2712434, the Taysom Hill hype is off the rails
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Thu Feb-20-20 07:36 PM
they jumping the shark w/ this one. i know the league thinks they need a new white qb but this is just ridiculous. breh thrown like 13 passes in his career and theyre talking about him being the saints long term qb solution

let him keep being a gadget player. he's killer at that.
2712435, I’ve been thinking the same thing lol...

Than anything on the field.

Plus he has a milkable sibling story that they can bring up every year

We have no idea what this guy is going to turn into.

Uppage on this post is going to be crazy years from now.
2712459, Right, we don’t know. So until we do they need to calm down. A lot

Right now he’s a fullback with a few NFL completions.

30? As a QB?

Some QBs don’t hit their prime until they are 30. It’s the one position where older is better. And QBs don’t start regressing until about 36 or 37?

So you can get a good 7 or 6 years out of the guy. Plus he is tailored made for this era of football.

Dude has some serious ability. Strong arm, speed, scrambling and running, and is an extra goal line RB.
2712489, theres a reason why hes the backup to the backup.

2712497, Taysom Hill is just Sean Payton's personal ego project
Posted by will_5198, Sat Feb-22-20 07:46 PM
and not in a bad way, the packages are productive -- but it's just Payton proving he's a better offensive coach than most. like Belichick's project is to find some arcane rule and exploit it, to prove he'll always be more prepared than most.
