Caplan: Stephen Hill trying out for Panthers today

One thing that concerns me here. His agent basically blamed the Jets organization, Quarterbacks, and offense. Is he going to want his client in a Mike Shula offense with an injured starting Quarterback? If a high octane offense gives him a call he will put his client in the best position to succeed.

Or he could go to the team with the worst perceived WR group in the league, where he thinks he may have a better chance to play.

For what it's worth, Jonathan Jones thinks Philly Brown is the guy in danger if Hill is signed, not Bersin.

I still say it could easily be another position. Gettleman isn't a 'position quota' guy.

Who returns punts then? It feels like Philly is untouchable right now

I think WR is already thin with only 5 guys on the roster. I would advocate getting rid of one of the marginal OL guys over Philly, as I'd rather not have Cason be a starting CB and our PR as well.

Stephen Hill is the one player that i kept scanning the waiver wires to see who would pick him up the day he was released,hoping we  would do it instantly if he fell to us..

Since we didn't, this is the next best thing and if Ricky Proehl and the coaching staff see fit to keep him in hopes of  helping Hill improve the talent he already has, then it will certainly be alright with me.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
