Zach Strief believes that Taysom Hill can be a starting quarterback in the NFL,
but the Saints will likely give Jameis Winston the nod this Sunday against the
Falcons – for many reasons
By Zach Gelb | Radio.com
The New Orleans Saints will be without Drew Brees for at least two to three weeks, this after the 41-year-old quarterback suffered fractured ribs on both sides of his chest, along with a collapsed lung, in a 27-13 win over the San Francisco 49ers this past Sunday.
The Saints (7-2) will now turn to Jameis Winston at quarterback. That is, of course, unless they turn to Taysom Hill.
Ultimately, who will start this Sunday against Atlanta (3-6)?
“I expect it will be Jameis Winston, and there’s a couple things I think in play there,” former Saints offensive lineman and current play-by-play voice Zach Strief said on The Zach Gelb Show. “Losing Drew is a big deal, and it hurts your team. Losing Taysom Hill and all of the different things that he does on the field is also difficult. He plays a huge role in our offense. He’s a running back, he’s a quarterback, he’s a wide receiver, he’s a tight end, he’s the personal protector on the punt team, he’s the R4 on the kickoff team – he plays kind of all over the place, and you’re not going to start him at quarterback and have him play personal protector, although he may be willing to do that for you. I think what you’re really able to do with Jameis is you’re able to run more similar of an offense than you would with Taysom.”
