The thing that will hurt Schwartz is that when the voters look at his record, he won't have any (or many) pro bowls, and that's often how linemen are judged. The only reason he doesn't get pro bowls because they always put left tackles in there instead of right tackles, which I think is a travesty. But in the end, it'll hurt him. So that brings up a question. Is Schwartz a right tackle because he can't play left tackle? Is right tackle solely a position for players who are lesser than left tackles? I think that's the perception, but more and more we see good pass rushers lining up on the strong side, and half the time the tight ends are moving around so the strong side isn't even the strong side any more. I think Schwartz is being victimized by an antiquated view of what the right tackle does. |

But you can't know until you know. And the NFL is littered w/ fluke injuries. I'm pretty sure Hill's legs are built in such a way that he could cut harder than most guys without ligaments in his knee at all so he's going to be pretty well protected there. And those short strides should keep him from being over-exposed. Everything in terms of his build suggests durability - but weird shit happens in this game. |

Tyreek's game is a pretty good mix of prime Steve Smith and Desean Jackson. They both aged fairly well so I'd imagine Hill has a good chance of doing so as well.
The fact that he's rounded out his game and is not just a fast gadget player gives me a lot of hope. You could make Reek a 4.5 guy and he probably wouldn't be elite anymore but he'd still be better than average. If he's able to retain his legendary speed as well as guys like Darrell Green and Deion Sanders the sky really is the limit. |

Having speed to spare helps because when you lose some, you still have plenty. And that's how it went for some of those hyper-athletic guys. |

it still sucks not seeing him catch deep balls constantly
2017 was quite fun his yards per target has steadily declined as defenses have gotten more scared of him and mahomes |

I like these last 2 games. 32 targets in 2 games. It'd usually take 5-6 games for that many targets.
