Good. I think it would be a mistake not to keep him for another year.

We should have traded Teddy. He's not the QB of the future for us and we shouldn't pay him a ton next year, therefore we should have gotten some value for him this year. Perhaps we feel some obligation to keep him on the team this season considering what he provided to us...I see no other reason not to trade him.

Respectfully disagree... If SP had let him, instead of Check Down Teddy, play, You'd be singing a very different tune. He did break Steve Young's records at BYU.

Teddy plays smart. I think that's what Sean likes about him. Hill, well, we don't know. But I have an idea that Hill plays more from the hip, so to speak. I'd LOVE to see him get a shot, but I think Sean felt like Teddy is the "smarter" QB at this point.

I think that’s the main reason they went with TB from the get go. Taysom at this stage would be a high risk high reward type guy. I could see him making a lot of huge plays but I could also see a lot of turnovers. Teddy was safe.

I like Hill. I'd like to see him get the gig. But I'm willing to bet we don't go 5-0 with Hill playing QB. Honestly, I'd rather see us invest in Teddy than another WR at this point, and I know the two aren't equal from a GM perspective, but Teddy is a cerebral QB. That'll win you more games than it'll lose you games.

I agree about Taysom and agree that Teddy is smart and can win games. He’s proven as much. I do question if he is the guy you want in there when your down two scores with under 10 min to play. I really want to see him when Payton just lets him play. Not saying he’s not the guy, he’s better than many QBs who are starting for other teams.

I'm good with keeping him, but the price has to be reasonable. He is the highest paid back up in the league now. A valuable asset for sure, but not worth starter money.

I don’t think anyone would offer him anything close to starter money. As he sits he’s a third string Qb. I don’t see him going from that to starter money without any work in the regular season. I’d be ok paying him more just for his versatility but that’s it

We've got other worries right now.
