It's not just patience with Bridgewater, if he's not the guy going forward, that'll be clear, real quick...

Say Brees is coming back in six to eight weeks and we've somehow managed .500 +1 win ball at that point...

During time Brees is away, roll with Bridgewater...

If it's evident he'll be no more than a conservative, Brad-Johnson, check-down, ball-control passer who, one, won't throw it downfield, and two, won't run for the first down - then he limits the offense...

So, if his play has had no positive-WAR, why not take this Drew-less time to evaluate Taysom to see if the PreSeason was a fluke, or if he's the real deal...

If players genuinely rally to him, a must to win in the NFL, then you have to discover that now - otherwise you miss opportunities to take a replacement for the position in the next couple of drafts...

Several reasons:
1. It's week 3 and we're 1-1.
2. Not long ago Teddy won 11 games with a defense similar to this one
3. Teddy is a QB, Taysom is a do-it-all player
4. Teddy gets an entire week of practice & prep with the 1s
5. Payton crafts a game plan for Teddy's strengths not Drew's

This ++ because to me, it doesn’t even look like Teddy believes, which is a shame. Teddy is trying to be perfect, which paralyzes him.

Hill basically seems to do whatever it takes and asks forgiveness later.

I would gladly be wrong about it, but this is what I see

As per those highlights - without the very start - TB is much more than a "gamemanager" or "check-down king" or whatever unfavorable description we can come up with.

He has a strong arm and can be very accurate - just check out some of those tight windows he throws to and the sideline throws. He can go over the top, which is shown in the video, and in that one throw the ball is in the air for 50 yards.

He doesn't have the quickest release and needs proctection from the O-line while making his reads. On the other hand, he can make some really good throws while moving and that is something Payton can exploit by changing his launch-point to help with the protection - bootlegs will be especially effective if Kamara gets hot in the running game.

All I'm saying is that there's a good football player there, who is much more ready to take on the responsibility that comes with the QB position than Hill.

That TB film clip FinSaint uploaded says otherwise.
