They wanted someone who could push Smith and take over if he crapped the bed, and they finally decided that Hill didn't have the accuracy to work with Davis and Crabtree in more of a spread type offense.

That did ruffle a few feathers, Patrick Willis was pretty upset, but he and Carr talked and smoothed things out. The trade of Hill was to keep him out of the offseason workouts and give him another chance with another team.
