Good point. Hill did have a 101.3 QB rating and only 1 interception all year, completed 68% of his passes. However, he only averaged just a little over 6 yards per pass completion and his longest pass was for a 26 yard gain. Martz's offense is predicated on getting the ball down the field, I'm not sure that's Hill's strong point.
Kid's a winner--back when he was a senior at Maryland, he led them to the ACC title back in '01. If he can show some arm strength to get the ball down the field, he's got enough athleticism at his size (6'3/226) to elude the pass rush if need-be. He even played some WR on scout team in the preseason when he wasn't battling Jesse Palmer for the 3rd QB spot.
I like him, but I still think they need to grab a guy like Henne in later rounds to let Martz groom for the long-term.
