Hines is not a receiver. He is too small. Wont win any jump balls, and if placed in a strictly receiver role, we would see his limitations there. He is a scat, 3rd down receiving back. Every team should have one, and he is a good one.
TY in the slot is interesting but only if we bring in a WR and TE to start. If not, I do not want TY featured at this point. Too injury prone, and really just too old. Just move on. He was a great Colt, but shouldn't still be a Colt going forward. We could have spent the money on TY in MUCH more impactful ways last year, IMO.
Allen Robinson though? That just might be the 1A to Pittmans 1B that we need. He is still a good age, he is still talented as hell, a veteran who can produce with garbage QB play, and he wont cost Godwin/Adams type money. If we can get him, I think he'd be a great fit. Arob and Pitt on the outside...and if we can get Jarvis Landry for cheap I am all for it. That is a solid starting three, but also aging.

Well said all around. Ballard needs to go into this offseason with the mindset that Campbell is gone and needs to be replaced. If he manages to stay healthy through camp and makes any contributions on the field then it'll be a pleasant surprise, but we sure shouldn't be counting on anything out of him.
We could have some plays designed to use Hines as a slot receiver, but for the most part let him do what he does best which is catch the ball out of the backfield. It's not his fault Wentz is too stupid to throw him the ball.
Maybe TY could be good in the slot, but he has lost a step(s) and gets hurt a lot anymore. Plus it sounded like he was seriously considering hanging it up at the end of the year.
Agree that both ARob and Landry would be good pickups. Landry's still under contract but would be a big cap savings for the Brownies if they cut him.
