this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; finding a QB is hard, I'd like to see what JT can do over time, but as far as finding another Brees...ain't gonna happen...

Hill is the second coming of Aaron Brooks. |

But anyone puffing out their keyboard warrior chest and strutting around their room like they put me in my place by pointing out my 70 odd posts just shows me they lack the ability to argue the point at hand. My posts were sarcastic, yes. Sorry, but they went at specific points which none of the detractors countered successfully. Hill had 1 half, that doesn't make him garbage. Him coming out at his next opportunity and making the same mistakes without any growth would be a warning sign. Truth. I'm just saying I don't think he's a bust, especially not at this point. Slam me all you want for my mainly lurking and reading on topics that interest me versus posting thousands of times. That's okay. It's all good, in the end I'll cheer with any of you at any Saints game if I'm standing nearby. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk |

I thought from the beginning Payton was playing some sort of a game hyping this guy up. Didn’t know if it was a draft strategy or building him up in the eyes of the media for use as future trade bait. He’s exposed now. If Brees goes down I expect us to sign Bridgewater. |

Re: Taysom Hill falters in first start as Saints drop preseason matchup to Cardinals
I really do not want to see Savage make this roster. He is washed up as far as I a, concerned. I don't believe in developing a player for 2 or 3 years. Either you go "IT" or you don't. Look at the overall performance of he three players and let the other 2 go. Hill can play special teams which is a plus which may help him stick around and be an emergency option so they may keep 2. I say JT is probably their best option at this point. If he doesn't come around we could be in big trouble. It's really hard to find a franchise quarterback. It looks like there is going to be a big drop off for this team when Brees goes. It's going to take a lot of luck to find his replacement.

Re: Taysom Hill falters in first start as Saints drop preseason matchup to Cardinals
I know I'll probably get flamed for this (I may deserve it) but I think we've bought too much into that angle. In 11, 12+ years, coach has yet to develop even a backup QB despite taking more than a half dozen bites at the apple.
LIKE THE ONE'S I MENTIONED 4 PAGES AGO? YOUNG QB'S DRAFTED SINCE 2009 TYLER PALKO, SEAN CANFIELD, GARRET GRAYSON THE FREE AGENTS ACTUALLY TO MAKE OTHER ROSTERS CHASE DANIEL AND RYAN GRIFFIN |

Re: Taysom Hill falters in first start as Saints drop preseason matchup to Cardinals
I still think coach puts a lot of value in the experienced guy with the clipboard, who has veteran experience when it comes to seeing stuff and talking to Drew and the O line on the sidelines, and especially for having ice water in his veins when holding those crucial kicks and extra points in clutch situations. Mark Brunnell being the classic example, but there have been others. Luke McCown. Coach Payton likes guys like that. Remember, Mark Brunnell was the steady-handed veteran holder for head case kid Hartley, hit the fleur de lis, pigs have flown and all that. Guys like McCown and Brunnell may not have burned up the stat sheet but they were always pretty solid under the bright lights and high pressure on special teams.
