Yes it is. Coach Lombardi says it. Near the end of the article.

It was Lombardi.

Quote:

“Certainly pound for pound. He might be the strongest squatter,” Lombardi said. “The guy is a freak athlete. I’ve never seen anyone like him at this position.”

Brees trade rumors. I would entertain it. Less than 24 months have to deal with it. Him and Ingram.

Let's hope he only holds clip board this season

And the next three

Is Underhill's e-mail posted with that article? New GDPR-rules in Europe makes it so I can't currently see that site.

Then I guess it's a good thing you aren't the Saints GM. Keep entertaining yourself. :D

Maybe we've got a Steve Young to geaux with our Joe Montana???

Just kidding, let's pump the breaks; but I guarantee PreSeason games will be that much more interesting for Saints fans this season...

UDFA QB's who play on special teams becoming good starting QB's pretty much never. I'm sure Taysom will be a guy to watch in preseason but he's no heir apparent to #9.

TheOak 05-25-2018 08:12 AM

Re: 'I've never seen anyone like him at the position': Taysom Hill is off to a good start at OTAs
 
That quote strikes me as odd considering he played 5 seasons at QB for BYU, went to his combine, and it’s his second year on the team.

Lombardi has never seen him throw before?

Pumps the brakes? It's the off-season, JP. Let's hype all we can! :bng:

I’m so sick of hearing about this guy but not seeing anything with my own eyes. With all the hype he better be good. Until I see it with my own eyes it’s just offseason fodder and posturing.

Hey how many of us believed he was the QB after Brees. I won't say anything else right now but I'm laughing inside

This is a joke right?

foreverfan 05-26-2018 10:04 AM

Re: 'I've never seen anyone like him at the position': Taysom Hill is off to a good start at OTAs
 
But will he be over the Hill before Brees retires?

I'll always be cautious when SP or the coaches heap praise on players during OTA's.

According to Payton back in 2015, Josh Hill is a pro bowl level player....

This is going to be a pretty tiring narrative this offseason.

First Pre-Season Game is just eleven weeks away...

...and Hill's had some pretty big catches for us...

Leading in to camp ... here is a quick nugget on Taysom Hill. Side note ... check out the jets at 2:30. He's pretty damn fast.

But can he play QB? No one knows......not even the QB coach.:wink:

TAYSOM HILL - YouTube

How can you not pull for this kid!!! Hope he sticks around.

I like all the “He’s old” claims. What’s that make Brees?

Guy is a walking infirmary. How he made it to the NFL and actually made plays in real games is beyond me.

Re: 'I've never seen anyone like him at the position': Taysom Hill is off to a good start at OTAs
 
Speculating with Taysom Hill is the same as playing with house money - affordable salary with Lombardi, Carmichael, Payton to develop him...

And there's that Drew Brees guy as well...

It's not like we have two first round draft picks invested in him...

Re: 'I've never seen anyone like him at the position': Taysom Hill is off to a good start at OTAs
 
He did great on STs last year. I don;t care how much he squats though; can he read defenses and is he super accurate?

If Taysom Hill is beyond..... then Rocky Bleier is so far in front he's sneaking up from behind.......

While serving in Vietnam He lost part of his right foot and took a bullet in the thigh......

While he was recovering in a hospital in Tokyo, doctors told him that he could not play football again.......

He was put on injured reserve for the season, but returned in 1971 and played on SPECIAL TEAMS. He spent several seasons trying to get increased playing time, and was waived on two occasions. But Bleier never gave up...

Bleier retired after the 1980 season with 3,865 rushing yards, 136 receptions for 1,294 yards, and 25 touchdowns. At the time of his retirement, he was the Steelers' fourth all-time leading rusher

NEVER SAY NEVER

I always pulled for Bleier back then. Hardnosed as hell.

Hated the Steelers, but after watching his story Fighting Back: The Rocky Bleier Story (1980), learned to appreciate his journey, testimony...

It comes down to the old cliche about not the size of the dog in the fight but the fight in the dog EGGSPURTS call it INTANGIBLES.

Re: 'I've never seen anyone like him at the position': Taysom Hill is off to a good start at OTAs
 
Come Training Camp, Taysom Hill will have had significant time to have learned the offensive plays and lexicon and will be afforded a great shot...

He has rare athleticism to complement his quarterbacking abilities...

Whether Hill makes the team or not, Taysom will have had as good an opportunity as anyone...

Plus, the team must feel Savage will be the best reserve that was available and Payton must feel they can fix his flaw to make him better...

But we're only going to the next level if No. 9 is under center...
