Aaron Brooks. He had 14 fumbles back in 2003. He had at least 11 each year from 2001 through 2004.

Re: Taysom Hill - The Pocket Passer?

If you have a spare hour, watch this clip for an assessment on Hill.

I can't say I agreed with everything Deuce Windham said (I don't think he's harsh enough on the O line at times) but most of the stuff he says about Taysom are pretty spot on in terms of tape.

Taysom not being able to read a D pre-snap really makes him defeat himself.

Re: Taysom Hill - The Pocket Passer?

It could also be that reading the D pre snap may not be as important as it once was and being a “pocket passer” is outdated. Looking at how QBs like Jackson, Wilson, Allen, and even Rogers have been successful when they extended plays by getting out of the pocket for long throws, I wonder if that’s not the way to go. Isn’t that what Hurts just did to the Saints D?

Haven't watched it yet, but Brees' quick decision making would cover many of the blemishes of pretty much any offensive line in the NFL.

I wouldn't say so. Do you realize that Hurts managed only the second fewest passing yards (167) given up by the Saints all season? The only QB with less (12) was the Bronco's practice squad WR.

Just saying.
