Gawd, you need every.single.thing spelled out for you. Ok, try to keep up now. When I said no one gave grayson the same benefit of the doubt, I was referring to people here, on this forum, not the coaching staff.

Yes, Taysom had a single half. He's also had an entire year with the team, and an entire training camp. His single half was a complete disaster. GG had some pretty pathetic showings, granted, but never anything as bad as what we all saw from Taysom. If he proves me wrong someday and actually does develop into a solid QB, that's fantastic. As of right now, I'm 99% sure that won't happen. I've been watching football for over 20 years, I've seen enough mid to late round and undrafted QB's come along to feel comfortable in my assessment. If you, or anyone else wants to hold onto hope that he's gonna be the exception, then you are of course within your rights to do so. I have as much right and plenty of reason to think otherwise.

I don't need to keep up, I'm light years ahead of you. I was right there with you hoping that GG would find "it" but he never did, and never could.

GG never showed half the promise Hill did in any realm of athleticism or QB capability. Hill is a project and you don't just toss a project out because of 1 "disastrous" half. You take the context of good and bad and see what they've learned and how they've graded out over the course of camp. You look for progression and if there is none...then you scrap the project.

Again, look again at Payton's reaction after the play I mentioned. I'm guessing he's tracking his progression a little bit closer than you, me, or anyone on the boards. As has been stated we need to see more than 1 half before saying he's got no more than a 1% chance of getting a job.
