Week 13 Other Games

So if Goodell suspended Gronk for 2 years, would Jones be less likely to force him out?

[mraynrand]

Right. And Payton agrees with you. Which is why the 3rd string QB is playing special teams, because he is so valuable.

I liked Hill's athleticism and competitiveness, but really, we have no idea whether he would have understood the offense. And we don't know jack about whether he has consistent accuracy or much of anything else. I'd like to take this moment to remind people how good Hundley looked in preseason too.

^ 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?

I was embellishing. To answer your question I can only think of Danny White, but he punted he didn’t run and tackle on ST.

Didn’t Tebow play ST before he was out of football? But obviously he wasn’t valuable as a QB.

Dan Pastorini use to punt for the Oilers.

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.

Suspend him for two years. Let it go down to 6 games on appeal.

Spoken like the President of the old American League!

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.

Ben McAdoo has been fired.

Here is your new Thursday Night 3rd announcer:


Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson
FYI: The lateral that @DangeRussWilson threw to @MikeDavisRB in Sunday’s @Seahawks @Eagles game was a legit “Galilean Transformation”. In their reference frame, the ball went backwards. It’s not their fault they ran forward faster than the ball.

In my reference frame, Neil deGrasse Tyson's weight increases dramatically as he approaches the speed of idiot.

He really probably couldn't be much worse than Hundley.
