He has no vision, and refuses to run N/S. The OL is bad, but the other two RBs did better behind the exact same bad OL.
Good RBs come out of the draft yearly, in all the rounds. The last two drafts have produced 6 Pro-Bowl RBs, including 2 1st Team All-Pro and 1 2nd Team All-Pro. Those RBs were taken: 3 1st Rounders, 1 3rd Rounder, 2 5th Rounders. 2014 only produced one, but he was a 4th rounder. 2013 produced FOUR Pro Bowl RBs. 2nd x2, 6th x1, UDFA x1. That's 11 Pro Bowl RBs in the last 4 years. Only 3 of the 11 coming in the 1st round, and 5 coming in the 4th or later round.
It's silly to spend money on any RB you have questions about, and there's a lot of questions about Hill. Even if he has a great season in '17, who are you going to get in '18? The guy who looked good when contract money was on the line, or the guy who looked truly awful in back-to-back years where no money was on the line?
Nice work on the rb stats. I don't know if it was Rex doing what he was supposed to, the libe blocking better for him or the Ravens dogging it but it was the same line the hill plodded behind all year. I'm hoping for Mixon or Kamara dropping to the 4th.
