Do we lose Multirole Taysom when Drew returns.

Saint Lattimore said

The Saints don’t miss him at the “gadget position” because he’s touching the ball every play as the QB. Taysom brings a running threat to the QB position that very few QBs (throughout the history of the NFL) have ever brought. Drew Brees is a legend, but he’s not scrambling for 1st downs... or popping 40+ yard runs if the coverage is too good.

Over the last 3 games, with Taysom Hill starting and playing exclusively at QB, Taysom has 178 rushing yards.

From the beginning of the season... right up until he left with a shattered rib cage and collapsed lung... Drew Brees has a total of 1 rushing yard on the season.

That is an important stat to consider when considering how “the Saints didn’t miss Taysom Hill in his gadget role since Brees has been out.”

Bottom line is that Taysom Hill is a producer for the offense, and the Saints need him in whatever capacity.
