That frees up AK to be AK, Shaheed to be speed, Olave to play harder, and (I guess) Jimmy Graham to keep resting? The man can throw, and if receivers are covered, the ground fireworks begin! Anyway, we need FIRE on the field… and it AINT coming from our Coaching staff.

What Taysom does is play old school smash mouth football. UTILIZE HIM, and watch it be contagious. I know Taysom will be smiling. So will the fans.

WHODAT!
Don't disagree... but he wasn't given the chance when given a chance way back when they were trying to decide between Crablegs and Getsom Taysom, way before CD4's entrance into the picture. I think we were all premature as fans, but especially the coaches, in determining whether Getsom could man the position and not be what he is now, a gadget player. 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.

Actually, he didn't break any of Youngs records. I've heard people claim that before, but it's very false. Steve Young isn't even close to any of the records at BYU. Taysom isn't in the top 10 in any of the passing lists there. Ty Detmer and Jim McMahon hold most all the records. 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

In the For what it's worth department, the Saints currently have BYU'S #1 Jamaal Williams and #6 Taysom Hill (the only QB) all time leading rushers on their roster. Way back in 1973 drafted their #10 career rusher, Pete Van Valkenburg.

The QB competition between Winston and Hill in 2021 was very fair and Winston deserved the starting job. Hill did get his opportunity after the Winston injury, but Hill's own injury problems didn't help his cause for being considered a starting QB for future seasons.

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.

Remember that in 21 Hill was essentially a ROOKIE at starting QB. He just needs a year under his belt.
