No one gets mad if you point out Hill needs to protect the ball more. He does. He fumbled way too often last year.
There's also a few other nuances to his game that could be pointed out. But no one gets mad if you do.
You mention how AJ has disappeared like everyone else in the playoffs or how he hasn't won the jump ball like he used to, and you are being "pissy"
I wish we had archives from the old board so we could re-visit the Hill threads. Some people got plenty mad if you bring up any issues with Hill's game, but no one got crazy calling him "Hill-God" and "Lord Hill", or whatever other cute nicknames you like to toss around. But hey, I guess it only applies in certain circumstances.
The thing with A.J., as it's been pointed out, the QB is directly responsible for getting the ball to him and it comes down to the chicken or the egg thing yet again. If everybody acknowledges the QB played horribly in these games, how good do you expect the WRs numbers to be? We've had what, 1 WR with good numbers in a playoff game, and some people insist that they were "padded", so make that 0 WRs with good numbers if you believe that part as well.
It would be like watching an offensive line completely collapse against run defense but then bash the RB for not having flashy numbers and winning the game on their own. Most rationale people would probably give the line more blame in that scenario. So in this case, it comes down to whether you believe the guy throwing the ball would have an effect on the guy trying to catch the ball. Hah, bunch of dopes, thinking that miserable QB play could have negative impact on WR statistics.
