Is Taysom Hill the new Tim Tebow?

SmashMouth · 05-25-2018, 10:08 AM

Both high character qb's with a strong build, both known for athleticism and running ability. Taysom has some questions about his throwing potential etc, both bring their lunch pails to work.

Would we need to see his jump pass skills first to make a determination?

Big differences

- Hill will play any where you need him to make the team.

- Stronger, faster.

- One was drafted so you have that investment where Hill wasn't drafted HUGE UPSIDE if he ends up being a #2 or even a starter.

Payton is just stroking this kids ego so he can keep him on special teams cheap.

That, or building him up to flip him on the market to get a few of next year's draft picks back.

In all seriousness, let's hope Taysom is nothing like Tebow at the QB position. I'll be frank for a second ...Tim was terribly inaccurate & had a very odd throwing motion. That read option stuff he had so much success with at Florida, won't work at the NFL level.

#9 has spoiled most of us.

Tell that to Kaepernick and Russell Wilson, RGIII, Tyrod Taylor; coaches just have to be smart about it... Which they weren't with RGIII

Cam Newton is another one... I've even seen Matt Ryan do it once in awhile...

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.
