Whether or not I thought it should be Taysom or Jameis starting tomorrow's game, the main thing I care about is the Saints winning. Now that we do know it's Taysom Hill who will be the QB tomorrow I'm going to be watching two things unfold that I think will go a long way especially since Taysom has been with the team 3 solid years.
First, what type of timing will he have with the wide receivers, namely Michael Thomas. Will the accuracy be there so that he can be an effective dual threat QB? I'm assuming Sean Payton will call the same type of plays he would if Brees were there so it's up to Taysom to keep the offense on schedule and have long effective drives to keep Atlanta's offense off the field.
Second, how will Taysom Hill react when Atlanta decides to blitz. If I'm the Failcons, any time I can force a 3rd and long obvious passing situation I'm bringing the heat because the few times I've seen Taysom trying to pass the ball it seems like he needs extra time to decide where he wants to go with the ball. This concerns me because this is where bad turnovers could occur that decides the game.
I certainly will be rooting for Taysom Hill to play great and alleviate my concerns but if he doesn't, those fans who act like they can't wait for Drew Brees to retire will realize just how tough it is to play the QB position at a high level of success like he has.
