NFL. He has a nice, accurate arm.

    Would love to see more of him in SF...

    BTW, it he were to throw a TD to Ginn, would they become the first QB-WR duo to score TD's in HS, College, and the NFL?

    That is a pretty neat stat right there!

    The Denver Broncos have become laughable, maybe not even worthy of being an NFL franchise. Lets see how TWHPIH does against an actual NFL defense.

    You mean like he did against the Steelers a few years ago the last time he started a game (and also won it)? Your act is becoming a bit tiring. Still don't know what that word is

    Not seeing it. I know it's not The Worst Heisman Player in History since we're not talking about Gino Torretta or Jason White.
  • thedynasty1998
    The Sanchez comment was stupid. Plus his receivers played very poorly.

    Didn't get to watch the SF game, so I can't really comment on Smith, but I did see the highlights and he looks small.
