Taysom Hill on future: "I want to play quarterback in this league, and if New Orleans don't view me that way, well then I have to leave."
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

I have been a huge defender against the THill hate, but he isn't likely to be a good starter...almost no on is until they are. Even Burrow is about 50/50 to be perfectly honest. What are there, about 20 effective starters at any given time? How many "can't miss" prospects flop.Originally posted by pbmax View PostPrima Donna!

That said, should some team give him a chance and a starter gets hurt, I like his odds better than about 20 of the backups in this league. If GB has a chance to bring in Mariotta or Hill, I want Hill.
I get that "its preseason", but guys have to perform there before they do in the regular season. Hill has done well. As well as any current backups. With his elite athleticism and todays standards should he prove an effective starter he could have 9-10 solid years.
How many QB starved teams wouldn't take that.
If I'm the Dolphins drafting Tua, or a Patriots team with ??s, I want him in camp. I can think of many teams in need of a QB, and the only thing really working against Hill getting a chance right now is that many of those teams draft high and will take a QB of the future that they want to see. I could see him in NE, breaking out, and us all cursing Hoody's existence.The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince Lombardi

As a backup, I get him. You change the offense and you let that maniac go nuts. What do you have to lose? Run your normal offense with Deshone Kizer? I ma not even sure the QB friendly Shanny-McVay-LaFleur offense helps you that much there.
But I wonder if he is looking for a commitment to play exclusively QB or a commitment to start? If the former, I'd be OK with him on the roster as #2.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Its an exciting time to be alive:

It is now 10:30 AM Eastern and I will begin an in-depth film study of every regular season pass attempt of Taysom Hill's career.

I feel confident in saying that Taysom Hill is a better passer and QB prospect than Johnny Hekker, Jarvis Landry, Jaylen Samuels and other players who throw most of their passes on Wildcat wrinkles or fake punts.
Mike Tanier @MikeTanier
Taysom Hill needs a hop step and a windup like a right fielder throwing a guy out at third base for his deep throws, and his accuracy is best described as "eh, Michael Thomas will go get it."

I love the idea of Taysom Hill going to the #Ravens, #Cardinals or some Ravens impersonator as a Slash or emergency QB to contribute to the mayhem. As for "franchise QB," welp, all it takes is one coach who believes he has superpowers.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs.

I'd watch that old school offseason QB competition they used to have in Hawaii if they invited Taysome Hill and Derrick Henry to compete against 5 starters."Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand. Rather be as I am and feel real sympathy for his sickness." - Woodbuck

Hill is a fun player and I like how Payton uses him as a gadget, but he's not an NFL starting QB. You could get away with him as a backup, but he's a 30 year old player with some injuries who has thrown less than 20 passes in a real NFL game.
Was it a mistake to release him? Sure, you could argue that. He can't play ILB or be the #2 WR next to Adams so it's not a mistake on the order of drafting Mandarich.

I would have loved to see Rodgers do the precision passing drill they do at Pro Bowl weekend. Russell Wilson throws pretty good...would be interesting to see how Rodgers stacks up at 36.Originally posted by mraynrand View PostI'd watch that old school offseason QB competition they used to have in Hawaii if they invited Taysome Hill and Derrick Henry to compete against 5 starters.
