Shaun Hill Replaces Austin Davis as Rams' Starting QB vs. Broncos

The St. Louis Rams have made another change at quarterback. The initial excitement that surrounded Austin Davis has faded in recent weeks due to some lackluster performances, which has prompted head coach Jeff Fisher to hand the reins back to Shaun Hill.    

Nick Wagoner of ESPN provided comments from Fisher, who confirmed the news:

Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch initially passed along word of the decision Wednesday:

He also provided some insight into the choice:

Davis went through a productive stretch from late September into October. His numbers dropped off over the past three games, however, as he only managed three touchdowns to five interceptions during that stretch.

Hill began the season as the starter in St. Louis after Sam Bradford was lost for the season. He then got injured in the season opener. That's when Davis took over and ended up earning an extended stint leading the offense. But now Fisher has decided to switch back to the original decision.

The veteran faces an uphill battle right away as he tries to help the Rams offense keep pace with the high-powered Denver Broncos on Sunday.
