The biggest disappointments in the NFL at the midway point

I don't care if it hair-lips the Pope as long as it helps the Saints win!

25. Taysom Hill package is Saints' most annoying feature
If you've watched any of the past five Saints games, you've surely heard announcing crews reveal how much Sean Payton loves Hill (well, just not as a backup quarterback). The versatile third-string QB now makes regular cameos on offense.

While it certainly provides interesting TV, Hill taking snaps limits Drew Brees' opportunities. Hill's up to 21 carries and has attempted three passes. He's taken more snaps handing off to Saints backs, too. Brees is in the MVP race and is forced to stand at wide receiver. This feels unnecessary.

Annoying?
2 for 3 passing, 2 first downs and a 109 passer rating.
21 rushing attempts for 123 yards, 5.9 ypc for 9 first downs and a touchdown.

I think the author is annoying.

Agree. This must have been a last minute filler piece.

"Brees is in the MVP race and is forced to stand at wide receiver. This feels unnecessary."

The object is to win games. The object isn't to have Brees win the MVP.

Idiot indeed.

Probably causing him to lose fantasy games so in that context, yes it is annoying as hell. Caused me to lose one but oh well. I don't care if I lose the rest of them if the Saints win. Hurting the Brees and Ingram owners the most. Kamara only a minor hit.

Re: The biggest disappointments in the NFL at the midway point

My only qualm with the Hill usage is we always seem to go to it on 2nd down with like 8-10 yards to go. Now I can see why 2nd down makes more sense than first but still we might want to mix it up a little more.
