Brees successor is in the building (1 Viewer)

Well I have to say, as much as I had high hopes for Teddy, at this point I think it’s clear that Taysom Hill offers absolute upside in every aspect of the game. While I used to think that he was more suited for gadget stuff and Teddy could be the real guy, it’s evidenr that Hill is The Man moving forward. Great throws and great mobility but more importantly his pocket awareness is on point. He has proven his ability game after game. The guy makes plays it’s As simple as that.

Yeah he made great plays today, but I really don't see him as a replacement for Brees.

I wouldn't go that far. He looked very good today. He won the game for us. Last week, he looked terrible throwing the ball. Let's hope that he is improving.

He showed good touch on his throws today. Like any player, getting into a rhythm is key. He was really comfortable and it showed after that first drive.

Got to give Teddy a couple more looks at least if the being sick thing actually had an impact, but from what I've seen so far Teddy may have less upside than Hill.

Hill does seem to have made noticeable progress on accuracy and touch on his throws save for that one into the dirt when he was under bit of pressure. Need to see it consistently.

But remember Hill had an awful game last pre-season too and everyone wrote him off for a week as a QB until he came back and played better, Teddy should have a chance to do the same. But overall have not been overly impressed. Does look more like....a backup QB rather than starter, someone who fills in for the "game manager " role.

Right now. You will be a singing a different tune in a couple years, if we go with him as the full time starter.

There is no way Payton makes Hill the backup QB. As mentioned many times, Hill plays an important role on our offense that Sean would have to give up if he’s the backup. I really doubt Sean wants to do that.

Replay of John Fourcade?

Bobby Hebert is comparing Taysom Hill to Cam Newton. I think Hill is going to be our future.

Last week we thought for sure Hill was no more than a gadget player, and teddy was the future.. it’s one week. We’ll see what happens

 

[Surviving Saint]

John Fourcade was a drinker and liked the wings . Taysom not a heavy drinker

Result will be the same.

Taysom #2

I can guarantee I don’t. Hill had shown so much more progression. I have been here to see Teddy. Apples to apples hill has been better almost every time and demonstrated more growth and versatility.

In not necessarily saying he is the defacto #2 but he is the best we have by far right now. He is so versatile all over the field and I totally see what your saying. That being said he still is the best QB outside of Brees on this team

You might be correct, but he still won’t be #2 in my opinion, which is worth exactly what you paid for it. ?
