Buh bye Stephen Hill

[MechaZain]

Folks quick to hammer the nails in the man's coffin. Reminder that we're not exactly set at WR and things were looking up.

Stephen Hill was cited as in he got a ticket? he wasnt arrested? I would hate for someone to lose their job over something so simple and dumb and he wasnt even high.

He won't lose his job because he was caught with 2 grinders and a bowl.

 

He will lose his job because he is not good at it, and got arrested 2 days before training camp.  Let Olsen or Cam get the same ticket and see what happens.

[Paintballr]

Dumb being the operative word. Do we want to retain really dumb people?

I don't think the NFL turns out the brightest of people....not saying it never happens but I'd be willing to wager that majority of which wouldn't be able to complete normal college courses and keep at the same expectation of John Doe...

[csx]

Seriously though. This is bullshit and weed should be legal. This could have happened to quite a few high-value Panthers.... goin to jail/court for weed? Really?

He didn't get arrested and isn't gong to jail. Don't make tthings up.

Finally we can end the debate.

 

Pot is NOT a "performance enhancing" drug.

 

Thank you for that Stephen.

We kept Alexander, so I don't know why we would cut Hill.

Talent, for one.

[Hogmolliesmaht]

Legal or no, big deal or not, why don't these players have enough sense to keep this stuff at home? Why do you absolutely have to have it in your car?

We also worked out a receiver yesterday, despite being at 90 players again.

Lomas Brown, now an ESPN analyst, claims at least 50 percent of NFL players likely smoke marijuana, according to a report in the Detroit News

"I just don't think you'll be able to curb this," Brown told the newspaper.

In Brown's eyes, this is actually an improvement. Brown claims up to 90 percent of players league-wide smoked marijuana when he began his career with the Lions in 1985.

It falls in line with some recent findings:

Four out of 10 draft-eligible prospects from the 2012 class failed at least one school-administered drug test for marijuana; two in 10 failed multiple times, per a CBS Sports report from April.

"About 70 percent" of prospects at the combine admitted to using marijuana, per an ESPN report.

A 2009 report by the NCAA stated 26.7 percent of all football players admitted using marijuana over the past 12 months, the highest number of any athlete group they surveyed.

Lets be real people. Cut the dude some slack.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

is anybody really slamming him for smoking or is it just the fact that he was driving around with paraphernalia when he's essentially subject to a search at any time if a cop feels like pulling him over

this is something that would have been pretty easy to avoid

What exactly hs Hill accomplished to earn "slack"?

@AllisonWSOC9: Just in: Concord PD tell @wsoctv officers cited @Panthers Stephen Hill with drug paraphernalia charge after traffic stop

Not smart for a dude on the fringe.

I didnt make things up. A citation means you're going to court. A forward slash (/) means or in the english language. Have a nice day.

I can guarantee he's accomplished more on the football field than you could dream of. He also got cited for doing what half of all NFL players do on a regular basis. It's basic human empathy.
