The Thing People Don't Say Taysom Hill (1 Viewer)

I didn't forget Jim Thorpe. He would have to be the Most Versatile Athlete of All Time, and arguably the Greatest All around Athlete Of All Time. He was an Olympian, a Professional Football/Baseball/Basketball Player. Sticking strictly to Football though, he didn't play at quite as many positions. His playing time was from 100 years ago.

Red Grange " The Galloping Ghost" would be another player to consider but again, not to the same extent. He dates back 100 years ago as well.

Not to the same extent but as for old school versatile players there is also:

Steve Van Buren a dominate RB and a great DB (his first 9 games he had 444 yds rushing and 5 INTs) and George Connor. My understanding is that George Connor could have made the HoF at any of 3 positions DT, LBer, or OT. He also has 76 return yards on 5 kicks, 89 yards receiving and 7 INTs.

That's digging deep. Very Nice Effort to add to the mix.

Taysom Hill cured my diabetes.

He also saved my puppy from a bear attack once.

He should be president of the universe.

the last one is true, at least that is what Zaphoid told me.

If Taysom were named the starting QB when Brees retired... We'd be the 2 time defending NFCS Champs right now.... With about 10 gloriously ugly wins per year in this horrid division.... And I'd be totally fine with it... Every number known to man says the more snaps he gets at QB, the more unbeatable the Saints are... The only people that don't seem to get this... are Saints coaches, and fantasy football fans. The guy is a total beast and winner... I'm glad we have him, and sad that we don't use him on every play.

I think Payton saw enough to know Hill was not a NFL quarterback. Payton wanted it to work with all of his soul. But Taysom just couldn’t get the ball out in time, resulting in chronic underthrows. But I’d love to see more of what we saw against the Colts.

Taysom Hill is the ultimate weapon. This offense is cooked without him
