Caplan: Stephen Hill trying out for Panthers today

[KendrickPanther]

I think what it shows that, as LaFell got relied on more(big jump in targets) and he started dropping ball more frequently.

 

Hill had slightly more targets and was able to cut down on his ridiculous 13% drop rate.

 

For comparison, in 2012 AJ Green had a 9% drop rate but he had 168 targets.

 

I would caution against trying to find trends in such small sample sizes. When you say 69 targets. That means a drop is moving the rate 1.44%. You really can't take much from that. 

 

At the eye test guys like Ginn and Lafell had very costly drops.

I think he would thrive with Cam. Just a hunch, but he can be used in that same role as Ginn, who also had some bad drops last year, but also had big plays

[Dex]

Hill is very good blocker too. That is a positive to his game coming from that option offense at Georgia Tech

That wasn't a jab at Hill I was speaking solely about Lafell. I know the offense Hill came from and it was essentially Shula ball with moar running.

johnathan baldwin is available hes a big athletic target needs coaching though...

? All I said was Hill cut down his ridiculous drop rate and he did...

the only thing that concerns me is Cam throws fuging laser beams. He has a little bit of touch but he rifles like favre.

 

the only saving grace for Hill would be having ricky. If the organization feels he's worth it ill trust them. I do want Hill because it's exciting to have someone that big and that fast (seemingly).

 

if the org feels that he wouldn't work here i'm not going to get upset. i trust their judgement.

That is overblown, but I'm not gonna turn this into a Smitty discussion. I am not going to change my mind that our corps as it is presently constituted is better minus 89.  Now get someone in here that can actually compliment Benjamin, or actually push him for the WR1 position, then I may change my mind (not Saying that Hill is or isn't that guy).

 

I don't think so, and Smith came out and said it a while back.

 

 

The O needed to lose at least 1 mouth, if not 2 from last season for Cam to be able to take over as it's leader.  Will Cam do that, we don't know, but it had to be done.

So how good must the Jets WRs be?

You do know his agent was Proehl's former agent and specifically stated he hoped the Panthers would claim him and that Proehl "could do wonders for Hill," right?

 

I did not. That makes me feel good about it. Thanks.

Why everybody keep saying this? He had a couple, 3 at the max deep balls that went through his hands not actually touched his hands. Never once last year the ball went into Ginn chest or directly in his hands and he dropped it

lots of you need to be lining up to s my d

The boogster if this wasn't happening:

'You've got a guy like hill just sitting out there and gettleman isn't doing anything at a clear position of weakness1!!'

[UNCrules2187]

I did not. That makes me feel good about it. Thanks.

 

Yeah Person reported it (amazing as that may sound lol):

 

Stephen Hill's agent says he hopes CAR puts claim in 4 Stephen Hill. "Ricky Proehl could do wonders w/ Hill."-Alan Herman, who repped Proehl

Plus, he wont be expected to be our 2nd or even 3rd receiver. Not even 4th really if you count Olsen.
