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.
I think there was also a fairly large contingent who felt he was the second coming of Jim Brown, Walter Payton, and Emmitt Smith all rolled into one. There were a lot of "we're going to ride Hill all the way to a championship" posts before the 2015 season began. Those people were probably pretty upset once the season actually started.
