Any chance Jerry Sullivan could reclamate Stephen Hill?.....

But he sure seems to be the apple of your eye.
 

I like low risk potential high reward additions. 

 

Even if he didn't work out, what are you really losing? Mike Brown??

Given the dearth of talent in Carolina, its surprising the Panthers havent kicked the tires yet. Hill and Benjamin would be an impressive set of twin towers.

So what you're saying, is we never should have got rid of Blaine?

That makes no sense. 

 

How was Blaine a low risk/ high reward prospect?  :wacko: 

 

We used the 10th overall pick on him as well as an additional 2nd rounder.

But he's so young and at the time he wasn't going to cost the jaguars a lot of money. What would be the harm in keeping him here? Same concept youre preaching with hill.

I like proving TMD wrong as much as anybody (check the baseball threads), but come on. You make yourself look like a fool when you stretch so far to do it.

Here's a question that comes to mind regarding the discussion.   How much has Mike Brown contributed on Special Teams and how effective do you feel he is on Special Teams?

 

A major reason why Stephen Hill was beaten out for a roster spot with the Jets was the Special Teams factor vs. others on their roster.

I thought Caldwell pulled a miracle trading gabbert. I'm just applying TMD logic.

So do I. Just because TMD thinks somebody is worth a flier doesn't mean that he thinks every bust is worth a roster spot.

Quote:Are you still holding him accountable for the words of his agent??
The words of the agent are effectively the words of the player. If the player disagrees with what the agent says, the player has every right to fire the agent for saying it. Given that Hill hasn't come out to dispute what his agent said, retract it or apologize for it, one must assume that he agrees with the sentiment entirely and allowed it to be floated out there.

 

Quote:I wouldn't mind giving him a chance.....

 

next offseason.
This, pretty much. Sign him in February and see what he can do during the offseason to earn a job. Don't waste a roster spot on a bust that may or may not even contribute on special teams this year.

First of all,  we only have 5 receivers on our roster.  Robinson, Lee, and Hurns are rookies, and Shorts had multiple concussions last year.   The only one I haven't named is Mike Brown.   In that situation, I don't think we have any room for a reclamation project. 

 

Hill was drafted in the 2nd round, he was healthy, and he got cut.   That should tell you something.

This thread is three pages longer than the number of receptions Hill had last year.

Quote:If true, we've probably got no shot to land him now. He'll get to pick his next destination. Yes, it will probably be a 1 year type of "prove it" deal, too. 
Yeah now with 32 teams passing on him, he has all the leverage, right?

 

With limited roster size, I doubt there's going to be a team that's willing to carry him as a 4th or 5th WR that can't really help you on game day.

I didn't know he still is PS eligible with the new rules. 

 

Sign him to that.
