Taysom Hill: America's Most Overrated QB

[Carolina_Packer]

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.

If the Packers had backed the right horse, and could have swallowed their pride with Randall, and put him at what appears to be his more natural position of safety, perhaps they could have solved their own back up QB issue by identifying talent sooner (I was more on board with Hill than Callahan as the backup). I guess that decision with Randall would have somewhat hinged on whether they knew at that point they didn't want to keep HHCD. If they already knew they didn't going into 2018, then keeping Hill would have made trading for Kizer unnecessary. If they were still sour on Randall, perhaps they could have gotten something better for him than a backup QB.

Someone just tweeted at me that Cam Newton is "nowhere near" the level of athlete that Taysom Hill is. Might be my cue to log off forever.

who really rates him as a QB? he never comes up (that i remember) in any discussions about best #2's in the league. he's a third stringer...so he's rated correctly. now...as an nfl novelty, he's very interesting. he's a contributor. trick plays, odd formations, etc. a stacked team like n.o. can use a guy like him. a team trying to build itself up can't afford the luxury of him.

Depends on your definition of athletic. Simply based on movement ability, Taysom Hill is superior to Cam. But if you factor in the size difference, Cam is more impressive (25 lbs heavier). Also, at this point in their careers, Cam is beaten up and not near his maximum numbers when he was drafted, while Hill is still fresh and can run full speed on the field.

Sean Payton, in a colossal mistake, puts in Bridgewater instead of Hill and loses to the Rams after Brees hurts his finger.

Guess the Dolphins aren't the only ones tanking games.

Brees going to see a hand specialist this week.

You sure are fixated on this narrative. Will you keep pretending like he didn't deserve a roster spot if he accounts for more TDS than Jimmy Graham this year?

Where do you put the gimmick if you are still trying to figure out your offense. With Graham, always a chance he will (try to) block.

[yetisnowman]

Short Yardage, Special Teams, Goalline. I'm not sure exactly what your point is. As if talented, versatile, athletes aren't valuable to a team with a new offense? You guys act like when he gets yards it's only on double passes or hidden ball tricks.

Now you're coming around....

Sigh...just when I thought you were catching on. Jimmy will NEVER block. He may try, but he won't do it with any effectiveness.

On this I am actually more ambivalent. Would I like a slash player? Sure.

But there are more needs on the team than they have spots. They needed to carry 8 WR last year just to have a chance to find three (didn't work).

But he still isn't a starting QB.

He got on good one on the backside of a run.
