Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera thinks Stephen Hill ready to help

[caatfan]

If he's not "ready to help" when the season starts, get rid of him. He's not a rookie.

They sent him to play in Japan to work on his skills

If the football thing doesn't work out, Asiana can always use another sushi chef.

Someone please help me understand the fascination with Hill. I get people wanted him activated last year because of his speed, but now we have Brown and Ginn. Both of them are better than Hill. I don't see Hill as a #2. He is another Jarrett. I'd rather have King back on the PS.

So he could learn from the great Nakamura.

Coaches will always backup their players to the Media.

Also Sione Fua, Legedu Naanee, Seyi Ajirotutu and Antoine Cason.

You're killing your father, Larry!

No crust

All I can say is that I am equally as enamoured with Hill as any receiver that we have not named Benjamin. Take that whichever way you like, but I think you know what I mean.

As for specifically answering your question about people's fascination, it's pretty easy. They dream of his upside. They are hoping the measurables will productively translate to the field.

Love to hear it, as I said before, Stephen Hill has the size and speed of megatron

 

What?  No he doesn't.  Johnson is much, much more well-built than Hill, allowing him to out-muscle DBs relatively easy.  

 

Stephen Hill really isn't as fast as some people think he is.  It doesn't translate on the field (maybe because he isn't a good route runner, which means he is indecisive and slow in and out of his breaks).  Similar to how De'Anthony Thomas ran a 4.5 but will dust people on the field.

He will be the fastest waterboy rhe organization has ever had

[Riverboat Ron]

Anything under a 2000+ yard receiving, 20 td season would be disappointing for the legend Stephen Hill on this board. 

[Jeremy Igo]

Will be interested to see if Hill catches most of the balls coming his way in OTAs in May.

Tape the playbook to his tv...and keep him on the jugs machine 6 hours a day to training camp begins and then I'd be a little more optimistic.
