Caplan: Stephen Hill trying out for Panthers today

[Jeremy Igo]

Is it guaranteed that Bersin is the guy who gets cut?

There are other roster spots that could be dropped.

 

Good point.

 

 

Now that some other OT's were plucked off of waivers... maybe Foucault is set to make it through?

[kepickle]

problem is if Ricky Proehl turns Hill into a good WR how can the Panthers keep him long term ?  

How can we keep Ricky long term ?

[Jmac]

At least they finally brought someone in to check out.

[jayflip]

All for it.

rather have a not so dynamic guy that can run his routes and catch the ball when thrown to him rather than a really fast guy who can "take the top off a defense" but drops what is thrown to him with regularity.

i'd rather have a guy who took it on himself to better himself every year over a guy who just sits back and blames the coaches for not getting better.

 

According to sportingcharts.com, Stephen Hill dropped ONE pass last season.

Why are we assuming he would replace Bersin? Philly Brown is extremely replaceable. Cason can return punts if necessary. 

[ed bell]

No way he's looking for a Practice Squad slot.

 

Remember what Gettleman and Rivera have said about trying to always churn the bottom of the roster.

Put him on the PS and let proehl work with him, see if we can get anything out of him

I was really happy for Bersin when he made the team, but if we grab Hill he will prob push him to PS. Bersin has been reliable in pre-season, but that is why we brought in Cotch and Avant.

Bersin could be kept for red zone purposes, but that's why we got Cotch, Dixon, and KB. Then add Swole to that and it is looking bad for Bersin. (As much as i hate to admit it) Whatever is best for the team though, and I think that may be Hill. As a 4th receiver he could flourish. IMO.

If Steve Smith doesn't "deserve" anything, Bersin doesn't either. Bersin is going to get a great paycheck this year whether he catches a pass or not. I like the guy a lot, and hope and expect him to contribute, but this is a business, nothing personal.

[Mr. Scot]

Side Note: Would the people continually suggesting that the team isn't doing the best they can to build a winner like to talk about how this fits their take?

[Jmac]

No way Bersin to PS again...Brown to PS and kick him punts for the next 16 weeks till he gets it.Steve Smith just can't leave this huddle....please let it go.

poo attitude. Pass.

[AceBoogie]

Looks like we aren't as good at WR as some of you would like to believe.

[top dawg]

poo attitude. Pass.

 

Since when does Stephen Hill have a poor attitude?
