Impr

Look, I'm not going to post links. If you want to know more just Google him. There's plenty of good articles out there to read, especially after yesterday's standout performance, & Troy Aikman's comment during the game quoting Sean Payton as saying Drew Brees' replacement is "in the building" (referring to Taysom Hill).
But I will say this, Sean Payton loves this guy, and he was so confident in Hill's athletic ability that he activated him to the roster this week to play Special Teams for the first time ever.

Is Taysom Hill going to be Drew Brees' heir to the QB position? Or just another Guido Merkens?

A Guido Merkens reference. Awesome! Im 42. Never saw Guido play but my dad told me the stories. Did he play QB, WR and punt? I saw a interview with a hall of fame Raider CB. Forget his name. He was asked about his worst NFL moment and he immediately said he got beat on a long TD bomb to Guido Merkens a 3rd string utility player for the Saints. We have tried this before. Aaron Brooks was an athletic QB plucked from Green Bay too. We cut Hebert for an athletic QB named John Fourcade. When I was a Who Dat toddler I thought Fourcade was the next coming of Terry Bradshaw. Oops. Ditka cut Jim Everett who passed for a ton of yards in his career for Heath Shuler who was another big strong fast QB. I say wearing #21 in college shouldve been a giveaway of his QB abilities. None of them had Sean Peyton as their coach though. Being a RB who plays QB out of BYU has worked before though. Do we have the next Steve Young? Could we be like the 49ers and go from one hall of fame champion QB to another? I hope he blocks a kick this year.
