Yessir, you are correct. Wrong choice of wording on my part. Measurables/attributes would have been the better choice of words.

Everyone talking so much about a players measurables is exactly why all of the focus on the combine has made this process wirk.

More talk about height and speed rather than what a guy dies on the field.

If you think Ron Rivera would take up a roster spot for a "charity case" then you don't know much about him. 

 

 

Bersin earned everything he got last year. Had the best hands in camp. It was all merit based. 

 

That's the problem sometimes with this coaching staff.  Just because they beast in training camp doesn't mean they deserve to be on the roster.  Case in point Armanti Edwards, Byron Bell, I could go on and on, one way or another you have to have talent and it shows on the football field.  Bersin will always be a number 4-6 receiver.  Stephen Hill has the talent to be more, will he?  Probably not, then again, the Jets are a poo hole of a team and do waste talented players.

I think Stephen Hill will suprise a lot of people and silent doubters. Let's retrace his career, he was a VERY raw prospect coming out of college and everyone knew this. He goes to the Jets in the 2nd round. Quite possibly the worst landing spot for a raw WR that needs real development and coaching. He had a mess at QB and despite all this he still put up over 500 rec yds and 5 TDs as a rookie with Mark Sanchez.

Give him an entire year an off season with Proehl and a chance for him to learn this offense and he could do great things. The fact he hasn't been cut yet is a good sign. He has the size and speed of Calvin Johnson and Proehl is his WR coach. I think he will suprise a lot of people

 

Bingo...I fully agree with your assumption.

The definition of a practice squad player is to help players on the 53 man roster get reps in practice. Hill is there so Anderson and Webb can get throwing reps and stay sharp for that week's game. Hill is also good for Melvin White, Carrington Byndom , and Robert Lester to practice their cover techniques on taller WRs. That's what Hill is getting paid for.

 

If he happens to start becoming a better WR in practice by not dropping balls thrown to him and starts making the same pre-snap reads as the QB and properly adjusting his route based on that read, then the coaches would start considering giving him playing time. Your speed and height don't mean jackpoo in the NFL if you can't consistently be where you're supposed to be and keep dropping the ball when you are.
