Taysom Hill: “Really nice” to tailor all offseason work to playing QB

Hill thinks his bid will be helped by spending an entire offseason playing quarterback after years of splitting focus among a variety of spots.

“Yeah it’s nice,” Hill said, via Rod Walker of NOLA.com. “Look, at the end of the day and when I first got here and I started doing all this stuff, the answer when I was asked ‘hey, what’s the end goal for you?’ has always been to play quarterback. I’m a quarterback at heart and that’s my mindset. That is really nice when I can tailor all of my offseason program to being as good of a quarterback as I possibly can.”

He better be ready to switch back to that other role of a weapon. He'll be needed there.

I do wish him luck, and if he’s the man so be it, but I don’t see him at the helm with a guy that can throw 30 tds on a whim. I don’t think Hill can throw 30 tds in 2 seasons he can run for them though.

He might be another 30-30 guy. 30 tds 30 fumbles.
