Hill doesn't have the fastball of Bradford, but he has much better touch.
My biggest knock on Bradford was that his balls were always high and fast. He wasn't able to change up the speed on the short routes where the ball needs to be number level with touch to match the pace of the receiver. Too many drops from Bradford were when he put it above the should pads at hand stinging speed.
Hill has problems with 18yd sideline passes and his distance is shorter but his touch will likely help some of our receivers like Austin, RBs, and TEs on shorter plays. You don't have to take the top off a defense to soften up for the run game. If they stack the box then screens and quick release patterns are also effective. Hill is going to miss some passes that Bradford would be able to zing in there, but he will also be able to get more out of some of his passes by hitting crosses and tosses in stride.
