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

As to the argument that Hill is too good at "swiss army knife" to put at QB... We've seen him with the ball in those all too rare situations and he has EXCELLED. Imagine with the ball in his hands EVERY DOWN. As far as leadership EVERYONE on the team loves the guy and the team gives NOTICIBLY excited play when he is on the field. For me, there is no question who should be QB. Hills College stats are also irrelevant. 72.7% first four games in NFL. So who cares what either did in College? Especially what Winston did in 2014. It is 2021 and there are 6 years of Winston NFL history. Everyone here used to MOCK Winston. C'Mon ![]()
Look if they play Winston I expect lots of disgust and Winston to lose the job by week 6 or at most 8. He'll be out of the league or a backup the rest of his career unless somebody is really desperate. |

What is so great about dumping off high percentage passes in a vanilla offense against crappy competition? You are hanging everything on that. Sorry, but that is nothing to hang one's hat on. Tell you what. If you are SO confident that Winston sucks so bad and Hill is the next coming of QB Jesus, I'll bet $40 you that Winston starts more games this season than Hill. Free money for me. As much as I like Hill as an athlete and a person I have seen nothing from him that shows me he can be a successful pro at QB. And as much as I have issues with Winston as a person I have seen that he can be very effective as a professional QB. Even outstanding at times. Afraid? PS. Yes, college stats are irrelevant, but you are the one that said the following in this thread ... "PS Don't forget Taysom broke all of Steve Young's records at BYU. " Check your history. Taysom never broke a single Steve Young record nor did he break anyone's record at BYU. I seriously don't see why you are so enamored by Hill, unless it is just that you hate Winston so badly for some reason. |
