But would you take him over Kizer ?

He's overrated in here because our backups suck so bad

How many times do you have to succeed before your good and not over rated?

How many times do you have to succeed before your good and not over rated?

Maybe if you start and look good in a season or two of regular season games?

I seem to remember some other QBs who were pretty amazing in preseason.

More than Matt Flynn I suspect.

True. But there is a reason Teddy Bridgewater was signed there and its not because they needed a 3rd string QB.

I'd take Flynn today over Kizer.

We should coax Favre out of retirement to hold the clipboard.

Flynn tore up his elbow. Not exactly the same. Look, I'm not calling Hill the next big thing, just saying he is a solid backup. If people are saying he should be starting then yes, over rated. If people are saying he is a good back up...better than most, then no, not over rated.

Are you accusing the Saints of a diversity hire?? RACIST!!!!

Are you saying what I think you are saying? I doubt things have gotten quite that weird.

The Favre idea mentioned - jokingly I assume: well, if Rodgers goes down, undoubtedly the season is in the toilet no matter who is our QB, but even at near 50 or however old he is, I think we'd have a better chance with him getting off the tractor and coming in than with anybody else who we have or remotely might have.

This is silly. He has as many pass completions as receptions - 3. He has 37 rushing attempts. Right now, he's no more than a gadget. He could be solid, but that's total speculation or at least an educated guess. I'll be convinced that he's a solid backup when he has to start a game for an injured Brees (or any starting QB). But, like PBmax suggests, that might not happen, because even NO didn't want to see that.

I am saying Teddy Bridgewater is the unquestioned #2 QB in New Orleans and that means the Hill is a #3 QB. So the online Packer fan meltdown over another Taysom Hill performance over 3rd stringers and soon to be cut opponents is getting tiresome.

Maybe Kizer will never be a good backup, but Hill isn't the answer.

Hill would be better than Kizer. As would almost any back up in the NFL with some experience. Kizer is pure garbage.

I don't think any of these claims have sufficient validation. Hell, Kizer's only thrown 42 passes for the Packers, Hill 7? for the Saints. So you could be totally right or totally wrong. I honestly don't really want to see either of them starting an NFL football game.

If the Packers need a backup to start more than a game or two, forget about it.
