Are you saying he can't read and write?

Would his pregame speech fit in here , though?

Crazy talented, but needs polish and can lose his cool at times. (see sideline incident against Saints)

Still, not sure if the Saints should consider him.

I don’t want his goofy ass over here.

I'd rather grab Brian Hoyer, who it looks like the Colts just cut. Or possibly Joe Flacco. No need to groom anyone because Taysom is the dude we're grooming.

Taysom is an exciting athlete, who is becoming a star as a TE/WR. And it's time he moved to that role full time.

Because he is not an NFL QB. He's not the future there. I'm sorry. He wasn't a good passer in college, either. An elite athlete is always what he's been. And by the time Drew retires, he'll be, what, 32? I don't understand the Taysom as heir apparent talk.

Nope. He'll be 35.

SIRIUSLY!!! Why would the SAINTS WANT A 35 year old QB!!??

Who do they think he is?
LUKE McCOWN!!!

GAMES 62 STARTED 10 PASS COMP 216 PASS ATT 356 COMPLETION % 60.7 YDS PASSING 2,370 AVG PP 6.7 TD'S 9 INT 15 QB RATING 71.3 RUSH ATT 34 TOTAL YDS 177 AVG 5.2 TTD 0

Considering Taysom Hill has not started or played a complete game at the QB position. The few passes he completed went for an average of 9.2 yards. Nearly 3 yards more than Luke's career and nearly 2 yards more than Drew Brees and Matty Ice's Career.

The preseason game against the Chargers he went
11-15, 136 YDS, 2 TD for a 73% completion average & 12.3 yds PP

Sure it was a preseason game but using his passing stats based on "gimmick" plays to determine he is or isn't NFL starting capable is ludicrous.
