Taysom Hill considers himself a franchise QB, would leave Saints for 'right opportunity'

[Robotech]

He's like a bigger Kordell Stewart. I love the change of pace and it's great entertainment every time he touches the ball, but I have a hard time seeing him run an offense for the entire game.

I always heard self praise is better than no praise, guess Hill heard that as well.

I consider myself a misunderstood genius with a 8" donk. At the end of the day neither of us is correct

For $30 million/year all of us consider ourselves franchise QB material. For anyone who plays the position at that level, it would be foolish not to say this.

 

[fastforward]

This has little or nothing to do with Hill being a potential starting QB. This is simply a fluff piece that acts as a heads-up to Saints fans that Hill will likely be subject to a 1st round RFA tag. Hill could potentially be offered $4M+ per year as a back-up QB or 'slash' player. It makes some sense for the Saints to tag him for now, (with $0 guaranteed), and offer him a less generous contract later in preseason.

...oh, and Hill gets to say that he'd like to play QB because as a QB he 'might' have more value. Whatever. Heads-up noted.

Brain injuries messing with his ability to think.

I Taysom hill is so good. If the saints truly viewed him as a successor to brees. Why was bridgewater starting?

The dude is about to be 30 years old and has thrown 13 career passes, hitting on 6 of those with 0 TD and 1 INT. He was a 26-year old NFL rookie who suffered four (FOUR!) season-ending injuries in college. He should be grateful the Saints are making him a part of their gameplan and utilizing him as they are. He's a gadget player, not a starting QB.

Pretty much this. That guy should take his millions and enjoy being a cult hero in New Orleans. Stay there the rest of his life and never have to buy another drink. If he even drinks.

Oh please let some sucker team sign a 30-year-old with 13 career passes and no passing TDs to a franchise QB deal.

The bears seem like a viable option.

Hill will be a starting QB within the next season or two.

Odds? I would bet any Sports Book would give you 20-1 and laugh as they're taking your money. Taysom Hill will never be a starting QB, there are practice squad players that are better options.

He's a slick gadget player, but he's no starting QB.

He actually reminds me of what I thought Eric Crouch could become if he had decided to set aside his pride.

All I can think of is Teddy is a QB.

I don't want to take your money. Plus I doubt that you'd actually pay up. It's never smart to gamble with strangers online.

not real money...vCash...and yes, I always pay up. But to be honest, I rarely lose. Cleaned up this past post-season. 4 avatar bets and took all their money.

I'm saying Hill will be a starting QB this upcoming season or the next (most likely in NO).
I'll wager your entire $3000 vCash on it. Keep your made up 20-1 odds...straight up.

And 3 month avatar bet.

You in?

If Kevin Kolb and Matt Flynn can get the deals they got, I'm sure Hill will get a look from some pathetic franchise.
