Yeah, that's an odd takedown to be concussed on.  Definitely looked like a neck thing, but then he was all woozy.

I can’t disagree more on McCoy.  He had an elusiveness that I’ve seen in very few backs.  Before I knew he was I was watching Pitt play Navy during his freshman year.  This was back when Slaton and Ray Rice were still in the BE.  After watching that game I remember thinking he was better than either of them.

McCoy was very very good and putting him at #3 isn't really a slight and IMO he's very close. Obviously McCoy had a better NFL career than Conner has (as I think injuries have hampered Conner's speed/power and he's always in 3-4WR sets these days).

However Conner just had otherwordly talent, he gained 1700+ on 6 yards a carry his Soph year and was only at best 80% for his sr. year and still was awesome. The 1st guy never tackled him and he had breakaway speed in the open field. Martin, he's hard to remember as he toiled on bad teams and there are no youtube highlights from his time at pitt. Trust me tho he was so freaking talented (he actually didn't play HS football until his SR year which is how he found his way to Pitt).

Hill's speed is what differentiates him.  We've seen Harvin, Samuels, guys like that who are unguardable in the slot.  What separates Hill, is you can't bring a safety down on him, because he'll just blow by you over the top.
Interested to see how Rondale Moore does in the NFL. He's got all the speed and moves of Hill, and very well might be harder to tackle.

Not sure what he did in KC but he got bad press in Cleveland.Hill broke his 4 yr olds arm
I believe he punched a woman in the face, knocked her out cold, then when she was down, kicked her.

That's why KC cut him, but then Cleveland picked him up.  I actually think it may have occurred outside a Cleveland bar.

In Cleveland,he didn't kick her evidently she was tagging along(not invited) he shoved her with his foot - this was on camera in a hallway.Not sure of a bar incident

I think he went forehead first into the ground.

Probably not going to win a meaningless regular season game with three turnovers on your own side of the field, let alone a playoff game

EDIT: 4

Granted this one backed the Bucs all the way up to their own 48

Tom Brady is one game away from playing in his 10th Super Bowl. That’s mind blowing.

And Bruce Arians isn't the plug that has been suggested.Was reading up on him and the QBs who've played under him all respected him - as he apparently hasn't made things easy on them either.He was "Coach of the Year" 8 yrs back when Chuck Pagano was sidelined with cancer in Indy - then left for the AZ HC job.He got to the playoffs there with 11-5,13-3 in '14-'15 losing to the Panthers both times once in the NFC CG.The guy can coach
