Not sure why people seem to think Hill is NOT mobile. Because of his age? He actually is quite mobile, he just doesn't run around when its not necessary. I saw someone mention he isn't much taller than Davis. Well, he IS 6'3, so I would say that is a dramatic difference, and simply from an experience standpoint, figures not to be as rattled when facing the heavy doses of blitzing opponents have been deploying against Davis.
I have never said he was "the answer" to all the QB woes, but he does provide a change of pace, and will be less likely to make the crucial turnovers that has plagued Davis. And when there are plays to be made (when receivers get behind the secondary), I have little doubt Hill will manage to get them the ball. He will be more accurate, (and I am not talking just about completion percentage).
He will get the ball out on time, and know where to go with it before the pressure gets to him. He will take hits along the way, but I will be surprised if the sacks against doesn't go down. Being "mobile" does not mean running around. For all his athleticism (scrambling "ability"), Davis ran himself into more sacks than simply staying in the pocket and getting the ball out.
