The Official Eating Crow About Taysom Thread

I have not seen Taysom throw any impressive bombs. The one a couple games back Sanders had to back track about 6 yards to catch. Drew has thrown some longer passes with zip this year so he has enough arm to say, put the team in position to win 7 games of 9.

Many folks point to Hill's performance in the playoff Vikings game last year. He completed 1 pass (50 yd gain). He was getting 12.5 yards per play as a runner and receiver.

I think there's a few throws that Taysom made that Drew could not have done. A couple of them were 3rd and 15+ after an offensive penalty and Taysom just rifled the ball in there. With Drew in the game, Payton likely calls that annoying WR bubble screen, gains 2 yards and punts.

There have also been plays where we needed seven yards and Taysom rifled it in their through the receiver's hands and other plays where he has simply clearly missed the receiver.

I repeat, Taysom has faced one of the worst defenses in the NFL twice and a team crippled by no QB on the roster active in the other game, while Brees has faced a top 11 defense in five of his nine starts this season. Taysom has done his job, albeit against inferior competition, to keep us winning, but he hasn't shown me anything other than keeping the boat afloat until the captain returns to the helm.

One more point on this subject.

For every rifled pass downfield that Hill makes that Brees can't, there are probably three passes made by Brees that Hill hasn't shown that he could make via touch or experience. For every one time that Taysom makes a play at QB with his legs there are most likely three that Brees makes through his decision making and accuracy that Hill hasn't.

I absolutely love Taysom and believe we would be at our best with him as the jack of all trades and Brees controlling the ship for as long as Brees chooses.

One thing Drew has above all is the ability to make his reads very quickly and has great pocket awareness. Unless somebody blew a block he nearly always has a chance to read the field

Taysom has a real hard time going down the progressions

Drew Brees has nearly 300 Career Starts, 283 to be exact, versus Taysom Hill having three (3) career starts...

Yikes! But you may have a point Diz. Idk.

I'm always good with Drew being in there. I just want him healed and healthy first. He needs to be on point for the playoffs. Let the kid keep things going for right now.

Think of this too...when Drew comes back and Hill comes in at QB, I bet teams are gonna think twice about not worrying about a pass. Lol. Probably **** their pants.
