The Official Eating Crow About Taysom Thread

The Dude · 11-29-2020, 06:46 PM

I’m on the Winston train. I think we know what we have in Taysom. Winston has a higher ceiling if he can stop with the interceptions. At least we know he CAN win the game airing it out if he has to. I don’t think we win many games with Taysom if we get down early.
Ball security is still a problem and his accuracy/indecisiveness issues are very real.

Based on the last thing reported that Hill was instructed to be a game manager and not take risks, I'd be fine giving him another shot. He didn't play terrible. He was just ineffective. If he plays like garbage against Atlanta, then pull him and put in the dork.

Our team knew how limited Denver was going to be offensively (and they were) why push it pass wise? Not smart football. 9-2, 3 game lead in the division. Why not enjoy?

If the throws he made were anywhere near their intended target I would agree with you but even a game manager needs to be able to connect when called upon. Taysom was just inaccurate and didn’t take a couple of safe throws to receivers that were wide open.

I think it was less about accuracy and more about the indecisiveness. Hill looked gun shy and scared all game, it’s clear that he isn’t going to be able to handle the pressure of being a starting QB week to week.

I don’t think we have Drew’s replacement on the roster, and I say that being a big T Hill fan... or at least I was, first game was all luck, it’s very clear that he’ll be about as effective as Tebow.

The best solution is to keep your fingers crossed that Brees comes back and we have at least one more year to find a replacement. That said, anyone is going to be a huge step down from Brees. That is a fact.

Supremely obvious, love him on the team just not as the starting QB.

I'm curious, why do you think we can stop his INTs, and you do realize in addition to his 30 INTs last year (in his 5th year as a starter!) he also had more than 10 fumbles. I love our D, but empty yardage on top of 40+ turnovers isn't gonna get us another Lombardi (IMO)

Exactly, Winston is who he is.

When he came in vs 49ers, he threw a gimme interception that the DB dropped.

I don't think his interceptions would magically stop here.

Perhaps but will hill go through his progressions and read the field better? He missed some wide open guys out there that were safe throws not triple coverage throws and instead threw into double or triple coverage
