Should get something for Bell too right?

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

I wasn’t convinced Taysom Hill was really Drew’s successor but now we’ve drafted a mobile QB with more of Taysom’s style.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

So I’m assuming this guy is going to take over the role of hill when he becomes the starter?

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Exactly. I think that pics showed a sign of commitment.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

It’s looking like the Emmanuel Sanders signing cancels out the 6th rounder we would’ve gotten for Bell.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

So he will take on the Swiss Army Knife role?

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Sure, if the Saints want to be trendy, for no actual reason. There is no statistical analysis stating that a running QB leads to more wins. Last time I checked, QB's who are proficient at just passing the ball, still win games.

Every now and then, you get a couple of good years out of a "dual threat" guy, but then they start getting beat up. Which makes it financially irresponsible to run that style of offense, consistently. So, yeah, maybe they will change to that. Or maybe they won't. I'm getting a little tired of being told to "get ready" for it. as if it is somehow necessary that this happens.

Lmaooo
This dude is trash but whatever it’s a 7th rd pick haha haha

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

I’m reading the tea leaves. Payton is a trendy kind of guy. When the 3-4 was big he wanted that. When the Seahawks Cover 3/Cover 1 system became the thing he wanted that. The mobile QB and RPO’s are the thing and now he wants that. I’m excited to see what the offense will look like with Hill or any other mobile QB they so choose. Shaking up the playbook has been long overdue.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

In all fairness, Taysom Hill was “trash” too.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Big facts.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Push comes to shove, Drew retires after this year. Saints give Taysom the job for a year and see how he handles it. If he is terrible you just rebuild.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Idk. I think Payton tends to jump on defensive trends because defense really isn’t his strong suit. Offensively he is a trend setter. Look at all the teams that try and emulate him. I see Payton changing things based on personnel and what other defenses are doing.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Taysom Hill is not an NFL QB. I can't say that enough. He wasn't even a GOOD passer in college. What he is, is a great athlete. The Saints are using him right, when he is running routes and taking hand offs. They need to make that permanent, and stop squandering valuable playing time, by trying to make him a QB. It's beyond idiotic.

Stevens, like Taysom, was a terrible college passer. Stevens, UNLIKE Taysom, is NOT a great athlete. He's a "good" athlete. Nowhere near Taysom's level with the ball in his hands.

So IF Sean wants to do something else, he doesn't have the right QB to do it. Period.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Sean used to be a trendsetter like 10 years ago. McVay and Pederson took over that mantle years ago.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

I’m not necessarily disagreeing, but I am saying that Sean Payton might disagree with your analysis on whether or not Hill can play QB in this league. I think they believe he can, and I think you’ll see #7 under center next year.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

I'll just say that it would shock me if this ends up being true. It takes a blind man not to see that Taysom is not the future at QB.

I think Payton is being coy when he talks about the possibility. I have a hard time believing he is serious. I hope he's not.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

FWIW, the Saints had Stevens send them video of him running some routes.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Just to remind, Trautman played qb in hs, we may be on the brink of tearing this whole damn thing up

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Get the feeling that QB Payton wasted a pick on would have been available as an UDFA....

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

I'm sorry, but the Saints are full of themselves if they think they can just take any crappy QB and make him a Taysom Hill. Taysom is a rare athlete, who should stay at receiver/tight end. END the QB project!

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Soooooo.....No Mason Fine ? Damnit Payton just this one thing that's all this one thing.

For G sakes he works out with Drew...toss em bone man

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

What would you guys think about this scenario when it comes to the QB situation:

Brees plays for two years (while winning two SBs, obviously) and retires.

The Saints trade for a disgruntled Aaron Rodgers, which is the earliest he could realistically be traded for under his new contract.

The Saints keep on marchin' and collecting Lombardies...


Just spit-balling for laughs.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Bryce Hall … dropped to the 5th. Thought he was thought of as a 1st/2nd round talent?

His medical scared teams off perhaps?

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Speaking of QB's …

It's been reported (per Dan Raggs) that the Saints have been in contact with Free Agent and former Buc Jameis Winston throughout the draft.

I'm not saying he'll end up in New Orleans but this could be something to keep an eye out on in the coming weeks. We have nothing behind Brees with legitimate NFL caliber experience.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

If I send a video of my fat azz running around in my backyard, will I get free season tickets for the next 5 years??

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Well by the statements on us trading all day 3 picks 4rth through 7th are all unnecessary 🙄

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

The forum is going to hate that ****! Lmao.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Talent-wise he is way better than Teddy. I believe his weaknesses can be coachable. Arm talent was never in question with Winston. Few years in Saints system, who knows... Funny thing is, he has same stats as Peyton Manning did in Indy first few years. lol

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

If the front office is fully on Taysum Hill bandwagon then you have to wonder why Winston would agree

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Well some believe SP can turn a swiss army knife player with minimal QB experience into a starter but question a whether this same coach can turn a 4500 yard/30 TD into a franchise QB. Jameis has a lot of upside.

If the Saints were even remotely interested, he'd be an emergency QB. Some may disagree here but Winston is actually better than 2 Glove Teddy.

I wouldn't put anything past Sean Payton.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Apples to Oranges my friend.... Wouldn't you say? One is a case of questionable character going back through college at least... and the other is lack of experience and utilization.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Only if you can steal crab legs from a Publix grocery store...and have video to prove it. :bng:

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Well .. he's a Saint now.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

How much would ya'll donate to the site to see me steal some crab legs from Winn-Dixie? Times and tough with CoronaVD and all, ya feel me?
