Taysom Hill: America's Most Overrated QB

[pbmax]

Hill with a 19 yard run and a 50 yd completion on the Saints only Td drive so far. Anyone of you stubborn goobers want to admit you were wrong about this guy?

Nope. Still not the #2 QB.

[MadtownPacker]

Ha! What about after the slash TD he just got?

[QBME]

Just happy we don't have to deal with him next week.

Shoulda had Hill covering Rudolph.

Strawman. You still won't admit he should have made the roster. It's laughable at this point.

Looking back through the thread, it appears you are the one making straw man arguments. I think virtually everyone would agree they would have liked to have kept Hill on the roster, especially with 20/20 hindsight and imagining that the Packers would use him as the Saints have. As far as being the #2 QB two seasons ago, it appear no one wanted that, except you. There are other arguments floating around where you make decent points, but as far as making the case for Hill being #2 on the depth chart at QB, you don't have much to recommend you. No one wanted him as their #2 two season ago, which is why the Saints were able to sign him to special teams. He still has just 6 completions in 13 regular season attempts, and the Saints were uninterested in seeing him as their backup.

Now, next season is a whole new issue. Certainly a third year QB might have an opportunity to fight for the #2 spot, somewhere, even maybe with NO perhaps after a trade (either of Hill or Bridgewater to another team) but that's a completely different situation than a raw undrafted rookie FA being selected to back up Aaron Rodgers in August of 2017.

Whatever. My very first post in this thread started with, "Taysom Hill was too talented to cut period"
The title of this thread is that he is overrated. And it's meant to poke fun at the people that lamented his release. I made clear that I thought the frustration stemmed from seeing how much of an all around difference maker he was. Not whether he was the back up. You see posts of people being unwilling to say he deserved a roster spot. It's just silly and telling that we are talking about whether he would have been a better straight up #2 QB compared to irrelevant players like Kizer and Boyle. All the while he was another NFC playoff team's best performer today.

All I'm saying is my frustration is warranted.

As I said, you make compelling arguments for keeping him, but not in 2017 as second in QB depth. And the thread title is about overrated as QB, not as all-around physical swiss knife gadget man - in that role he has done very well.

But is he our best TE ? .....J/K....kind of

He made more plays today than Jimmy has all seson............and does he throw a better deep ball than Rodgers ?

Very True; he would have intercepted it ))

[smuggler]

Saints looked a lot better with Hill on the field. Even when he was under center.

I normally don't dabble in this shit. I think this is the first time. But what a fuck up letting this guy walk. He is a true utility player. A better Joe Krabbenhoft if you will. Great NFL glue guy.

I don't think the intention was to let the guy walk. I think TT made the judgment that other teams wouldn't be interested in a 27 year old injury prone undrafted rookie QB. 99 times out of a 100 he would be right. On this one he was wrong.

Now that made me laugh.

Wow I had no idea he was 27!! Crazy. What the heck was he doing the past 5 years? It pains me to think we kept on the old backup whose name escapes me (the dude that started when ARod was hurt in 2017 and was really bad) instead of Hill. Hill could be a major weapon on our offense this year.
