Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera thinks Stephen Hill ready to help

It would be great if Hill would turn into the player that many folks here thought he would be when they argued so vehemently why we should draft him. Maybe with time and with Proehl's tutelage he can turn into a sure handed receiver. He has the size and speed which are 2 qualities you can't coach. Other than desire , everything else can be taught and learned.

That would be great, but all I hear is coach speak as I read between the lines.  Nice to hear that Hill has apparently taken it upon himself to get out of his own way and learn. Hopefully Rivera's positive words will translate to the field.  If it does, then that would go a long way towards my own relaxation.

 

Basically, it sounds like Hill is finally going to get his shot in our receiving corps, and that's a good thing.  Once we actually sign him to an active player contract, then I may get a little excited.

    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep. 
    • Cooter was a good dude for sure. 
    • We both been here about the same amount of time. Whatever happened to Livermush? I know Cooter passed aways years ago...and so many others?
