Some of these running QBs are more slot receiver than Hill. Taysom runs that zone read down hill. He plays on coverage units. That’s in addition to the rest of his role (punt returns, Rb, wr, QB). Those other guys can do some of what Taysom does but not all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is he a gimmick or is this a new position for the NFL ? Could call him the Jack Back. New like Kordell Stewart new or like Brad Smith new?

I don't think they'll be playin LJax on coverage units though - you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBean Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 If it wasn’t for Hill I don’t think the Saints could win a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 What is the "effect" of this guy? Seems like every time he gets put in we can all anticipate an incomplete pass. Couple of carries a game. When he's in there and Brees isn't, I always assumed Brees is behind the blue tent taking a leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that his role is a growing one around the league. He’s a guy that can create matchup issues because you never know where he will line up. Every team would love a Taysom Hill but not every team has him (or Sean Payton). How does his package compare to Joe Webb's though? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can run a lot but throws well. That’s why he went in the first. These other guys are more “gadget” players. They CAN play QB but can also play all over. Jackson has done some of it this year but his long-term plan is QB. They won’t expose him to the collisions on a coverage team. Taysom, to me, is a fast Tim Tebow (with a genius coach).

HomeskillitMoorman Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Hill is not a gimmick. Most of the plays he's in for tend to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigotz Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Nobody has ever done this before ... DEFINITELY not Kordell Stewart 20 years ago when he lined up at QB, RB, and WR and was called "Slash" instead of "Jack Back." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Hill is a good football player and a contributor to the Saints success, but they would still be doing very well without him. While some have mentioned Brad Smith and Kordell Stewart, a better comparison that goes back a number of years is Jim Jensen of the Dolphins. He came into the league as a QB, but played receiver, tight end, running back, special teams and threw the occasional pass. I think he was bigger and more physical than Smith and Stewart (his nickname was "Crash"), which makes him a better comparison to Hill. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Jensen_(wide_receiver) Edited November 19, 2018 by msw2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
