The Official Eating Crow About Taysom Thread

[TheOak]

I’ve had some time to digest and I have two lines of thought on Taysom Hill.

As a person, how absolutely amazing it must have been to be him this morning. Wake up and be able to know that all your hard work and struggle to get on that stage as a starting NFL QB, paid off. May have been the first time he’s ever said “fuc4 yeah”!!!. The feeling this morning must have been better than winning the lottery.

As our starting QB, I’m cautiously optimistic. Partially because our offense has been inconsistent for a while now. Mostly because of the points below.

* That was the Falcons and they aren’t spectacular, 5th worst allowed completion%, 30th yards allowed, and 3rd to last in total defensive rankings.
1. As pointed out, no one has tape on him as a QB yet. That changed yesterday.
2. We don’t know if SP will game plan to his strengths, or try to make a Drew out of him.
3. If he plays his style, how is his durability.
4. Can he keep his head out of the dirt and clouds through this very distracting transition.
5. Does our inconsistency go away with Taysom Hill under center?
6. Once SP let him carry on 3rd in the second half he seemed to extend a few drives where I would have expected us to 3/out with Drew.

A lot of unknowns on the player. The rest of the offense seemed to respond to him very well. Even MT caught a couple

Too bad "DEFENSES HAVE TAYSOM FIGURED OUT" or the score may have been 48 - 9?

I feel like the team and Taysom weren't in sync to start the game and progressively got closer and finally towards the end of the first half synced up and looked amazing.

I just heard that Taysom called the wrong play on the very first play. It had to go uphill after that. LOL!

It was a good opponent for him to match up against in his first game. It doesn't look to get any tougher in his next two starts before Brees returns.

Well said but all stats are out the window when these 2 meet. The clowns were all out the best game they played this season and our no2 out shined a stained britches QB. That was pounded by a improving defense that could carry this club till drew gets back

So according to an Analyst who spoke with Payton, Taysom was supposed to bring MT in motion and then MT runs a short out for an easy completion.

Its a credit to MT too that he noticed Taysoms mistake and just got to his landmark regardless for the completion. Thats thinking on the fly.

Sure it does. Have you watched any of the Denver games this year? Specifically their defense? This game will be a much harder opponent than the Falcons. Tua took a beating on yesterday before Flores finally pulled him in favor of the bearded (Fitz) guy.

Vic Fangio will throw all type of exotic looks at our inexperienced back up QB.

Denver will not be an easy game at all for the Saints and Taysom Hill.

You mean the defense that surrendered 40, 30, 34, and 37 in the four games before this week's matchup with the Dolphins' rookie? As for their offense, they have scored over 21 points only three times all season and managed less than 19 points FIVE of their ten games.

The NFL is a week to week league AG. You stated that it " doesn't look to get tougher" in the next two starts and I disagree. Anyone who watches the game will know this. Taysom will need to be on his A game against a Fangio led defense.

Denver will be no cake walk.

By the way, let Brees heal up. There are no guarantees he'll be back at it in a couple of weeks. His body needs time to heal properly.

Coming into this week Atlanta has looked much better than Denver. I have watched the games. I'm sure you have as well. It is a week to week league as you pointed out. One week of defensive opulence by the Broncos against a rookie does not make them formidable. You do realize that the Falcons were one of those teams that put up 34 points against the daunted Denver defense, right?

That Fangio led defense has been shredded by all but bad offenses thus far.
