Re: Taysom Hill, Saints Reportedly Agree to 'Unique' Hybrid Contract Worth Up to $95M

This is the reason I was hesitant to answer the poll question you put out Guids. On this thread I generally agreed with you about the Hill contract in that it’s not a bad deal. Yet you won’t allow me to say that I don’t know if it would be a steal. We go back and forth about what our opinions on “steal” is. So You wonder Why I would hesitate to answer a worded poll question; it’s because you would later use it to prove some point on an unrelated topic.

If Hill can add one more position this contract could be worth it. General Manager. Our current one does stupid things.

As is usual...there is no right or wrong, only speculation and subjective opinion. Experts of your own subjective opinions, the same as everyone else.

Dude, I question myself every day. I consider myself an expert on nothing.

Another reasonable question about a contract that pays Hills as a QB or gadget player, is whether he will have any value as a gadget player if he is disgruntled about not being the starting QB. As a receiver he has to catch 3rd down passes and in the backfield he has to block, all to extend the drives of the QBs he may feel stole his rightful job. So I think he may lack the talent to be an above average starting QB in the NFL, but his wanting to be one after waiting his turn until Brees retired may poison his value as a gadget player. Its not bad character, many of us might not want to work for a colleague we feel stole our promotion and might spend more time polishing our resume than working on the project. I just dont know if I trust Hill to totally want to catch the pass that cements a different QB as Brees successor. In his interview after this new contract, he only seemed excited about playing QB and seemed to indicate any other role was settling. So what is the value of someone who wont be happy but you still have to count on them?

I think you are totally misjudging Hill. Of course he wants to play QB, but he also wants to play football. The guy has his head screwed on right. He is a man of God. A family man. He isn't the disgruntled type.

A man of god is still a man. It is human to resent feeling passed over. Every religion has had leaders who were passed over or denied as lofty a position as they desired, became dissatisfied, and broke off. When I hear Hill talking about wanting to play QB it doesnt sound to me like he is totally ok with not being the qb. Thats not bad, its just human.

True Dat. But the desire to be good at what you do is priceless. No matter what position you are playing. I played 12 out of 15 positions in rugby. I have bad depth perception so I couldn't catch too many kicks deep or to the edge of the field. I played all of them with the same amount of enthusiasm. Although, I was born to be a hooker!
