Sherlock Holmes Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Backup QB extraordinaire, swiss army knife, jack-of-all trades... Sean Peyton is said to believe Taysom is the franchise QB of the Saints if Brees is done. Would you have interest in him coming in as depth at like 7 positions? I think we should cut Dimarco and have Taysom in here ASAP... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 There should be more options besides, infatuation and trash. Yes i absolutely would, but it would be mostly for fullback, Hback and TE with the rare QB play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Payton is an offensive mastermind and maximizes every ounce of talent on that side of the ball. It also helps that he has Drew Brees as his QB. I'm not sure Hill would be anything more than just another guy on any other team. I can't see giving up picks for him.

This Is kind of the point. Taysom isn’t worth discussing IMO because he isn’t going anywhere. He’s, arguably, the most popular player on the Saints. They continue to expand his role and think the world of him. Taysom just isn’t a realistic option for anyone but the Saints. The 3rd option should be, “It doesn’t matter what I think because he’s not leaving the Saints.” That option should receive 100% of the votes.

They are incredibly high on him. That’s not lip service from them either. Sean Payton saw some of the things Lamar was able to do and could tailor an offense in a similar manner. Before someone says, “but Lamar is so fast” keep in mind that Taysom is a 4.4 (faster than Kamara and Michael Thomas). Pretty sure he’d be the 2nd fastest QB in the league behind only Lamar. He isn’t just a if bodied guy. He’s an explosive athlete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Saints are just trying to hype him up so they can get more compensation in return for him. I’m gonna go ahead and call BS on the idea that they view the 30 year old backup to their backup as a franchise QB. Aside from the one flukey bomb he completed, they’re basically petrified of ever letting him throw the ball in one of the most QB-friendly systems in the league. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Just now, NoSaint said: I try to buy it but why didn’t he get more reps? Especially with drew out? My answer to that is the Saints thought they were a Super Bowl favorite. Drew went out in week 2 so this was before Lamar changed the league. I don’t think Payton was trying to experiment too much. He was hoping Teddy would hold down the fort (which he did). If they ever make the move to Taysom I believe that it will come with a semi-reset. I don’t think that’s this year either. I could see Taysom get worked in a little more as a QB this year with Teddy going elsewhere (which I suspect). They can run a Taysom package 5-10 plays a game and he would also serve as the number 2. That would give them the chance to get a deeper look at him as a QB and expand the offense with some of those Lamar elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Joe Webb v 2.0? No thanks, he's a good role player yet not enough to waste picks on. If Brees does retire Teddy Bridgewater is the guy who replaces him not Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I have little to no interest in RFAs until they are tendered. Dont want to give up money and picks, if we can just give up money on a similar or better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I’m not a fan of a player who is an “athlete” and doesn’t fit the mold of a traditional position player.

White Linen Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I'm not interested.

Taysom, is 6’2” and 221 lbs. He runs a 4.44. He scored 6 TDs on 19 catches and averaged almost 6 yards a carry on the ground!! He’s an explosive athlete.

Passing: 4/7 for 105 yards. 0 TD Rushing: 27 carries for 156 yards. 1 TD Receiving: 19 catches for 238 yards. 6 TDs. 50 touches. He's like Christian McCaffrey if McCaffrey only played 2 games a year.
