Hill getting chance to prove himself for Saints | Pro Football Talk | NBC Sports

Alex

I completely agree!! Taysom is a winner, watched him all through college as well, he’ll do what it takes to get it done! Amazing athlete too

    Yzcq

    yeah just not at QB

    jay 1988

    People said Tebow was a winner to. Sadly to be a good QB you have to be able to throw.

    Calvert Williamson

    And

Captain Spock

a running qb who has a suspect arm with a torn plantar fascia. don’t play him in fantasy.

TSmitty3000

Has Florio watched Russell Wilson stink up the joint this season?

michael dailey

The Saints have skill player issues as well !! Alvin Kamara can only do so much , they need a legit #1 receiver , and a high end TE plus a consistent QB !!!

JWS

Finally! Someone gets it! Mike Florio just said in this video what I have been saying for the past 5 years. Taysom has not been given an ample opportunity to show what he can do yet some HATERS want to constantly bash him (for obvious reasons) even though we only have a small sample size. And thank you Mike for pointing to that Vikings game. I would encourage all of the Taysom haters to go and watch that game. Like Mike said Taysom was the best football player on the field for both sides. My only point is give the man a legitimate shot. Let him start the next 6 games and see what he does then at that point you can judge him more accurately. I believe what is not talked about enough is the intangible he brings to this team which is an infectious personality that inspires all of his teammates to pick up their games which the Saints need right now. I am 100% behind you Taysom. Now, go prove them wrong!

    PegasusJ

    Yeah he sure proved them wrong alright. The guy is 32 yrs old and still learning how to be a qb. He’s not a qb and if he was a free agent who’s starting Taysom Hill?

    markula4040

    Did throwing 4 picks prove anyone wrong? Your comment is why people hate on him. Hyping someone before they’ve earned the praise will always draw out people on the complete other end of the spectrum.

    PegasusJ

    @markula4040 I’m confused? I’m guessing you missed the sarcasm. I don’t think Taysom Hill is a starting nfl qb and I don’t think he’ll ever be that

    Wise Wolf Tony

    @markula4040 Also got Simms saying something as stupid as Hill being just as accurate as Tua and basically implying that Hill is just as good of a QB. Yea guess that’s why he’s 31yrs old and hasn’t been given a chance to start at QB for anyone. And when the Saints had a choice between Hill and career backup Siemian they went with Siemian.

    Calvert Williamson

    There are not enough chances before Taysom drop dead.

Eman Cash

Simms I agreed with everything until you said every bit as accurate as Tua. That’s a big no, Tua is extremely accurate over the middle and in the short pass game. Taysom accuracy is just good enough. He’ll miss some but his balls are usually catchable. His footwork, his knowledge, experience is just what needs to improve. He has hella ability. He’s a freak

    The Bagel Chief

    @Wise Wolf Tony I’m not saying Hill is the second coming. I listed his stats based on his performance up until that point. I also don’t understand why he was still playing when his finger got absolutely wrecked. It makes no sense. Absolutely stupid of Sean Payton. Also, Tua has had like 4 good games if that. Relax y’all.

    Sam Estep

    @The Bagel Chief Yep the stats don’t lie: 46% completion rate and 4 INTs… Such accuracy. Also, Tua has played his last three games with a broken finger in his throwing hand and still managed 2 games with an over 80% completion rate. No excuses.

    The Bagel Chief

    @Sam Estep As I said, the stats “up until that point” aka before the game but I guess you can’t read. I am not making excuses for Taysom. I am saying why tf did Payton keep him in the game when they had Siemian more than ready to go? Also has Tua been playing with a splint on his poor broken finger? It seems not.

    Sam Estep

    @The Bagel Chief I’m just providing you with updated stats since they’re apparently the only information you can digest. And yeah you were making excuses for Taysom and yourself otherwise you wouldn’t have even brought that up.

    Eman Cash

    @The Bagel Chief just stop trying. Tua is a more polished passer and easily more accurate… Numbers say it and flim says it.

Just Jamie

Dude went 3-1 not 4-1 lol

    C

    big difference lol. nice job

anthony Jordan

Trevor lost every game he started
🤮

Rob W

When both were healthy, Sean Payton started Winston over Hill. That says something. Kamara has been ruled out for tonight, so I give the Saints low odds to win or even cover.

silentandcliche

This was insanely cathartic to hear.

Andrew Carey

Why he gotta come for plumbers like that like that

TEA CELL

How long has Thill been with the Saints? Didn’t he audition last year? Did he audition for preseason? Don’t Taysom know the play book more than JW, Simean, and Ian Book? So he should be good tonight right? I wonder if someone can tell me why other teams are not dying to get this guy according to this channel doctrine? Or is this scripted news?

    Calvert Williamson

    Which is why I think Hill and Payton are lovers.

Kaylum Goodell

Finally, I feel hill will show what’s up tonight

    Fady A.

    Do you really? We’ve already seen that Hill is terrible at throwing the ball.

    Wise Wolf Tony

    Yup he showed what up that he’s a 31yr old gadget player and was the Saints 3rd option at QB for a reason.

    Calvert Williamson

    Explain yourself.

Albert Bennett

They just forgot about Winston lol Winston the qb of the future for the saints

The Shōgun Blaze

I agree with Chris but QBs do need time to develop at least 30-35 games to see what u have

jacob koelfgen

They’re high if they think hill can play qb he can run and do gadget plays that’s it

Tig Miester

Taysom cannot I repeat cannot throw the ball 70 yards and I know ima saints fan

Fady A.

Taysom Hall is “Mr. Do it all”. Just another way to say he can’t do anything well enough to dedicate to it. He’s definitely not a good QB and the Saints know it.

dynomar

Put him as the flex guy and a special teams guy. He’s a great athlete but unfortunately not a position player imo

Calvert Williamson

Hill and Payton have to be lovers. How many auditions does one get?
