Announcement Taysom Hill out for the season with torn ACL-additional damage per Rapoport [Hill placed on Injured Reserve on 12/6] (6 Viewers)

[Snakehead]

Taysom, destroys knee - out 6-8 months.
Zion, out of shape and no effort- out 8-14 months.

Zion is a fat Ben Simmons with a nice smile.

That Durant move was meant for Ruiz. So had Ruiz made it out to block, he would have taken that hit.

I’m also in the group that we might of seen the last of Taysom.

Age is against him, but this is also what propelled him to his current stardom level. I hope he’s back next season

ACL probably means that's a wrap. Already takes a beating every game.

They have to do something about helmet to knee shots.

 

[El Caliente]

This is Taysom Hill folks, you can probably expect him back on Wednesday after he gives the injury time to feel bad about itself.

Get well Taysom, and see you next season.

I haven't seen the game yet, but that is an absolutely horrible tackle. I hope he was flagged/fined....etc.

He was not flagged because that is a legal... relatively routine tackle... just bad luck for Taysom.

 

[Rexman100]

He's got a legit warriors mentality. I do not think that he's thinking "ok I'm done" If you take away that play, would you consider him done or even declining? Would anyone on the Saints or the NFL think that? Taysom will come to that conclusion and fight on and rehab and be ready for next year. It would be different if there was a noticeable decline in his play that was getting worse. If anything, he was at the top of his game. By the way, no one mentioned, that he didn't even drop the ball, making sure we got a first down, even having his knee bending ways it wasn't designed. What a warrior.

A fitting low point to a horrible season. If any 35 year old can come back from this, it’s Taysom Hill.

 

[blackngoldmike]

At 34, I’d completely understand if he wanted to call it quits. But his determination and tenacity will have him coming back as good as new if he so chooses. He is the one guy that you no for sure absolutely gives it his all, every time that he runs a play. And his All is pretty darn great!!

Dirty hit, intentionally on the kneecap and designed to get a serious injury.

 

[Green-Ghost]

Well, it’s just as well. I think if we had any chance of going to the playoffs whe needed to win out. In other words run the table. yesterday‘s lost pretty much insured that we will not make the playoffs so, protect Taysom Hill and hope that he stays with us next season.

From my purse, personal perspective, I wish him the best and hope he gets well soon. Thank you, Taysom for all you have done.

Nah - when Zion is on the court he dominates- he’s just never on the court

 

[SoggyBottomBoy]

Love Taysom, hate the Rams but that wasn't dirty. Just a small guy trying to bring down a big guy and bad luck for Taysom that he was engaged from the other side when the hit came. P.J. Williams' hit on Godwin a couple of years ago looked more questionable/dirty.

Not taking up for the guy, well maybe I am, but where are defenders supposed to hit? Meaning even for our guys. They go high to the head, flag and fine. When I played football, I was always taught to go low. I mean, I hate it happened for sure, but where are they supposed to hit someone?
