Stephen Hill focused on making the roster

I would love to see Hill make the roster but I don't see us over looking Boykin like most seem to. Guy is a very good mid level receiver. Honestly if we needed a 3rd qb we would be in a lot more trouble than Joe Webb could ever really help and I'm sure we could get him or someone just as capable off the streets.

Webb is the same sort of deal that Kealoa Pilares was. He made a good play for us once or twice, but other than that didn't contribute much during the season. That's the sort of player you keep when you don't have enough competition. We want and need all of our players contributing on game day, not riding for a few more seasons on that sweet tackle he made on special teams.

He's a decent player, but if he gets beaten out it's a good thing.

Predicted WR Depth Chart:

 

Kelvin Benjamin

Devin Funchess

Philly Brown

Ted Ginn

Stephen Hill

Jerricho Cotchery

 

(Joe Webb a cut candidate, Byrd, Lucas to PS, others gone)

People keep adding Cotchery but forget Berson and Philly had more chemistry with Cam than Cotchery did.

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
