Stephen Hill Injury Photos

Stephen Hill went up for a ball that was thrown slightly behind him and landed awkwardly. He did not collide with anyone. 

He immediately grabbed the back of his knee, which made me think it was a ligament torn. I can tell you the amount of pain Hill was in was obvious.

Gettleman came over to check in as the docs worked on him.

Whenever an injury happens, all the players take a knee in a prayer or reflection. All of them know it could be them on any day at any time.

Thomas Davis came over and gave some encouragement. If anyone on the team can offer compassion and understanding for a leg injury, it is Thomas Davis.

Hill was unable to walk on his own and was carted off.

Really tough thing to watch, but it is part of the game and the story of the day. Hopefully Hill can recover and continue his career.

From where I saw it I couldn't see that the ball was thrown behind him as Jeremy said, but it looked to me like he jumped for it and tried to catch it in his body when he didn't need to jump at all. Maybe if it was behind him then he would've needed to jump for it, but I couldn't tell from my perspective. It looked to me like he thought he was closer to the ground than he was and he extended his leg to hit the ground but he was higher up and came down hard on his extended leg. Couldn't tell what happened exactly when it hit the ground, but he crumpled and instantly screamed loud enough for anybody there to hear it. Hoping for the best but it didn't look or sound good at all.

Obviously this sucks, and thoughts and prayers are with Stephen, but it could be a blessing in disguise. He was on the roster bubble this year, so now we can stash him on IR for a year and let him compete to make the team next year, maybe after Cotch retires or Boykin moves on etc.

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
