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]

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.

I'd like to see the data for elite athletes returning from a torn ACL at 35. I agree Taysom's 35 is not equivalent to other high usage players that have wear and tear, but that injury is no joke.
