Taysom Hill views himself as a franchise quarterback, wants to be with a team that views him that way

Rugby Saint II · 02-11-2020, 11:30 AM

I'm hoping that New Orleans will keep Taysom in his current role for years. It sounds like Taysom wants more and I can't blame him for trying but he fits so perfectly in Sean Payton's game plan.

What is Taysom supposed to say - "I want to be a utility player for the rest of my career"? Speculation is getting more and more pointless lately.

Fix the O line (nasty GUARD) & defense or it won't matter who is under center in 2020.

Just a short list of QB's who have beaten us in the post season over the years.

Hasslebeck, Grossman, Alex Smith

, Russ Wilson (I can live with this one), Keenum, Goff & Kurt "How you like dat" Cousins.

I say let's start Take Some Taysom at Free Safety and start knocking fools out

.

^^^ I'm only kidding guys on Taysom @ FS ... just adding a little humor to what has been a very disappointing season. So tired of losing games late in the post season, not using the L Train (avg 10.5 ypc) to close out teams or having the refs influence outcomes in games.

End rant

.

This sounds agent driven

That's an extremely difficult decision to make. It's been his life since he was a boy dreaming of doing the things he's done on the football field. You don't just easily walk away from that without time for reflection. More than one player has retired and then come back to the game because they miss it's "vibe" in their lives.

Sometimes it's not for the love of the game it's just for the money. Although, I do believe that drew has invested his money well....except maybe for his jewelry investments.

After winning his lawsuit he actually did pretty well with that jewelry investment.

In all seriousness, the heir apparent to Drew is on another team or preparing for the upcoming 2020 NFL draft.

IMO that 5-0 stretch was killer coaching. I trust they will make the right decision when #9 exits left.

And ELITE play from a healthy defense. All Teddy did was not screw up. Honestly that’s probably all that was asked of him. I do not think we saw what TB can or cannot do based on those 5 games.

I was going to add pretty much the same thing. Bridgewater has been getting FAR too much credit for the five game streak. He didn't win those games. What he DID do was not lose them.
