Re: Taysom Hill falters in first start as Saints drop preseason matchup to Cardinals
Bottom line is that if Brees goes down we are screwed.

I think we all realize it, almost like we are running on borrowed time.
Every game I hold my breath when Drew takes a hit, and of course comes the short prayer... Please Lord we Who Dats don't ask for much if there's any way you can keep him upright for just one more season. |

I've come to believe that it's simply about talent & we just lack it at the position behind the Great Drew Brees .
I hope within the next couple of years, we pick high with real proven talent at the collegiate level & develop at the QB position. Brees can't do it forever. |

Accuracy can be taught, and he's already pretty darned accurate to boot. His command & the respect he carries as a rookie is unreal. You can't teach that. He can be developed b/c he grasps concepts so quickly as his football IQ is remarkable. We've now seen Taysom in the big moment crumble under the expectations put on him. Sure it was 1 half & he can certainly rebound, but it's a bit unsettling if he's the #2 and being one hit away from commanding this offense in this division. Honestly I'd take J.T. over Taysom & Savage in that situation. |

I'm glad to see you posting more though. Welcome back. EDIT: I like Hill. Read my earlier posts. |
