Taysom Hill Raw Footage (Video From OTAs)

If you look back to when Drew was in his first few years in the league, he was seen as average and "middling". It wasn't until the 2005 season that he became the Brees we all know and love....then he got hurt. Unlike Drew, he has Drew to learn from so he should advance more quickly. IMHO, I feel like Hill is on par with or even possibly ahead of #9 at the same point in their careers as far as skill. Obviously we don't REALLY know because he hasn't played a real game. I look forward to what this kid will do post-Brees. I like the analogy to Young. I also am reminded of Rodgers. If he turns out even close to any one of those, we are set for a while.

When the Saints signed Brees, I had only seen him play in one game in the 2004 season. I was having lunch with a friend at a local restaurant, so they had the San Diego game on. Brees didn't jump out as being special during that game. I barely recognized his name when the Saints signed him and I didn't think much of it. Then Dolphins fan that I know, said that I should be happy that the Saints signed Brees. I told him Brees seemed like he'd be a good QB. He emphatically corrected me and said that Brees was one of the best QB's in the league. Since I hadn't seen or known anything about Brees 2005 season, I blew off what he said. Didn't take long into the 2006 season to see what he saw.

Hill doesn't have to be as great as Brees to be a good QB for the Saints. Many QB's not as great as Brees have lead their teams to winning seasons and to Superbowls. It'd be great if Hill, or whoever is the next QB, are anywhere nearly as great as Brees, but it's not necessary in order for the Saints to be successful. They just need a QB that is at least good. It seems that Hill has that potential.
