As I can't see Brees coming back as his arm is shot, he's getting hurt and the Saints window for another title could be closing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm biased because I picked him up yesterday because Schultz and Burton have done next to nothing. I figured with Brees out, he may throw a few. I didn't expect this. I don't think many did. What if Payton is playing games and it's a 70/30 split with Winston? Like I said, tough spot. Edited November 20, 2020 by gomper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone he touches the ball, people want to point how much he sucks. He hasn’t exactly blown me away his play either but I can accept that he is what he is - a gadget player. I just don’t feel he should be as polarizing as he currently has been I don't know either. He's an explosive athlete who clearly loves the game. The dude is all smiles. Then I see the Tebow references and disparaging his Mormon religion and I think I can figure out the reason. Just watch the game and be entertained!

I don’t see anyone disparaging his faith. It’s a fact that QB’s who can’t throw the ball have a poor track record in the NFL. The Tebow comparison isn’t perfect, but it is there. I don’t know anyone hating on Hill because his faith, that’s simply untrue. Hill isn’t even outspoken about his faith in the same way that Tebow was. Everything about Hill as a person actually helps him fit the mold of an NFL fan favorite imo. He’s the perfect image of what the average NFL fan wants from a player, the only problem is his skill set at the QB position. Sean Payton is one of the few who see him as potential franchise QB material. Edited November 20, 2020 by SirAndrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo03 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I heard Taysom is listed as a TE in some fantasy platforms like Espn. If there are leagues that allow flexing a TE, that could be gold. A guy in a flex TE spot playing QB giving you QB numbers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t feel he should be as polarizing as he currently has been It’s just two schools of thought, and I understand yours. I just think many of us will never comprehend why you’d take one of the greatest QB’s of all time off the field for a backup. If I’m losing a game, I want it to be in Brees hands. I couldn’t live with myself as a coach if I lost a game because my backup QB fumbled, when it could have been in the hands of one of the GOAT’s. Hill takes the brunt of the criticism for Sean Payton’s need to be the smartest guy in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puts fantasy league commissioners in a tough spot. Using any free league can run into this problem. You just need your league to vote and accept, one player - one designation. If multiple exist it goes to highest, ie QB>RB>WR>TE. This problem has occurred before -back to Colston as TE days. And then again with Webb as a QB and WR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the appreciation that Payton has for Hill, there's every chance that they've been working on a gameplan for him in case Brees gets hurt. Something like the Pats/Texans game in 2016 when they had to start Brissett on a short week and went full triple option on them. Brissett went 11/19 but they had the Texans completely turned around with trickery. Quite whether you could do that sort of thing 3 weeks straight or not remains to be seen.
