Is Taysom Hill the new Tim Tebow?

With the exception of Ryan, what do they all have in common? ... all injured frequently. Brady, Manning, Aaron Rodgers are the best quarterbacks the NFL has seen in the past five years, and they don’t have the type of mobility that some of the others have. Rodgers, Tom and Brees have been elite for years due to their ability to read defenses and make all the throws.

At this level, you have to be able to sit back in the pocket and "spin" it.

#9 has spoiled most of us.

All of this is so true. Living in Florida and having to endure everyone talking about him as if he was the second coming for so many years and I always said all he could do was run the read option. Also, Urban Liar showed he didn't have a Plan B either. I know this is all spoken like a true Canes fan.

You have mentioned about 50% of these guys that have no career. I wouldn't mind seeing Matt Ryan doing it a bit more as to render the Failclowns more inadequate than they are. Cam does do the read option fairly well, but it costs them dearly as his ego makes him be the option more than he needs to. The majority of those dudes you mentioned are no stranger to injury.

I'm still in a wait and see mode. I've heard all the hype and now we'll see him get some reps. Personally, I'd like to see Savage win the back up job. He's coming off his first contract. So he's still young and when I saw him play before he got hurt I was impressed.
