I don't know if it's been said or not cause I haven't read any thread entries so here's my take.

1- I had high hopes of Hill actually making this team and being a solid contributor.  I realize this wasn't/isn't popular, but I think this is a HUGE hit to our Offense whether you believe it or not.

(If he were simply fodder, they would have canned him after the bowl incident, and further Gettleman himself was right there checking out the severity of his injury) that actually is quite telling and shouldn't be overlooked imo

2- this nearly assures Cotchery and another dark horse WR candidate. I say Cotchery and Bersin both make the squad now.

 

3- Proehl and Rivera have both made points the entire offseason to go out of their way to talk up Hill when they didn't need to. Again I think this bodes well for him

 

4- I feel bad for him and so should you. Here's a guy that gets drafted high, disappoints in NY, is humbled by getting picked up on waivers and basically being a PS guy, has his best chance to prove to himself and the world that he still had it, and rides off in a cart likely knowing that he lost his chance. His chance to prove his worth, and a chance to be apart of a SB winning team. He knows it, just as well as we do. He doesn't know if he'll ever get another shot either, but what he should know is the #58 will be there every step of the way.

 

edit: now that I've read the thread, I think everyone that says "he was on the bubble, let's stash him on the ir for a year" is just wrong.

If he made the team he's definitely insurance for Benjamin or a Funchess injury (that's gone now)

If he didn't, well then at least we knew he wasn't good enough to back either up. The thing is, we won't ever know.

I may be in the minority here, but I think he would have made it and contributed.

      Seahawks or Rams

      I was playing around with the ESPN playoff predictor and it shows if 49ers and Rams finish with same record, the Rams hold the tiebreaker.

      This is my thinking as well. Seattle played as good as they could on defense and Panthers still had a chance until those back to back turnovers.  I don't think the Rams played particularly well in their game against us, alot things went our way in order to win.  Someone pointed out the Rams were bad on the east coast road games and Seattle has been the better road team but they just fought a hard contested game against the Panthers, and now they travel to San Fran this week for their biggest game of the season to determine the division and if they are the overall #1 seed in the NFC or will be traveling for the Wildcard weekend.  If they lose they then travel back cross the country to play a team they've just beaten two weeks ago, not saying they won't be favored against the Panthers but the energy of hosting our first playoff game in 10 years along with the get back effect of having just lost to this team could be huge.

      I don’t know about shadowing and all that, but according to this, whatever we are doing is working
