Re: Baldy's Breakdown on Taysom Hill

Since "THE OLD #7" Payton has won 7 consecutive games with a "BACKUP QB" A win is a win is a win! You don't get "style points" for playing QB. Ask Joe Kapp or better yet Bill Kilmer.

I don't think Taysom will be as successful this time against Aintlanta. His game last week wasn't very good and there is more film on him to study. He can win though with the right game plan by Payton. No one schemes better than our coach.

Me either. Given the denver tape. I think Atlanta will say, ok taysom you can beat us with your legs, we’re gonna take that away and make you beat us with your arm.

With Taysom, the games and wins will look differently regardless. But, I don't doubt he can rise and perform to any occasion.

Payton let's Taysom do just a little bit more each game. We still don't know what he's fully capable of yet, but his playing time has to have helped his performance.

Re: Baldy's Breakdown on Taysom Hill

Got to secure the football though. That Atl fumble (punch out) late almost cost us.

Correctable but it's still a concern.

Re: Baldy's Breakdown on Taysom Hill

Taysom throws alot like Cam. Everything is a fast ball. I want to see him add more touch along with taking care of the ball because teams are going to try to punch it out every time now.

Re: Baldy's Breakdown on Taysom Hill

There's been a couple of plays where Taysom has demonstrated touch. I've seen what I've needed from Taysom. He has the "It" factor. He needs some more games under his belt. I remember someone on the forum said a few weeks ago(I can't remember who so I'm not pointing fingers) that a guy just knows how to read defenses.. that it is something between your ears and you either have it or you don't. This is the NFL. Reading defenses isn't just something you know how to do.. they will keep changing it up trying to confuse you. Experience plays a lot into this. You think Brees goes to the sideline after every bad possession and looks at his tablet for no reason at all. He's trying to figure out what the defense is throwing at him, where to attack it, etc.

There are usually two scenarios(that ironically are both playing out with Taysom Hill) when a new QB comes into the league. A) Defenses take a minute to catch up with the QB(these QBs are usually mobile or tricky to deal), they catch up with him... and the QB has to go back to the basics and either learns how to adjust to whatever they do or he doesn't. A QB can go from looking like an All-Pro to looking like he doesn't belong real quick. B) The second scenario is the guy has to catch up to the speed of the defenses, their tricks, etc. He may come out of the gates as an Pro-bowler or something(Mahomes), but he's still learning and adjusting. Scenario B is within both scenarios, everyone has to learn how to play in the NFL or the will bust.

With Hill I see kind of both the catching the defense off guard kind of thing and the learning process occurring simultaneously. I expected a few bad throws to occur. I've also seen him make some really good reads, so he isn't clueless. He may look worse before he looks better. Still, after 3 games, I'm not sure if I could have asked for anything better. I mean instead of throwing the ball, he could have just ran all over defenses and scored a bunch of points(cause I'm really questioning if anyone can stop him from running the ball right now). This would have aesthetically looked better, but it wouldn't help him long term. You have to kind of judge him partially like he's a rookie. Playing in a game is not the same as playing in a practice. You get used to throwing against your defense in practice and pick up on patterns. Taysom is a unique QB so different coordinators are going to throw some curveballs at him. A full season under center and I truly believe he'd be pro-bowl caliber.
