I don't know if that is the plan, but I do think Taysom is going to be signed along with Drew next year, Teddy will get starting money and we can't afford that

Neither is the heir, though one or both may get a few starts after he retires until we find a more suitable QB who can run our whole playbook.The Saints already know Taysom is their transition or possible heir after Drew. And in limiting his playing time they are limiting the excessive offers to lure him away in February. I think this is why Teddy got the nod over Taysom even though he was outplayed in the preseason. (Yes, this contradicts a previous opinion and I realize they can’t play the number 2 much for fear of injury.)
I'm pretty sure someone can teach him to act.
? drop....
THE TAYSOM TRANSITION TIMELINE (I posted this in another thread, but it answers your question)
Payton Quotes & FACTUAL DATA:
- Payton telling Aikman IN-PERSON @ Saints Facility during 2018 season before a big game that he and Buck were calling that Drew’s Replacemant “Is In The Building” Aikman is on record as being shocked by Payton’s statement.(Teddy was NOT on team folks)
- Payton wanting to carefully groom Brees replacement(Taysom 2021 or 2022 timeline fits)
- Payton having multiple media quotes that “He Sees Taysom as a QB” a la VISION for Tayson is as a QB.
- Payton quoted as stating that “Taysom Hill IS STEVE YOUNG!” (Everyone knows Young took over for a Legend in Joe Montana!) Payton would not be quoted as a fool folks. Payton saying this is basically his version of “I know something yall don’t, so watch and see who’s right!”
- Steve Young personally stating that “he is no Taysom Hill” basically corroborating the Taysom Starting QB eventual scenario PLUS he knows Taysom & talks with Taysom cause they are both BYU Alumni folks!
- Teddy’s Reps stating that Teddy came back for a chance to learn under Brees & Payton & WAIT ON THE RIGHT STARTING QB OPENING(not Miami dumpster fire ?)
- Teddy’s 2020 $20+ Mil Price Tag requiring Saints to choose between Brees OR Teddy (easy guess duhhh Brees folks)
- Brees stating that he has no plans to retire; taking it Year to Year
- Brees looking like a caged animal on sideline while injured ? shows he has fire ? to play at least NEXT season 2020.(Teddy dowsn’t fit Cap wise in this scenario)
- Taysom a RFA in 2020 & VERY SIGNABLE
- Taysom has a brand new home under construction as reported by another user - this certainly supports a long term goal mindset for Taysom
- Teddy’s persona is that of a caretaker 100% Team Guy that leaves little clues in video interviews that he INTENDS TO BE A STARTER IN 2020(watch the Deion Sanders NFL Network Interview)
Believe what yall want, but I will bet $1,000 Taysom Hill is Payton’s Transition QB. In the words of Payton, “I’ve seen enough.”

Taysom Hil, has (through no fault of his own) has become the "Gerry Cooney" of a new generation of saints fans. The future QB for the saints is not in the building. Teddy (26yr) nor Taysom (29yr) will be our future qb. Joe Burrow, is a better fit for Sean's offense and is more of a pure passer than Taysom or Teddy right now. Taysom is not close to being ready to run Seans offense, and Teddy is a very good starting Qb in the nfl. But, he is a much better fit on other teams.
How do you propose we get Burrow in the building? Think about that.Taysom Hil, has (through no fault of his own) has become the "Gerry Cooney" of a new generation of saints fans. The future QB for the saints is not in the building. Teddy (26yr) nor Taysom (29yr) will be our future qb.

The only knock on Taysom coming out of college was injury history which was pretty sever. If you go back and look at the press he was tearing it up at BYU. If he didn't lose basically every collegiate season due to injury then he could easily have been a 2nd or 3rd rounder. He is a legit QB talent.
You just basically described 99% of every college QB. It's not just the ability to sling it or succeed in a pro style offense its the entire package (IQ, athleticism, plus some intangibles like maturity) that makes only a few transition to the pros. If Hill was put in a position to play QB (and not wildcat, STr ) then he'd be every bit as dynamic as Kyler Murray, Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson, Kyle Allen etc. You are mighty quick to disregard a modern QB's ablity to make plays outside the pocket when the majority of NFL QB's read and run today. There are more of the Hill type QBs' playing today then the pocket statues.Not true at all. He was viewed as a guy who didn't have the instincts to play QB in the NFL, as he was a one-read then bail out and run type player (and mostly still is). His injuries have nothing to do with that.
So we're clear, the theory is that Payton knows Hill gives the team the best chance at winning but is choosing not to use him? That's what we're going with? For real?
