I really don't see it and I don't think Payton does either, despite what he's said publicly. Taysom is a great guy and a really good athlete, but he is not and almost certainly never will be a starting caliber QB. I know a few folks here think that he just needs time and experience, but I don't believe it's that simple. If it were then the list of failed QB's wouldn't be so long. So many were given years as starters and never developed. And those guys didn't take years off to do missionary work and then come back to the sport later in life. I love Taysom and I love that he has so many roles on this team, but starting QB will never be one of them. Payton knows this, and he knows that Teddy is capable of taking over this team and keeping us relevant for years to come. I'd rather not see us fall back into QB purgatory for...possibly decades, and if we let Teddy go then we're staring it in the face in the very near future. |
