He did after all break Steve Young's records at BYU. He just needed a little more time under center, IMHO. It's a shame now... we'll always be wondering how cool it is to see unfold before us the next and maybe the last Frank Gifford.![]()
At some point they'll have to let "Pretty Boy" Haener run the show. Only injuries will let that happen, like what occurred in Frisco with Purdy. | |

Even Jets "bust" Zach Wilson finished ahead of Taysom in all of the passing categories.![]()
Hill is in the top 10 in rushing yards for career and a single season, however. And he did finish in the top 10 in total offense ahead of Steve Young helped out with his rushing numbers BYU Records Taysom Hill's BYU Stats |

https://www.draftsharks.com/fantasy/...som-hill/10193 Fast forward to today, Winston clearly beat Haener for the number 2 job, but with that said if Winston continues to struggle in the number 2 roll, then a switch to Haener for the number 2 job needs to happen. Back to Hill, considering his age, in the near future I do see the possibility of him being a true number 2 QB and removed from most of the gadget duties. |
