Quarterback Rank: #26
Overall: #115
Hill wasn't the 49ers starter at the beginning of last season but grabbed the role halfway through the season and didn't look back. He completed 63 percent of his passes and had 15 total touchdowns to eight interceptions. He also had at least 210-passing yards in seven of nine games. But that was in Mike Martz's offense, a pass-happy offense. That won't be the case this year, which will hurt Hill or whoever is starting for the 49ers. Hill will get a chance to start, but nothing will be handed to him. Hill doesn't have the best arm, but has proved to be very accurate and does a good job of hitting his receivers in stride. If he has a knock, it is trying to force some throws.

If he wins the starting job, Hill has some value but don't overvalue him based on last year's stats. He won't come close to that with Martz gone. |
