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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By TimeTravelerTep · Posted

      Honestly, it wasn't on him last game. There are many other reasons that come before Bryce. Dave Canales is really starting to worry me. I mean there are glaring issues that can't be excused. I said back when the whole Rico/Chubba thing happened. I said right then that you cannot have a coach that handled those 4 or 5 games the way he did. I get it, most thought that he was trying to throw games, which was not wrong thinking because of how bad it was. The decisions right before half. The strict "Chubba gets this drive and Rico gets the next." It's seeming like a lot of our backups are the better talent, so he cant evaluate talent. Not calling a quarterback sneak because of size. Small quarterback have a different type of advantage, just not as good as a large quarterback, but still doable. Then he doesn't even explain why he didn't put Dalton in there (saying it would give away a quarterback sneak is...just stop). I honestly think he forgot about putting in Dalton. There are so many others that I'd have to re-watch the games to remember.  I could make a whole other post on that defensive game plan...absolutely awful. And a quick petition...see the quote above, can we please ban these weirdos and try to clean this place up. This is peak reddit right here and these losers will destroy the board. I couldn't make it though 3 pages because these morons post more than anyone else. These are the perpetual online freaking weirdos banned from getting too close to schools reddit mod types. Get these losers out of here. You got these freaks posting a ton and not answering the question OP posted ABOUT THE PANTHERS. This is supposed to be about football and this dork constantly tries to attack OP's question. Could you imagine someone in your real life group acting like this? You'd kick his butt out immediately. And you have this reddit loser trying to stop people for posting about the Panthers. Any normal person would just skip the post, but you have to remember these morons base their whole personality on their online persona. They would be banned almost everywhere else. Send him back to reddit, they will be a cancer to this place, trust me. I guarantee you he has more comments than 95% of accounts. These guys are the lowest in society so they live online. Its everything to them. You dont want that. Just read his responses. Do background check on that guy, there are younger people on this too and he probably isn't allowed to be talking to them, or be on here at all.

      Neither of them are getting in. Cam had HOF potential but was squandered by Ron, Shula, and Gettlemen.

      We have attempted several over the past two seasons. Maybe two successful?
