Taysom Hill is probably the biggest curiosity surrounding this team right now. So, when camp opens, a lot of attention will be paid to him and his battle with Tom Savage to serve as Drew Brees’ top understudy. Winning is important for Hill's development so he can get more practice reps during the season.

I just want to see him so people will stop arguing as to weather or not he’s any good. I have my doubts about the hype.

Same here.

From what I've read so far, Hill is far away from starting or even "backup" caliber material. He's simply not there yet. At the end of the day, Taysom is a UDFA that will have to scratch and claw for a roster spot in 2018. He's a good story but most folks (myself including) don't understand how raw, unpolished & how much work he needs to become a competent QB at this level. Undrafted QB's who play on special teams becoming good starting QB pretty much never.

It will be fun to watch him at camp though
