If he can read the blitz, not take sacks and keep turnovers down, he can keep the Rams in games. I didn't see the Rams winning another game with Davis at QB. My biggest concern was the rest of the team quitting if Fisher DIDN'T make a change. I was glad to see Fisher give Davis some games to see what we had in him. Now see if Hill is worth keeping around as a #2 next year. Give him at least 4 games to see what he can do.

Did Jeff Fisher make the right call to go back to Shaun Hill? Marc Lillibrigde on 101ESPN’s The Turn.

Really with the Raider, Redskins, and Giants still left??? We beat Seattle with him, and they are better than any of those 3 by far.
It increases our chances since Hill has a better touch with the deep ball. Now it's just a matter of Schotty not calling a Schitty gameplan like leaning on throwing the fucking ball too much. We gotta keep the offense balanced and sustain long drives that will keep our defense well rested while Manning off the field if we want to stand a chance against the Broncos.
Debatable. Hill has turned the ball over a fair bit in his career as well. He just simply had more continuity on offense to get TDs to 'mostly' outweigh them. And winning a lot of games is debatable when we play DEN, SD, ForeSkins, and Hags in Hagsville.
All I will say is to have a chance to win against teams like Denver you need to play mistake free football or close to it. Our chances of playing mistake free football increases a lot with Hill starting. I do think the Rams can win games with him.
I'm not inclined to vote for any of them. Hill MAY be an improvement and I HOPE we can win consistently with him. I just want to see him play and go from there. I'm fine with guessing but I don't get into the second guessing game so I will just hope it was the right decision and pull for Hill like I did Davis.

We need Hill to just be good to average. Austin did more in the last few games to lose than he did to win. Cutting out the stupid mistakes is enough to at least have a shot.
Hill is going to have to get the ball out in 2 seconds or less to have a chance.
Denvers d isn't bad, but it certainly isn't the of the caliber we've faced the past 5 weeks.
The last stretch of defensive fronts have been incredibly tough. Hopefully the oline will be able to hold their blocks for a second or two. Something I haven't seen in weeks.
If they cant, than Hills lack of mobility may be an issue.
Idk. I guess we'll find out Sunday. I'm somewhat looking forward to seeing him play.

The only easy possible wins we have are NY and OAK. Both still pretty bad teams. SD in SD won't be a cake walk. Neither will the Foreskins D make the game easy. Only one blowout loss on the reason. Every other game they've played has been highly competitive, and that was even with TO machine Cousins QB-ing.
The St. Louis Rams will start QB Shaun Hill instead of Austin Davis Sunday versus the Denver Broncos.

I think we can, but I don't think that means we will. Our defense is looking like they will be able to keep up in games, if not win it outright at times. Though facing Denver might be the only "hiccup". I don't think that Hill will lose us any games, but our offense is still has many question marks.
How bad is the offensive line? I think this is the biggest question, we can't run or pass effectively without an oline.
Can we rely on the run game like last year? As for most of the season we have been rather pass heavy, similar to the 1st 4 weeks of last season.
What is going on with Zac Stacy? I was really big on him going into the year and now he's on special teams.
Are the receivers getting open consistently or is the QB not getting it to them? I've seen receivers open a lot, especially on Ints but I can't imagine its all on Davis.
Is it play calling, defensive adjustment, or poor execution that dooms us in the 2nd half? 3rd and 4th quarter scores are keys to winning close games and we don't do it.
Imagine a healthy (indestructible) Sam Bradford with this offense? I generally try to avoid questions like this, but I'm still hopeful.

I will say this is prob one of the best games to see what Hill can do with this offense. If he does decent, there's no way you can say he played against a weak, inferior team or injury plagued team. If Hill ups our offense, I feel he can do it against any team left on the schedule.

With Hill in there. .... we BETTER get that running game on track! and I mean well over 100 yds. per game on track. Hill won't have the mobility to extend plays like Davis does. He's going to need the running game to open PA for him. Davis' problem is blitz recognition and trying to make the "hero play". Love his moxie ... but the kid just needs to mature ... then I think he will be Ok. At least a solid #2
