Reasons to be on the Stephen Hill bandwagon

[Jackofalltrades]

Better than LaFail

He's no longer here...so that really doesn't make any difference.

And it doesn't take much to be better than him

[rscott94]

I don't watch the Jets play unless we're playing them so I didn't see much of Stephen Hill. If you really think route running is his biggest problem then we should definetly sign him because that's what Proehl specializes in. Benjamin/Hill is the perfect combination if the Hill project works out.

I dont want a body catching whining wide receiver that blames everyone but himself.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Btw he did nothing in college compared to Calvin and Thomas. He just got the nod as the next "one of those guys" and had a great combine. Since then he has done nothing Except to help himself be out of a job n a team with avg WRs.

Waiting on a coach to help you just does not make for a great player. ill take my chances with a guy who earns it like Bersin.

Yes it does. If people were willing to give Fail a chance to fail here, there's no reason to give Hill a chance.

[KendrickPanther]

So many body catches. Maybe if we hang on to him long enough the rules wont let Safeties touch him until he's gained possession. 

[raleigh-panther]

The Jets is where receivers go to die

Panthers should sign him. What have they got to lose

Sometimes the answer isn't on the roster

I think our fan base believes in it's own talent way to much. Like that the answers on the roster bell will be fine crap. Like"why sign hill bersin is going to be elite this year" sometimes other teams trash is better than your own. Explore all options.

No, It's not that I or anyone thing Bersin is gonna be an all pro, but he is the first young diamond in the rough we've had in a VERY long time.  Benjamin is gonna be great, but the fact is no matter how good Cotchery or Avant is, they won't be on the team or maybe in the league in 2-3 years.  Bersin is young, and we NEED players to develop with Cam, we've begged for that for years.  This is why if you sign Hill, you don't do it at the expense of Bersin, that would be stupid, and I don't think we would.  You sign Hill, put him as our #5 ahead of Bobble Brown and cut somewhere else on the team and carry 6 receivers which isn't an unheard of thing to do.

panthers roster got a little weird...kept 4 te and 3 qbs.......those are two spots that are open most times..

Bersin has made all but 5 catches in the preseason. While i m optimistic about him i'm not ready to say he's a diamond in the rough. Hill and bersin are two different types of wrs,Hill is a vertical speed threat that we don't have on the roster. While bersin KB,avant,cotchery all are possession guys. I believe the two can coexist on the same roster without cutting anyone or moving to the practice squad. Move philly back down and roll with cason or bene at KR/PR. Honestly philly hasn't done much with his chances but catch a few muff a few and that's no reason to have a strangle hold on a roster spot.

I completely agree with that.  I did mis-speak, I agree that He isn't officially a diamond in the rough, I'd mean moreso to think he has the ability, but he has to get his chance.  Id be more than ok with dropping Philly back to PS or gone frankly and letting Bene or Cason return, we'd get the same results while adding a much more dynamic playmaker.  His size lends itself to Cams weakness and could potentially give us huge young targets all over the field.  3 years down the line with KB as our #1, Hill as our fly guy (#2), and Bersin as our slot with Brandon Williams as our TE gives Cam the assortment of weapons to grow with in his next contract that we've said we needed to give him for years.  If we sign him, you let Dwill/Stew go, address O-line and maybe grab a RB in the draft if Fozzy doesn't show promise (I know...I did actually just said this), and start to lock up our important assets (Cam and start looking at the contract situation for Keek).

He's a pure body catcher. Rarely extend his hand for a ball. But would be great if he came here and turn into a superstar. This off season we could just focus on OL and CB. A man can only dream.
