The Taysom Hill deal was for 21 million dollars!

You are right, but you are missing my analogy... Right now Taysom has proven more at the NFL level of competition than any rookie QB that has come out this year... or any that have not played NFL competition at this point... and the same people that would use Taysom's lack of experience playing QB at the NFL level (playing behind the best of all time) as a reason... would not do so for a 1st round pick of the Saints evenb though he had not picked up an NFL football yet.

That was my point. It's an unfair assessment, and Taysom has proven waaaay more already. My comparison to guys like Allen, Russ, and Lamar are mainly for the "style of offense we run" detractors.

Gotcha. I see where you're coming from. I just believe that those guys** you mention had proven more at the college level than Taysom has. I think to run the style of offense you're talking about, you still have to be a reasonable threat to pass the football, and Taysom has never really done that. I don't give much credit to preseason against 4th stringers.

The "let's just run the Lamar Jackson offense" notion would be a lot of fun to watch. But the problem is, while Lamar is not the most accurate QB in the NFL, he makes smart decisions with the football and doesn't make a lot of mistakes. Taysom is not as smart with the football as Lamar is. And if we know one thing about Sean it's that he doesn't like turning the ball over.

So for what you're wanting to happen to happen, Hill would have to really turn the corner in terms of not making mistakes with the football. And even in his time here, he's made the wrong decision on the RPO several times. Most of the time choosing to keep instead of give to the RB. So I'm skeptical he has the ability to improve his decision making.

But I also think expecting Winston to do the same thing is pretty unrealistic too. My guess is our future QB is not on the roster.

But if it's Hill, I'll root for him right alongside of you.



** FYI I don't think Josh Allen is very good.
