Even with a pretty bad performance yesterday outside of his rushing, Taysom Hill should start the rest of the way. It is time to put this thing to bed once and for all, whatever way it goes.
That means no more excuses. We should not go into next year with the idea that a hurt tip of the finger is the difference between good Taysom and him consistently throwing to WRs late and making really dumb decisions with the ball. Those are mental, not physical errors. His finger may have affected some throws, but it didn’t make him put the ball in Diggs’ gut twice.
To me, that’s the compromise. Let him start, see if he picks up the pace of his mental processing, and if he doesn’t, end this charade once and for all at QB. But under no circumstances should this continue into next year unless he unequivocally shows he’s an elite QB.
And as an aside. His injury woes are not an endorsement either. He got hurt last year when his snaps increased. He’s been hurt multiple times this year. At some point, that matters in the evaluation.
