Caplan: Stephen Hill trying out for Panthers today

Recommended Posts

Keep a 35 year old receiver in decline, overpay for a glorified return man and throw money at a guy who massively underachieved last year...

Yeah...That's a much better plan :unsure:

 

Say what you want about Smitty. He looked like Smitty during the preseason.  He is still on the Panthers' payroll (if you get what I'm saying), and it would have been nice to see him play with Benjamin.

 

Our receiving corps would have looked mch better with him this year than without him.

really?

http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/14910/stephen-hill

2012: 21 catches on 47 targets (45%), 11 games played

2013: 24 catches on 59 targets (40%), 12 games played

to be fair, targets not converted into catches don't often mean drops. lots of reasons for a low completion %.over/under thrown balls, botched routes, blown routes due to coverage, pass break ups, etc.

pff does have him with more drops, though, than the one.

Prior rookies would say working together with Smitty wasn't such a great thing for them.

Given how much is riding on Benjamin, you really wanna take that chance?

He wouldn't be here if he and his agent weren't interested.  

 

Yeah they are. But say the Saints call later today. The Agent would prefer their client on that team. The Saints keep us weak while picking up a prospect. 

 

But all I have is speculation. We know for sure he's here, if Gettleman likes what he sees he can't let him out of the building. In fact Huddlers at Charlotte Douglas, Stephen Hill does not leave Charlotte!

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
