Saints should give Taysom Hill a chance to see if he can get something going at quarterback

Good luck to Taysom tonight!

Its definitely a good idea to give him a chance but as has already been said, this team is now decimated with injuries and neither Trevor or Taysom have had or will have a lot to work with unless we can get some of the starters back on offence!

SP is always quick to say in the post game interviews that you can't use the injury situation as an excuse for losses but it's obvious with so many players out it has to be the major factor!

Just one of those seasons that looks like its going to be a damage limitation situation i guess!

I'm not being negative when I say this but just another win would seem like a Super bowl victory at this stage!

WHO DAT! GEAUX SAINTS!

Saints fans shouldn't expect Taysom Hill to be a 'miracle worker' as starting QB; here's why - YouTube

I am failing to see which QB on our roster has not had a chance(s) to see if they can get something going.

We are 5 and 7...

Maybe this week Taysom can have some key pieces (Armstead, Ramczyk, Kamara) back to make the job on offense more reasonable.

I think this speaks volumes in the confidence, or lack thereof, that the Saints have in Ian Book at this time.

If the Saints have grown cold on Ian, they would cut him or waive him to try to get him onto the practice squad. There are limited (53) roster spots and the Saints can certainly use them all given the major influx of injuries.

One thought I have considered is that perhaps Payton has high confidence in Book, but does not want to add him into the QB controversy for this year or next by putting Book on the field now. Maybe he wants Taysom to have his shot at the starting gig (albeit in an injured state).

Regardless of you are are a Book supporter or a detractor, it is perplexing.

I simply think they don't feel he is anywhere near ready yet. I feel Taysom gives us the very best shot at winning at this point. I suspect Payton feels the same way.

I still think if Taysom can't throw the ball go to plan B.
Use Trevor behind center and keep the gadget man in the game to run the ball, block & short out passes.
If plan B doesn't work go to plan C ??

The Jets defense sucks. We can pull a Belichick and run the ball every down.

Just say no to Trevor man. I've seen enough.

My hope is that Ian continues to develop, work hard @ film study and on the practice field. At some point, I hope he progresses to a solid #2.

It's still Team Taysom time.

2022 ... different story.
