The Taysom Hill deal was for 21 million dollars!

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.

Fair enough... I think where we differ is that.... when I look at the entire NFL body of work for Taysom.... Including Pre-season and regular season throws, his ability to extend plays, his ability to out run just about anyone, his physical nature of play, his ability to take over a game in short order, and the way his teammates respond to him - rally around him - and want to make a play for him... coupled with the genius of Payton to design an offense around him (and Payton's obvious crush on him)... I think his decision making and ball security will naturally get better when his experience level gets better... I don't see how he's not the future of QB for us as long as Sean is the coach or baring something completely unforeseen.
