Gil 243 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I think this kid is ready to rewrite the KC record book. Hill stayed in Kansas City over the offseason—training daily with the other receivers who also stayed in town. His focus was on improving his footwork, route-running and knowledge of the playbook.“I don’t want to just be this fast guy on the field,” Hill explained of his decision to stay in Kansas City over the offseason. “I’ve just been here grinding.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West 6,714 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Amen Gil. I love the fact that this kid is making good on his second chance. Reid and Co should be praised for taking a chance, but Hill is proving that he deserved it. I love his toughness too. w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMO 6,811 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 And to think many in here was bitching and moaning about the Chiefs picking him up. Guilty. But, I also said that I was a big believer in redemption. So far he is making good on his opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer 8,687 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 the only one I remember that really had his doubts was Bil.... But I also wondered if it was a wise choice..so far so good. It could be 5 years down the Rd and if he "relapses" Bil will say he told us so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 It's nice he's a good player, but he's still a shitty ass dude and not beating a pregnant woman for awhile doesn't really display remorse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. I agree with you, BUT, I know I did A LOT of stupid stuff in my 20's that i wouldn't think about doing now. I tell my children this every day, it's not the mistakes you make in your life that define who you are, it's what you learn from them. So far, it appears he has learned from them. Let's hope and pray he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 He looks to be a total pro so far. I don't really care why she called the police on him or why he called the police on her. Both happened and I don't know the full story behind either event. Bottom line is he broke the law and he paid the price. His debt is paid in full. That's how our country works.

wilkie 1,518 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Do you think he might be a candidate for the sophomore slump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhataLerror 370 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Do you think he might be a candidate for the sophomore slump? He'll be a better player at his position, but the lack of a veteran receiver to keep his coverage honest almost ensures a regression to the mean statistically. I picked him up as a free agent in Fantasy Football last year, but I'm not chasing him this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefmanzada 466 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I believe he will change the game once Mahomes takes over and launches him the ball 70 yards down the field. Alex might do close to the same this year. Might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefmanzada 466 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Alex has the capability to launch the ball when need be, and he has nothing to lose this year so why not ! He shall ask.. if he didn't already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shall ask.. if he didn't already Key word in chiefmanZada's post: capability. Smith didn't see it, but could have hit that if he did (but so could every other QB in the league on that one). That makes it more frustrating, because it isn't as if I would say that it was irrelevant because he couldn't do it anyway. He could have but he didn't see it. Argh!

Smith has said about that play that Hill wasn't in the progression. The play didn't develop the way Smith anticipated, and one of the Steelers' pass rushers got a free lane toward Smith, leading him to bail the pocket for time. This play constantly gets referenced as an example of why Smith isn't a good quarterback, but it's based on a completely false assumption that shows a lack of fundamental knowledge about quarterbacking.
