Agreed. Taysom threw a bad ball, putting to much lift under it; but the play call was a poor one by Payton to expect a guy to come in cold and throw a deep ball strike, even if it was early in the game.

My take is that there are many quarterbacks that come into this league and struggle because they don't get the necessary reps to get their timing down and to adjust to what is referred to NFL Game Speed...

This is why I'd like to see a minor league system for the NFL so that quarterbacks could be called up and would have a better performance adjusting to Sunday game speed, offensive sets...

Also, folks tend to have short memories when reflecting back on certain players' careers who struggled mightly, even briefly demoted, before going on to NFL success...

The quarterbacking situation in New Orleans reminds me of the 1980's 49ers and Taysom Hill's skill set, situation reminds me very much of Steve Young...

Many aren't sold on him yet as Bree's heir apparent, but fans are spoiled with great QB play by the standard Brees has set, and Taysom Hill has got to have that game experience to develop...

Really believe Payton's putting Hill in all these packages is not only to get a great athlete on the field, fire up the team, but to try to find Hill some experience while still having the best quarterback in the league...

But, expecting a QB to deliver a deep ball strike cold without having thrown that many balls pre-game, and on the sideline, again, even if the play was early on in the game, just seemed foolish on Payton's part...

Other teams know he's a QB so it's not like WRs running a fly or post, are gonna be as open with a Kamara throwing an HB-option as Hill running; but I suspect we'll see this play again and Hill will better execute...
