I don’t remember a more interesting regular season game lol. This could be incredible or a complete disaster. Plus, it’s against the Failclowns so whatever happens will be etched in our rivalry’s history. I hope Taysom balls out with a couple TD passes and 100+ rushing yards. Despite my criticisms he’s our QB so I’m fully on board.

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

FIFY

Drew Brees is still our #1 QB and deserves to be so. As for Taysom this week ... I'll believe it when I actually see it.

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

No pre season. No starter practice snaps till this week. NO full games as a qb ... I for one am willing to give him a few rookie qb games to get up to speed, work out butterflies. However I expect he’ll be fine from start. Excited for the kid and the teams future.

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

Gotta play to Taysom’s strengths. Lots of play action roll out scrambles and shotgun QB draws.

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

I expect lots of zone coverages from ATL with a spy for Taysom to see if he can make the reads for the correct throw.

This is definitely going to be interesting...

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

That was my thinking too, play to his strengths and have a few designed rollouts.

Get him away from the pressure and the bootlegs always seem to work against us, maybe we should try a few with Taysom.

Hopefully the run game can take some pressure of him and allow him to hit some easy passes.

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

Of course, y'all are believing all of the speculation that Taysom will actually be the primary QB tomorrow. Some of the talking heads are already backtracking on those completely unsubstantiated rumors.

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

Yea, you the old saying no news is bad news in the press world. I think jameis starts and hill will come in here and there. Prolly a 70/30 split

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

I believe it. I think Payton knows it’s time to see if Taysom is the real deal or not.

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

He's done everything the coaches have asked from him and more. He's succeeded. He's excelled. He's the ultimate team player. I won't be shocked when he kicks a**.

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

I’d rather them start hill against Denver. Atlanta is gonna throw everything and the kitchen sink against us regardless of their record. It’s their Super Bowl

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

Gotta hope Taysom goes through his progressions. You can't simply take off and run at the most important position in football.

He won't last at QB doing that.

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

You mean be Brees.

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

That’s exactly right brother. Taysom is naturally a one read scramble type of QB so we have to let him play to his strengths and not make him stand in the pocket.

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

Why do you say that? When Taysom comes in it is always on a designed play with one read, check down, or scramble. That is all the latitude he is being given on four snaps or less at QB per game. As much as I think Winston is the better choice right now, I cannot doubt what I haven't had a chance to see from Taysom to this point.

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

Bingo! That’s all we’ve seen from Taysom. There really isn’t much of a sample size to even debate. We have to just roll with what coach wants. I just want to win either way!

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

Winston has ALWAYS been a turnover machine. Payton hates that. Me too. Nobody is perfect but "dude has a problem" that has not been solved. Maybe with a full training camp and lots of serious training.

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

The big challenge, if Tayson truly gets the majority of the snaps, is for him to manage the hits he takes. He's a tough hombre for sure, but it'd be hard for him to truck defenders on every run and hold up. He'll need to step out of bounds or go to the ground more often to preserve his body.

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

Absolutely, although he may not like it, if its an early down he needs to slide or run out of bounds and live to play another one.

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

I don’t buy into the “starter hype”, what matters to me is who the game plan was built around.

If the game plan was built around Kamara, the person under center is fairly irrelevant isn’t it?

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

What does matter is who helps facilitate that Kamara game plan. Brees executes it perfectly. Winston had issues with it last week.

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

Guido you are so defensive about Drew you can’t see that I’m not talking about him, or Winston, or Hill. Winston wasn’t executing a Kamara game plan or do you have a crystal ball? Murray had more carries. If you ‘know everything’, why are you here with the peasants... Certainly it isn’t to share your infinite wisdom, not with that tone.

Why not have discussions, share thoughts or ideas instead of trolling for people to argue with? I made a comment earlier in the week about something written in an article and you took it upon your self to tell me what I shouldn’t talk about... that’s not going to float brother.

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

You seem to have totally missed my point. I was agreeing with you that the QB isn't the main focus in this offense. Kamara is. It is the job of the QB to get the ball to him. I simply pointed out that neither Hill or Winston have been able to do that as effectively (to this point) as does Brees.

And that comment I made earlier was just saying that the collapsed lung was minor as compared to the ribs and nothing to worry about. It wasn't addressed strictly toward you but to everyone that was stressing over it at the time. I'm sorry if it offended you. That wasn't my intention.

Re: USA Today Saints Wire | Report: Taysom Hill to start at quarterback for Saints vs. Falcons
 

Right, without Brees playing the two QB's need to get the ball in Kamaras and Murrays hands on a regular basis.
Anything in the air will need to come out quickly. I'm sure Atlanta will try and bring pressure early and often and try to disrupt our QB's.
The Defense needs to step up and have a game like they did in the second half against the 49ers.
But remember we are playing Matty Ice and the Dirty Birds so I'm sure our guys will be highly motivated against the "Rise Up" boys.
