Mike Mayock says Taysom Hill could replace Drew Brees in future (1 Viewer)

[Swimmer]

The 28 year old brings a lot to the table.

“Taysom Hill is kind of a unique guy,” Mayock said of the Saints’ all rounder.

“He ran 4.4 at his Pro Day at 218 pounds, as a quarterback. A lot of people, like myself, looked at him as a safety, and I think what Sean has done with him has just been amazing.”

Hill earned a spot on special teams late in the 2017 campaign, and then during this past season, he became a core member of the kicking game, eventually earning some opportunities to return kickoff attempts, and also played a multi-varied role on offense.

He averaged around a dozen snaps per game during this past season, primarily lining up as a quarterback, H-back, or tight end. He finished the season with 37 carries for 196 yards and two touchdowns as well as three catches for four yards. Throwing the ball, Hill went 3 of 7 (42.9 percent) for 64 yards and an interception.

How many of you think Hill could really be the replacement. I respect Mayock! That would be a dream if Hill could step in

Packers GM: Credit Saints for having ‘guts’ to use Taysom Hill in unique role

Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said Tuesday he’s been impressed with how the Saints have utilized Hill’s unique skills.

“I think they’ve been really, really creative in how they’ve used him and used his skill set,” Gutekunst said during an interview at the NFL combine. “He was always a really, really good football player, a really versatile football player, and they’ve certainly found ways to use him that have helped their football team.”

it doesn't matter what we think-----it's what 'the one who shall not be named" thinks.

 

[SaintsJunkie]

I think he could, I'm not going to start doubting a man that can do EVERYTHING WELL

 

[Kenna Kid]

I think its the future plan

 

[Yatman]

Don't know this Mike guy and don't care. Just another pundit shilling for clicks.

I have eyes. Hill might end up as Saints starting QB (a mistake, IMO), but nobody will ever replace #9.

 

[Nonreg]

Hill is a great football player, but I don’t ever see him being a starting QB.

I think his value is in the TE / H-BACK / Option role.

 

[Trey W.]

He could be just not in our current system. We would have to go to a more RPO Offense for his skill set. I just don’t see him as a pocket passer going through multiple reads like Drew does

He's the new GM for the Raiders.

Doesn't matter who is at QB if the ref's let the opposing DB's take out the receiver with a headshot while the ball is in the air.

 

[Yatman]

He's the new GM for the Raiders.

Got it, thanks. So two opponent GMs think TH is special, and one of them believes this utility player with a QB rating of 36 can "replace" the HOF all-time QB statistical leader. Yep, got it. Sound reasoning.

You seriously don't know who Mayock is? Have you ever watched an NFL draft?

 

[El Caliente]

I think Taysom will be a fine QB when his time comes.

 

[Shadeaux]

Coach Payton himself alluded to the same thing last season. ?

 

[Gumbo's Dad]

No way, man. He is a great gadget guy, but he will be a coach killer if someone tries to put a square peg in a round hole. If Mayock wants to offer a #1 for Taysom, that would be hard to pass up if he wants to try.

after Drew retires, I think we need to abandon the pass for at least 3 years out of respect
