Gas2No99 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 At his Wednesday pre-NFC Championship Game presser, Cam Newton said losing WR Stephen Hill (ACL) in training camp was a "big deal." It's a surprising disclosure of Cam's feelings on a player who entered the NFL with big-time tools, but fizzled out with the Jets before tearing his ACL in Panthers camp last summer. And it's perhaps noteworthy for deep Dynasty leaguers. Hill is still only 24 years old, turning 25 in April. A restricted free agent, the Panthers can retain Hill at the cheapest possible RFA tender.

Jetsfan80 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 It's not completely outlandish to think that a big speed WR, albeit with terrible hands, couldn't make a few plays when paired with a big-armed QB like Cam. This is particularly true when you consider that the best type of passing attack to pair with a heavy run game, like Carolina uses, is a vertical passing game. And hell, just look at Ted Ginn. He's dropped tons of passes this year. But he's certainly also made some plays too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Everyone is reading this wrong. Cam said it was a "Big Deal" because Hill getting hurt made them better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointman Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hill and Devin Smith, both fast with no hands. Lateral move by us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
