Sign Stephen hill you assholes

I just dont understand how we wont atleast put Hill on the practice squad. This makes no sense to me, I look at the list of who we have on the practice squad and its abunch of crap players.

He doesn't have to agree to be put on someone's practice squad. He is probably waiting for a roster spot.

Hill and his agent are too busy blaming the Jets coaching staff for not developing Hill properly.

No focus to see what he needs to work on to get to that next level.. Just feeling entitled by tenure apparently.

I never used the word "can't" I said we don't know. Nothing he's done to this point would suggest that he can tho

He has done plenty to show he may be able to get the job done. Runs great routes, catches the damm ball, even has some wiggle after the catch. Just because he isn't the fastest guy, does not mean he can't get the job done.

Not every quality WR is fast you know. Doing the little things that make you effective is just as important.

Except work his way up from a tiny college to a NFL camp to a practice squad to a regular roster.

Aside from that, yeah, nothing.

I have to disagree with you Hubby. You just described a different WR who would not simply be cut.

Here is an article From the National Football Post describing why Hill was simply overdrafted as a player..great athlete but...

Stephen Hill’s agent complains

Shortly after it was announced that the New York Jets were waiving third-year wide receiver Stephen Hill, it was reported that his agent, Alan Herman, claimed it was the Jets’ fault that Hill didn’t develop.

When I first read the report, I thought, “This is nonsense.” Alan Herman is an excellent agent, but I feel he is off base on this one.

Back in June, when I wrote my Jets season preview, I stated that Hill was in trouble. It was news all over the league that the Jets were going to either try and trade Hill or release him. Basically, he didn’t turn out to be the player they thought they were drafting back in 2012.

Yes, a coach’s job is to try and develop each of his players, but it is also the player’s job to work at part of that development. Some players are great athletes but they aren’t great players. They are missing something when it comes to reaching their potential. It could be instincts or work ethic, hands, etc. I was never in the Jets camp, so I can’t say for sure. I do know from watching tape that Hill is an average player at best. He doesn’t run good routes, you can’t trust his hands and he lacks a degree of toughness.

With Hill being a second-round pick, it is ludicrous to think the Jets didn’t do everything possible to get him to play to his best. In his two seasons with the Jets he did play under two different coordinators and didn’t develop under either. That’s the Jets fault? I think not.

The only thing you can blame the Jets for is drafting Hill in the second round. If you look back at his college career, you will see that in his final two seasons at Georgia Tech he caught a total of 43 passes. Hill was a rare athlete but not a top player. Scouts were hoping he would develop like Demaryius Thomas who played at Georgia Tech right before Hill. While Hill and Thomas may have had similar athletic numbers, Thomas’ production was far superior. Thomas caught more passes in his final year at Georgia Tech then Hill caught in two seasons.

In hindsight, Hill may have been a second-round athlete, but he was not a second-round player. Herman can’t blame the Jets coaching staff for not developing Hill, but he can blame their personnel department for drafting the player too high. However, I don’t think you will see him do that.

Armanti was a 3rd round draft pick that was never on the practice squad.

Um...I was talking about Bersin in response to boogie's fear that he can't/won't be productive because he hasn't been productive against any #1s. Yet.

Although I do appreciate you giving me reasons to stay away from Hill. Which by the way, I was happy to do anyway.

You would think that if one were going to be a smarty-pants. They would at least get their facts straight. I mean, is it too much to ask for just a little thought to go into a post?

I blame it on the instant media age. Folks are taught to get their thoughts out there in one sentence quotes. Lends itself to idiocy. Damm kids.

Well nevermind then! Lol

The Bersin story is a great story, but we aren't in the storytelling business we are in the football business. If you are going to have a WR4 it might as well be a guy with huge upside instead of the guy that just makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Let's be honest, neither would see the field much this year unless there are several injuries

That was meant to be tongue in cheek.

Just to be clear, this is the Brenton Bersin that couldn't beat out Armanti Edwards for a roster spot the last couple of years right?
