Niners Sign Weinke
FNN Staff | Dec 12, 2007 | 22 comments
Chris Weinke signed Wednesday with the San Francisco 49ers, whose top two quarterbacks are hurt.
He has been out of football since the Carolina Panthers released him in March after six seasons, mostly as a backup. The 35-year-old quarterback played six years of minor-league baseball before winning the Heisman Trophy at Florida State in 2000.
Shaun Hill, a career third-stringer, is expected to start Saturday against Cincinnati. Hill had never thrown an NFL pass in six seasons before last Sunday. Alex Smith’s season is over with a shoulder injury, and backup Trent Dilfer isn’t expected to play because of a concussion.

Everyone needs to wake up the forty niners are not going to draft a QB (unless by some freak chance ...
nice list, Myron Rolle(S) im also hoping for. "STEAL OF THE DRAFT". 
I think Donaven or the Qb we will draft with our first pic should have that protection but I feel ...
if i was mike nolan i’d have Michael robinson as my backup to shaun hill vs Bengals…u just neva know he mite turn out to be a good QB thats if hill struggles or gets hurt then..but if u all rememebr M-Rob was a good QB in Penn State..mite as well give him a shot..
oh shit…
i’m better than weinke…
What ever happend to Luke Getsy that rookie q.b.from Akron?it looks like Nolan and comp never gave that guy a chance.
Theres got to be a better quarterback out there?Even a rookie free agent.But i like s.f.49ers idea too.
You got to be kidding me. Chris Weinke that guy won like one game his entire career!
chris weinke????????? my winky has more accuracy!!..but i bet hes an upgrade over trent dilfer…if we keep him then i doubt we draft another QB since we’ll have 5 qbs on the roster… Alex, trent, shaun, Chris and drew olsen…
Yo check this mock draft out.

James Hardy is 6 foot 7. MONSTER!!!!!! Even Alex can’t miss him!
The seond round pick it says is justin king cb from penn st. He is good but we should try to get a linebacker or de or even a Dt
id rather have aaron brooks who’s horrible season with the raiders gave him a higher passer ratting than weinke’s career…plus his carrear rating is 17 more than winky
Man O man…..
At least Robinson knows the plays…..
Or Battle can escape….lol
Weinke going to take us all the way….baby!
Yankee my Weinke!
The way Nolan his hell have Weinke starting over Hill this weekend!!! bcuz he “gives us the best chance to win”
we should do the wild hog formation.
Yeah he only has one win in his career. I checked
We should have signed Aaron Brooks instead of Weinke. At least Brooks has proven he can win. Weinke has only won one game in his career
Wheres the blocking problem for the QB tonight?
Ive been saying it all along, the problem isnt the coach or the OC, it has been the QB. Smith sux, Dilfer is just washed up….
Shaun Hill, welcome to the Niners, i hearby pronounce you…. THE FUTURE!!!!
Ralph Wiggum…
I declare war on thee….
Hell yeah! This post sounds really good. Reading your blog is useful and interesting. Keep it that way.
