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.

And your evidence for this?

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.

True enough on the starts, but Philly has 7 more catches for 150 more yards and 2 more TDs (22 more catches for 425 more yards and 2 more TDs counting the playoffs as well as the playoff and SB gametime experience) in his 2 years and just came up big in Carolina's playoff run. By no means am I saying that Philly's a lock - I'm saying that Hill has a battle ahead of him and that his on-field showing to date has been less than impressive. If Hill puts it together in preseason, give the man a spot.

A WR on this squad would be welcomed if he dropped 6 out of 10 passes?  Really...

Hill is electric. I do not think Philly Brown start every game this year. 

Love em though.

Bersin has actually contributed on the field in many instances. Hill has not at this point and the jury is still out on if and when he ever will. I recall many times when Bersin pulled in a ball on third down to keep drives going.  Did the job that he was called on to do.

Not saying he didn't...just saying the Panthers have been known to keep projects around.  Even ones with limited abilities.

Ok, the build-up for an NFL ready Hill has hit capacity here.  Haven't seen anything yet, he hasn't done anything in a game.  I'll wait and see when we get more of a look to judge if the kid can finally crack our roster as the 5th WR.  He may look good but we talking 'bout practice.  Sweet summer child.

I have got excited before. Let's see what  happens at TC.

One of the Panthers.com writers recently wrote that Bersin could still be PS-eligible (I suppose under one of the exceptions).  Honestly I could see that.  Bersin makes a GREAT emergency WR for us to call up if someone is injured since he knows the offense so well and has good rapport with Cam. 

As I read that part, I couldn't help but compare Bersin to a side chick that will always accept you, you can always rely on but just can't commit to or brag about in public and you let her know that. She 'plays' alright, cooks decent but you just can't help yourself from thinking that you can realistically do better. 

I'm all up for Hill replacing Bersin, even when Bersin contributed so much over the past years. The upside appears to be greater.

I'm glad to hear he is doing everything he can to be part of a game day roster. The special teams will probably be why he makes the team.

That being said, I'll wait until we can see him in pads, against a real opponent.

I refuse to allow myself to care about Hill yet. The scars are too deep lol

[Ivan The Awesome]

The simple fact he has his eyes on the ball will improve his catch ratio. Before he didn't really focus on the ball. Ricky is an amazing coach. He deserves so much credit.

I'm not sold on Hill until I see him catch passes in a live game.
