Voth skeptical on Stephen Hill's status

Black & Blue Review ‏@BlackBlueReview

FWIW, everything I’ve heard so far about Stephen Hill isn’t good. Just not the guy he was. Nice story, but sense is it’s not gonna happen.

 

Sounds like the injury might have been too much.

This goes completely against everything I have been hearing about him this offseason. Confused, I am.

It isn't that he's performing badly. He's looked good when he's played.

The skepticism is about whether his knee is gonna hold up.

He didn't do anything this off season until this week. He's been reported to have been limping and getting a decent amount of training staff attention.

Brief attention. In fact, a tweet is saying he's back on the field already. It sounds like it's precautionary after he fell on his knee.

I'm just saying that he's only been doing off season activities for a few days and has had some issues with that knee. I believe he was held out a day if I remember correctly and that was probably a day of attention to the knee. If Voth statement has any validity it means he's hearing rumblings about Hill's knee.

Bam! That's why I don't take Voth too seriously. The guy can be an asshole sometimes for no reason.

except he's about to write about Cam being sharp today...

There are like 5 reporters there all writing articles about practice, none of them are conflicting. But you can keep choosing which reports to believe if you want.

voth talking out of his ass per usual

He is negative. Which I'm sure he claims as being a "realist" lol. 

Gantt and a lot of others carry a similar tone. Negativity, condescending remarks, back handed compliments, talking out of both sides of their mouth. Welcome to the media. Nature of the beast. Things like negativity and sensationalism sell and get clicks.

honestly who cares if Stephen hill gets cut. He's done nothing in his career and at best he is 4th option  here which means he will probably take Philly's job. No thanks, I'll keep Philly.

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
