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

Taysom Hill was a quarterback when he entered the NFL, but his time with the Saints has seen him fill a lot of roles on offense and special teams.

Drew Brees’ retirement has led to a shift back to his original stomping grounds, however. Hill is competing with Jameis Winston to be the new starting quarterback in New Orleans and said it is “something that I’m not taking lightly and I’m going to give it everything I’ve got.”

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.

Our team is better with Hill at his current role. Even if he truly is slightly better than Winston we would win more games with Winston at Qb and Hill as a utility player.

That simple concept seems to escape some people.

But Stevens just got cut and became available ... :bng:

With a 90 man roster limit what does that tell you? Where would he fit on the roster? Does anyone have confidence he can fill the Taysom role? He was a shot in the dark like most late round picks.

He might be...but Winston IS.

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

That's true with Brees as QB. No matter who is around Winston...WE KNOW who he is. Winston WILL lose us some games. Hill is all upside AND A LOT OF IT. Remember the guy is still GROWING into the NFL QB position. AFTER WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR THIS TEAM --- HE DESERVES --- THE OPPORTUNITY.
