Taysom's best college season as a passer saw him complete 53.9% of his passes with 14 INTs to 19 TDs. Taysom ain't anywhere near Jackson/Kaep/RG3/Vick/Young level as a prospect. I just don't really get the comparison. Taysom is an athletic QB with little to no experience despite being 30 years old. We can't act like he's comparable to 21 or 22 year old QBs who were Heisman candidates and winners, and were all highly drafted. No team even wanted to take a flier on Taysom. And the Packers cut him before he made the 53-man roster. If I told you after Hill's 5th season at BYU that he could be a teams franchise QB, everyone would laugh at me. And what has changed since, other than he's older? Nothing. He just gets the shine that he does because he is admittedly athletic and Payton likes putting him in the game. It's entirely possible he has gotten better, and kudos to Payton if so. But it would definitely surprise me. I think what people are missing here is that Taysom really is an athlete who sometimes is allowed to throw easy reads (even then, he often doesn't spot receivers coming open). He is not a QB. This is pretty unique for me. Kaep, Vick etc all were QBs - they read defenses, adjusted, threw in anticipation, changed reads, progressed through reads etc. Taysom will runnnnnn.

He’s a very athletic guy and would probably have a lot more production if he was used more. He scares me running a team all by himself, but if Payton really feels that strongly about him, he’s gotta give him a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's dozens on dozens of RBs and WRs I'm taking on my team over Taysom. If we ignore the fact that he's listed as a QB and look at what he actually produces on the field, everyone would see that. But if you think he is, then more power to you and the Saints. We'll find out over these next 3 games. Sup bro, just checking in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think other guys couldn’t do that? You are vastly overestimating Hill’s athleticism. Like I said, the only difference is Payton considers it worth subbing Brees out for him. Look anything can happen but I am like 95% positive of how Hill is gonna look as a full-time QB. He’s a 30-year old inexperienced run-first QB. Ain’t hard to figure out what will probably happen if you have watched the NFL for long. Overestimating Hill's athleticism? 6'2, 230 pounds 4.4 40 yard dash 38.5" vertical 10'2" broad jump 4.37 shuttle 7.03 3 cone That's a pretty freakish athlete....

Yes, if you think Hill is the best utility player in the NFL, you are overrating him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This post was only related to his athleticism. Also, I don't consider Ekeler a "utility" player...He's a pass catching HB. I'm not sure how that qualifies him as a utility guy. Taysom has played snaps at QB, FB, TE, WR, gunner, KR, PR.... He's obviously doing something right, your own team wanted Tommy Stevens for the same role.

No one is calling him Steve Young, well except Sean Payton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s why the debate is stupid. What does he actually PRODUCE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How isn't that production? No one is saying he'll be CMC and rush for 1000 and catch 1000 lol Or you could take all the DC words for it when they say how hard it is to prep for him. I dont know.

If someone is gonna call him the best utility player in the NFL, I expect more. Simple as that. Nobody is saying he’s trash. I’m just saying he is nowhere close to being as great as he id made out to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
