Ian Rapoport: Saints to make a decision on Taysom Hill; hard to imagine Hill returning [T.Hill is turning 35 w/ 18M cap hit & ACL recovery]

Yes in a vacuum TH will be 35 at the start of the season , and father time does win all battles, But TH's 35 is not like a 35 your old player that has been playing 13 yrs because he has not. Also his usage is not like a RB or TE or WR. In 8 yrs TH has only had 437 rushing attempts and caught only 99 passes. He avg 71 rushing attempts per 17 games and 16 rec.
It's not like he has been high usage

Agreed. The focus on Taysom’s age should be redirected to his usage. Still plenty of tread on those tires.

I also think that he is such a great athlete, than even 75% of Taysom is still a very abnormally effective NFL player.

I think 38-39 will be his tipping point. At that point, age will indeed be what takes him out.
