Well that was just wrong-headed, then.
I have to figure they made that JJSS signing w/ full awareness that Hill was going to be traded (given that Hill was traded 3 days later). Why would they expect teams to approach us the same way without Hill as they did with Hill?
It just kinda gets back to where I was before we signed him - the 'zone buster' stuff is a myth for the majority of guys. It's like calling every mediocre QB a 'game manager' because you can't come up with anything else to call them.
JJSS isn't a zone buster - he has no specific traits that make him more capable of sitting down on a route than Byron Pringle does. He's pretty much a JAG, IMO.
