There are some teams he could start for, but not a lot of contenders.

Beyond all that, my main issue with him is that he is limited as an outside runner and as a receiver, which limits what we can do with him in the game from a playcalling standpoint and makes the opposing defense's job a lot easier.  It just makes more sense to me that the back that's getting the majority of the snaps be able to run a majority of the plays.  

Right. He's not "terrible" as some claim him to be, but there's room for improvement. And it makes sense for those hopeful on Hill to think he could get back to his rookie season form since he's done it before. I'm personally in the camp of "I like the guy as a short yardage or goal line RB, but he shouldn't be the starter".
