Now, if Jameis shows alot paying him may be another issue. You think they’d go that route with only $5M in savings? Still $11M on the books.

Think it depends on Tommy Stevens development and if Taysom can actually play QB. Which we will probably not find out if Brees stays healthy. Reality is he will be 30 and i dont care what Sean says nothing they have done says to me they actually believe he is a qb This is like the 1 time i wanted to see multiple preseason games with Jameis/Hill fighting for the backup spot lol.

If Taysom is the starting QB then you guys are kinda screwed. Lets ignore any throwing attributes he does or doesnt have, IF he starts he wouldnt have really seen any significant # of snaps at QB in 5 years. Thats a big mountain to overcome for anyone, let alone a guy with hills skill set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler735 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Highly doubt Taysom Hill starts at any point. Jameis Winston was brought in for that purpose, and will very likely be our QB once Brees retires (likely after this year). Hill will continue to be our jack of all trades gadget player.

Payton keeps talking him up but everything they do tells me otherwise. You dont keep signing more accomplished QBs if you want him to have that spot. It was only a 1 year extension. Not like they couldnt get out of it if they had to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follow the money. Winston was signed to a vet minimum. Taysom Hill was signed to about $3-4 million/season more than he was expected to be paid as a joker.

Are you sure there isn't more confidence in Hill than Winston at this point? What do you expect when Brees retires? QB roulette until one edges it out? Yes I'm almost positive. Last season should have shown that. He is probably the most unique player in the league in terms of skillset (which is why they paid what they did, he Sean Payton's chess piece), but he's been with the team for several years now and has attempted a grand total of 13 passes (completing 6 of them) in 32 career games with us. If the team truly believed he could be a successor to Brees, they would have given him more than 6 pass attempts last season when Brees was out for almost half the season, but they didn't go that route, they went exclusively with Bridgewater when Brees was out, and then once Bridgewater was traded, they wasted no time bringing in Winston. It seems they view Winston as the guy if Brees gets injured/retires, which would make sense as he is a legitimate QB with actual QB experience despite his propensity to turn the ball over at a high rate. Hill has at no point in his college or Pro career shown to be a truly effective passer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said he got a higher than expected contract for a gadget role that has no real comparison to any other player in the NFL in terms of positional value.

The only reason Winston starts ahead of Hill is if...Winston at QB and Hill at joker > Hill at QB and Winston at joker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
