Re: Who is Taysom Hill?

Look up QB / P John Hadl of the Chargers he wore #21. 6 time pro bowler.

Me First Me First!!!! Taysom Hill Guido (Has to be special to someone here) Merkens 2.0!!!!

Re: Who is Taysom Hill?

He's 27yo. If Brees makes it to 45 like he wants, Hill wont be our QB til he's 34

He was asked about his worst NFL moment and he immediately said he got beat on a long TD bomb to Guido Merkens a 3rd string utility player for the Saints. We have tried this before. Aaron Brooks was an athletic QB plucked from Green Bay too. We cut Hebert for an athletic QB named John Fourcade. When I was a Who Dat toddler I thought Fourcade was the next coming of Terry Bradshaw. Oops. Ditka cut Jim Everett who passed for a ton of yards in his career for Heath Shuler who was another big strong fast QB. I say wearing #21 in college shouldve been a giveaway of his QB abilities. None of them had Sean Peyton as their coach though. Being a RB who plays QB out of BYU has worked before though. Do we have the next Steve Young? Could we be like the 49ers and go from one hall of fame champion QB to another? I hope he blocks a kick this year.

I was lucky to see and remember him! I recall watching games just to see where he was going to play. I saw him play WR, RB, QB, punter and even was a Center

That was the original claim. Regardless he is blazing fast. And every QB is smarter than Vick so not really a thing.

I gained my nickname a couple of year before Merkens became a Saint. I became a fan of his right away.

Re: Who is Taysom Hill?

I hope we don't see him throw for the next 10 years, all because he's backing up Drew.

Re: Who is Taysom Hill?

The fact is Bum took a liking to Guido Merkens brought him with him to New Orleans.
It appears that history is repeating itself, did you see Coach's reaction to Taysom on the sidelines.
Guido was just that kind of a player you never knew where he was going to wind up on the field.
