Look, I would love to have a mobile QB like Taysom that is also accurate with the ball. And sure he has had some decent preseason game, but he's also had some bad ones and has not been consistent. I would at least like to see him dominate in preseason before turning the franchise over to him. I'm also concerned that a lot of what he does even at QB is dependent on great athleticism. And he is either 30 or just about to turn 30 which is when athleticism tends to start to decline for most players, especially guys that are basically out there getting banged around like a RB or TE. I mean, Taysom has never seen a guy he wouldn't rather run over than run around. So, I have some concerns about the long term viability of a 30 year old QB that relies on athleticism. IMO, he is going to have to learn to be a better pure QB to get by as he gets older.
And while he has done everything that has been asked of him in the past, the NFL is littered with great athletes that did everything that was asked of them (Hines Ward and Kordell Stewart for example), but when asked to become a better and more accurate thrower of the football, couldn't do it. I really hope Hill is the guy that does it, but it would be a major risk to commit to him as the franchise QB at this point and without bringing in competition in the next few years.
