Hill has literally no statistics to back up this assertion.

Training camp will put a lot of questions regarding Taysom, JT etc to rest. I remember G Grayson (many thought he was the heir apparent to Brees) looking like a deer in headlights when inserted a couple of camps ago. He was totally lost outside the pocket.

IMO both will have to show up and show out @ camp to take Savage spot @ #2. A very capable back up with NFL starter experience.

I'm afraid this is the deer in the headlight we will all find when Brees retires. It ain't going to happen in the draft. We can only hope that some proven QB wants to travel to New Orleans for Payton.

See you and I watched the same games.

I don't recall the game but there was this great come from behind win but it was cause of him that put them way behind. lol. He just isn't consistant and fans were calling for him to be replaced a few times this past season... and every season reall.

The reason for the stat difference which I pointed out in an earlier post is because Hill only played 37 games while JT's stats were based on 50. That's an entire season folks.

...and Hill has 4 tackles in the NFL already

JT hasn't even tied his shoe strings yet.

HILL is the next Guido Merkins.

You also have to look at the talent level on both teams. Ohio state is only next to Bama in recruiting talent. BYU isn't even in the same paragraph.

We could go season by season. He never had a good year.

He's a winner. Brings athleticism to the position. I don't think he could have found a better spot. But, he's a practice squad guy at best in the NFL.
