Shaun Hill is starting for the Lions this week and probably a few more weeks while Stafford recovers. I don’t know his game. Tell me about him. Strong arm? Good runner?

Weak arm, but pretty accurate on short throws. Not really a runner, but will [sell himself out to make a first down](http://articles.sfgate.com/2008-11-13/sports/17128476_1_tight-49ers-frank-gore). He’ll look ugly throwing, but make some veteran plays, avoid turnovers (only 2 INTs in 155 pass attempts last year), and be a good interim leader.
