Gio fans have hated Hill since he was drafted because he cuts into Gio's touches. Then you have OSU homers that hate Hill because they wanted Carlos Hyde. Then you also have old school fans who hate Hill for the same reason they hated Chad...because he dances.
In truth, Hill had a very disappointing 2015. Does that mean he's a terrible player though? Na. Hill's biggest problem last year was that he wasn't breaking any long runs. Of the 15 RBs with 200+ carries, Hill was the only one with less than four 20+ yard runs...and Hill only had one 20+ yard run. If Hill continues that trend into '16, then it's time to make plans to draft another back in '17.
