Lap's training camp report

[grampahol]

I like a lot of fans have been following football and baseball for a long time and one thing I do know is that nearly every player goes through ups and downs. Sometimes they downward spiral and never recover, but usually they'll have a few down years then turn things around and run off a few really good years when nobody expects it. 
These are all still young men, even those who have been in the league 10+ seasons. It's a highly competitive market to play in the league so the mere fact that Jeremy Hill is still playing means that he's still good enough to be on an NFL roster. They really don't keep guys around often merely for sentimental reasons, especially running backs. There are just too many younger guys every season trying to take their place. 
The easiest thing in the world to do is to sit at home watching a game or even a season and tell everyone that you know more than any of the coaches know.  Sure, we get it. YOU are the genius and the rest of us don't know didly squat so we should just agree that everything you tell us about player X was handed down to you straight from the all mighty himself, no questions asked. I'm sorry. Maybe it's just me, but I don't quite buy it..

I still believe Jeremy Hill is still a young man with a lot to offer this team despite a few seasons not quite as good as his first season. I think we're damned lucky to have both Jeremy Hill and Joe Mixon and since I don't have the ability to see into the future I'm going to assume that Hill will have a great season right along side of Mixon. I might be wrong and he might have a horrible season, but until that happens I'm certainly not going to root for it to happen.
