49ers trade Shaun Hill to Lions

[Kevin Greene]

Niners-Lions make a deal for Shaun Hill

The 49ers have agreed to trade quarterback Shaun Hill to the Detroit Lions for a seventh-round draft pick in 2011, according to a league source. Hill, who was 10-6 as the 49ers starter, finished the season behind Alex Smith on the depth chart. The 49ers recently signed a new backup quarterback in David Carr. The Lions offensive coordinator, Scott Linehan, is familiar with Hill having coached him in Minnesota. Linehan also was the Rams head coach in 2008. Hill and the 49ers swept the Rams that season.

The Lions are clearly loaded to make a run. Watch out NFL.

Carr in San Franisco seems like a natural fit. He can have a nice, colorful array of gloves in his closet. Somehow I bet he sought the 49ers out an not vice vesra.

I know you're being sarcastic, but I really do think they're making some wise decisions. I could see them winning maybe six games next year.

Hey, that's an improvement, right?

How can a team be so bad?

Wait till the 2010 Carolina Declawed Panthers take the field.

lions didnt have a backup on their roster, and certainly would be stupid to draft a QB later in the draft to have him back up stafford. good move by them to pick up a vet QB...although they couldve gotten a better one in FA.

Ima say the same thing to this thread that another huddle member said to one of my previous threads, How is this Panther related?
