I liked Jeffrey better coming out...Hill was a project...with that said...we still need a regime change...repeat of the staff we have in place does little to further his development...

It's not like any rook WR has come out and dominated. The NFL is a pretty tough place for a rook.

Which makes the RG3 really big for good reason......

Where he was picked makes him a big letdown so far. But I like kids upside and feels he wil lget LOTS of coaching in offseason w/Jugs machine etc etc.
He has shown ability to get open and is good blocker. If we can get him more consistent with hands then upside is big.
He has to show big progress next year however. I still think Sanchez hurts all his WRs with his 1) bad throws and 2) late throws.

Can you improve your hands? That will determine it.

People are very quick to throw the bust label on Hill. He's a rookie who was drafted based on raw ability. Most wide receivers take a year or two to really get it going anyway, especially those coming from Georgia Tech. Calvin Johnson Jr. like previously mentioned, did not have a great rookie season and neither did Demaryius Thomas.

Stephen Hill will become.........whatever the Jets want him to become.

If they want him to be great, they will bring in a great WR mentor to show him how.......

Not sure why he would do that, seems kind of strange.

He's not a bust, he was a project. Everyone knew this when he came out. It's our fault for drafting him and penciling him in as a starter 5 minutes later.

Hill blows. Badly. He blew as a prospect and he's blown as a rookie. Trader ****ing Mike.

(Chandler)'s a nice piece as long as he's the 7th most important player on your roster....I think they're going to be disappointed when they see he's just a pumped-up Drew Gooden.

we all remember Lam Jones, so far Hill looks like Lammie, still time, Cordy Glenn should have been the pick

Like Jones if you cannot catch all the speed in the world doesn't mean a damn thing. Hill cannot catch. By all accounts a nice kid, but he can't catch. And when you keep picking "projects' in the 2nd round that never contribute, your GM and scouting department suck.

I concur Cordy Glenn was there to be had, starting RT, Not sure who the scout was, but i have a good idea

They did that this year. The guy from Oakland developed a bunch of good WRs from nothing out there, he even brought Heyward Bey around somewhat... and that kid was basically the same as Hill, big, fast target that can't hold onto football. I actually think Hill might run better routes in his rookie year than Hey Bey did in his.

I get the comparison, it just seemed weird that he would scream at you.
