Taysom Hill: America's Most Overrated QB

[pbmax]

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.

I honestly believe they have decided that they have spent enough money on the QB position with Rodgers and the most they will live with is a rookie or an exclusive rights FA.

I agree, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

I agree that if they need a back up for more than a few games they are screwed and it won't matter who it is. But I REALLY don't think Kizer is capable. Hopefully we will not have to find out.

Kizer might not be, but my point, as always, is that Hill is probably worse.

The Taysom Hill Fan Club probably feels that our starting WR's should be Janis and Abbredaris.

But he left his unconcussed self there.

He heats up; he can't cool down. Got me spinning round and round.

The bottom line is the dude was too talented to cut. That's why a team that's been better than the Packers lately, scooped him and utilized his talents. That's where the frustration is. 2nd string, third string, better option than Kizer, whatever. None of that matters. Him not making the 53 is an indictment on MM and the previous regime, period .

I disagree. Mostly because the Packer's problem the past couple of seasons wasn't at the bottom of the roster and not having a physically talented 'gadget' guy hanging around. Their problem was a much deeper drop in talent all across the roster. That the Saints didn't see him as a competent #2 tells me that the Packers probably made the right call with him. They certainly didn't need a gadget man when they were signing guys like Eddie (not so) Pleasant right off the street to drop game sealing INTs. It's just not that critical. Debating about guys like this is what you do when the season is already a total loss, or you're so good that you know you can tinker around with players 51-53. Like getting lathered up about Travis Jervey's phenom speed in '96.

[yetisnowman]

You disagree that he should have made the roster? Bridgewater may be the best backup in the NFL, so the Saints keeping him really isn't much of statement on Hill's talent. He may be a gadget guy in your eyes, but the dude is an athlete that makes plays. Great weapon on STs, around the goal line and in short yardage situations. He scored a couple TDs last year, that's better than a handful of the scrubs we have filling out the bottom of the roster on offense.

I argue who cares, when they had larger problems. The point about NO isn't whether Teddy is the 'best backup' but that NO didn't want Hill as their backup. Neither do I.
