The taysom quandary. (1 Viewer)

You don't think he would start the next game?
I’m just going off what Payton suggested, and that’s having Hill remain in his role. I mean he was slightly out played by Trevor in the preseason. I think the way this team is built which is defense first, Trevor and his game manager style would be the better fit for a few games.
 
To me SP doesn't have to overuse Hill to justify his contract. If he chooses his spots and goes with quality over quantity then that's fine by me. Stat wise it will be hard for Taysom to ever live up to that contract but all he needs to do is be great in short yardage and the red zone. Just help move the chains and score TDs. Basically he needs to keep doing what he's always done but with less fumbles.
 
I can see Payton setting up future plays by running taysom in short yardage situations. I’m betting that you will see him line up in pistol, fake a run up the middle, then jump pass to an open juwan, ala college Tebow.
 
Maybe it changes over the course of the season, and Payton keeps experimenting, but I doubt he gets many snaps at QB, other than goal line situations and the occasional trick play. Really, I just think it's counterproductive to swap QBs, when there's not as much of an advantage anymore. I think he could be working on adding some weight back and playing mostly at receiver, TE, and ST. It's something to keep an eye on.

There were several times over the course of the past few seasons where it felt like Sean was shoehorning Taysom into the game at QB when we might have been better served to ride with Brees and get a groove going.

I think that's where the 2-QB rotations fail - QB is such a rhythm position and when you pull a QB in a drive for one play, I can't see how it wouldn't break some of the rhythm.

Buy Taysom can still be a really effective tool - so I'm happy to see him on the field, I just prefer it not be as the QB.
 
I would like to see a bigger role than the one he had this past Sunday
I think the score and way the game was going dictated his lack of play more than anything else. No reason to expose to your next opponents any new designs you have. Just run a couple plays they've already seen to make them have to consider things.

The fumble thing was a 1 year blip, coming off the thumb injury from the year before. It was never a problem before 2020 and won’t be again.

Its too late to add weight back for this year, weight gain workouts have to be done in the off-season when you have time to recover from workouts. In-season weight training is for maintenance, not nearly as intense because you are recovering from games.
 
His contract is high but look at all the depth he provides us with. With one player we have someone who can step up to be a backup QB, RB, TE, WR, punt returner, kickoff coverage etc.. That adds huge value from one player that other teams don't have.
 
Actually, when you are a finely tuned athlete with very low Body Fat %, that is exactly what it means.
I doubt his body fat % was low enough for that To be the case. Yes, he’s a finely tuned athlete. But he still had some wiggle room. He just got more lean.
