Week 13 Other Games

^ All that is true, but I think misses the point.

Can anyone else recall a valuable QB or QB prospect who played ST other than to hold on FG/PAT?

Maybe your question misses the point. Sean Payton thinks out of the box. He doesn't need precedent. His special teams are super crappy. Hill is a big body and fast. He probably offered to play special teams just to make the active roster. After making a couple really good plays on special teams, Payton looked extremely pleased with himself. Hill did too. A win-win. Payton probably figured it's a chance to see what Hill is made of. He said if Hill got injured he'd have a year to rehab. Hill probably figured he had nothing to lose and everything to gain. I know my opinion of him changed. When he was with the Packers I pegged him as injury-prone because of his history.

I wouldn't say he's better than Hundley, but maybe Callahan. You never ever really know.

The point of the question still being that Hill is the #3 QB after Chase Daniel and is not the heir apparent as was suggested earlier by someone with a Payton quote.

Actually we can blame Aikman. He made it sound like Hill was Payton's guy.

My bottom line on Hill is that, ironically, he's Kappernick-like [without the baggage] in his ability to run. Better than Hundley, better than Callahan...and a running QB is our best chance of winning w/o Arod if you're not going to go out and get an experienced backup who can pass.
