RR not ruling out calling up Hill

[panthers55]

There has to be another reason Hill isn't on the roster other than his drops.

Our entire wide receiving corp has struggled with drops, so I refuse to believe that is the primary reason for his sustained position on the practice squad.

Is Hill running the wrong routes in practice, is he a bad blocker, does he not understand the playbook, is there no chemistry with him and Cam?

I haven't the slightest idea, but I refuse to believe that drops are keeping him off the active roster after what we've seen from our wide outs this year.

So you don't know what the problem is but it can't be drops. Typical huddle response. Already have your mind make up with no information to back it up.

And I don't trust this staff anyway. They're known for keeping talent on the bench.

Or maybe this staff is good at not putting people out there until they are ready to,perform. Rivera has started more rookies than Fox ever did. He started Cam when folks said he wouldn't be ready to start for 2 years. Since you don't see anything but the games you have no clue who is showing out or struggling in practice. To assume that Rivera would just keep,players on the bench because he has no clue about their potential is rather ridiculous. It assumes that he has no decision making in the process of picking the guy in the first place. Given his success over 30 years I really doubt that is true.

I heard that Hill banged Newton's wife and that's why he hasn't been called up. Catching a football is easy.. the thing is huge. I'd say he just isn't getting the offense down and running the right routes.

I still don't see how Bersin gets a jersey over Hill.... is he that bad?

 

According to the people who have actually watched them in practice...

 

 

Yes.

In theory it is not a bad idea if Philly can't go.

Need at least one speed guy on the field

 

Yes. regardless of the hands, they cannot ignore his speed.  He may not catch a ball, but Olsen gets 100 yards and KB catches 8 passes because they had to roll a S over.

You have to respect the deep threat.  All it takes is one catch to change the game.

[Jase]

he's valuable at least as a decoy if philly doesn't play.

 

Maybe we can call Odell Beckham to see if Hill can borrow his special sticky gloves for a week.

new thread will get started on the tweet that he is travelling with team in less than 15 minutes

Why the fascination with Hill? We saw what he brings to the table last season with Ginn. He'll blow by everyone and drop a perfect 40 yard bomb from Cam. Again. And again. And again.

 

And Benjamin does the same thing. With no Philly, we have no speed. Deandre is on IR and I don't know of any other speed guys stashed away. Without a speed guy our offense will be stopped too often. They will load the box and stop the run and man up which means Cam will have to hold the ball longer than he needs to. We need someone to hold their secondary at bay and none of our current receivers will do that.

Hill?

Bwhahaha! Our offense is screwed.

Laugh all you want, Ginn dropped a lot of balls last year, but the threat that he might get past the defense made teams play us differently. We don't need Hill to do anything spectacular, but he's faster than any WR we have including Brown and it ain't close. All of a sudden you line him out wide and those safety's can't just peak in the backfield. Line him up and run him straight down the field the first play and if he gets a step throw him the ball. Doesn't matter if he catches it, it's a different ball game after that.

Exactly, people act like he's some undrafted guy that never played before.
