Shaun Hill - collective expectations for him? (1 Viewer)

[BobbyLayne]

Shaun Hill is very capable of managing the offense, he's a solid veteran. In Detroit, he wasn't much worse than Stafford early in his career. Hill is capable of passing the ball, he isn't just a guy who has to hand the ball off. He doesn't have the arm strength of a Bradford or Stafford but he's gutsy in the pocket and will make the most out of this opportunity. I think Rams fans won't miss Bradford as much as they fear.

Having watched them both pllay I'd say Hill is an upgrade. He's not the LT solution, but when they find a way to get rid of the albatross that is Bradford's contract there should be much rejoicing in St Louis. It will be figuratively and literally liberating to take the cap hit and move forward.I doubt many Rams fans view it as such ATM, but this season ending injury has the potential to be a defining moment in the turnaround of the franchise.

Rams fans are probably the most likely to see it as that.

Presumably those folks are posting elsewhere. I have yet to see any RamsFan FBGs come to that conclusion.

Pleasant surprise IMVHO....I think he'll be fine

This guy is not afraid to throw it up and let Calvin Johnson do the rest. Oh, wait a minute.

Calvin Produced perfectly fine when Hill was in...

Appearing on NFL Network's Good Morning Football, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune's Matt Vensel reports the Vikings don't think they can "get by" with Shaun Hill for 16 games.
Vensel believes the Vikings will look outside the organization for another quarterback, though he does report the team "likes" Taylor Heinicke, but Heinicke is on the NFI list after tearing up his foot in an off-field incident. He's not expected to be able to practice for another three weeks. The Vikings were one of the teams linked to Nick Foles before he signed with the Chiefs. It's possible they could try to pry Josh McCown away from the Browns for a mid-rounder.
