Why Not Start Taysom?

They won’t start TH because they would have to admit they were wrong. Simple as that

At this point, what have we got to lose, besides more games, which we’ve already gotten pretty good at that.

It's about buckets isn't it?

In the QB bucket, starting Taysom sounds like it might have value.

In the other bucket, the 'how do you fill that void' bucket it a lot less sensible. Taysom is dynamic and makes plays but a lot of that is him not being used on every down.

I think you just hit the nail on the head.

Maybe don't "start" Taysom, but DEFINITELY use him creatively and in some surprising play calls more, ESPECIALLY with all that we have going on (and not going on) this season. In the very least, it's more fun for the fans.

If they bottle him up in the pocket, Hill has to beat you with his Football IQ (seeing the field/ decision making) and his arm.
I don't see either of those scaring any Defensive Coordinators in the NFL.

BTW, who is 'they' that would have to admit they're wrong? Just curious.

The offense is much more productive when he plays at any position. If he starts at QB and we lose, how is that any different than what’s happening now. There is only the potential to win, at this point. Or, at minimum, a chance to galvanize the fan base.

As we all witnessed yesterday, it takes a team effort for all parts to click the way we all want, including Taysom's contributions.

I was wondering the same thing when I read that.
