The Niners don't have the talent @ their offensive skill positions to make this a good hire. When Martz was with the Rams he had Kurt Warner @ QB, Marshall Faulk @ RB and tremendous receivers like Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt. With Detroit, QB Jon Kitna is good, but not even close to Warner in his prime. Kevin Jones @ RB and two potentially great receivers in Roy Williams and Calvin Johnson. I don't think Alex Smith has the arm or skill set to be effective in Mike Martz's offense. That's if he wins the starting job? Shaun Hill did a good job in relief, but it really remains to be seen whether he has the goods to be a full-time starter and he's an unrestrictive free agent. Frank Gore is an excellent running back, but he doesn't catch the ball out of the backfield like Faulk did with the Rams. The Niners don't have the receivers to run this offense. San Francisco must acquire a legitimate number one receiver and someone who can stretch the field.
