I think we have started the past few years with only 5.

Every year except for 1 we've carried 6. With the huge amount of talent we have this year I see us carrying the same.

If he continues to impress the staff and Ricky Proehl in particular I could see him making the roster and getting some playing time. Honestly tell me what Philly brings to the table that Hill doesnt beat in spades.  Hill is 6' 4" and runs a 4.34.  That is crazy fast for such a big receiver.

If he makes the roster, and then makes a few plays during the season, he could easily threaten several guys on the depth chart.   I'm not making predictions or anything, but a physical freak like him, that can now play well(hypothetical), is easily your #2 at worst.

Idk if you can change the dropsies. If in a game, he shows his hands is a threat then we'll have something but at this moment we don't need two ted ginns. Drops hurts momentum and scoring

[chknwing]

whose throwing to him, Cam or Anderson. Yes I think that makes a difference.

I'll believe it when I see it but Proehl is the right man for that challenge. If anyone can correct Hill then it's Proehl

At the moment Philly has the edge in at least catching the ball and route-running, two pretty important WR skills. That said, we haven't seen Hill on an NFL field in 3 years and he may have improved immensely (as Jeremy is intimating). Until he does it on the field though Philly has the advantage by default.

Seems strange to be reading this since last year........."we ain't got no wideouts!"

On the other hand the NFL stands for not for long. Gettleman has shown he isn't afraid to make changes and put in who he thinks it best. Last year Boston thought his job was safe and was replaced by Coleman. Philly better play like his job depends on it because it does. Hill has more starting NFL experience than Brown does.

The WR competition is going to fun to watch. It's going to give us another reason to watch our Preseason games, trying to decide who we thinks makes the 53.

[CPantherKing]

Stephen Hill is Cam Newton's personal pick.

Not sure what all the fuss is over Hill's drops. He fits right in with KB, Funch and Ginn. Panthers no longer want the receivers who can catch 60% of their passes. If a receiver can catch at least 40% of their passes, then they are in as long as they are big or fast.

Whomever we keep, Key Garrett better be a part of this team.  Something tells me we won't let that kid get away.  No bullshit IR waiver so Belichick can grab him up like he did Gaffney.
