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

Right, so the fact that he gets injured so often despite the relatively low usage doesn't give you pause?

Interesting.....and to be sure I hope TH comes back and is a major contributor for a full season, but I also think that is very, very unlikely at this point.....the reason he is so effective is his physical running style....which leads to.....we all know what it leads to....
