Someone please provide solid analysis as to why Taysom can’t start for this team.

Because all you Breesus apologist just say is, “ he’s just a gadget guy, can’t throw, Tebows twin... blah blah but in the darkest deepest corners of your soul you know you are wrong but because it’s blasphemous to say anything bad about Drew you will continue to be in denial. The only things he doesn’t have is experience but I foresee Sean changing that sooner rather than later. He is going to force Sean’s hand because all he does is make plays.

Aka people with functioning brains

Maybe he can play, but it will never be near the level of what Brees played at this season. We'll need a great defense and we'll need to surround him with talent, which would also make Brees even better

This offense needs a receiver that can take a slant or crossing pattern to the house. We haven't had that in a bit

He was extremely injury prone in college. Truthfully he has never had a good deep ball, Brees at one point had an accurate deep ball even though his arm wasn’t strong. He may could have a good QB career, but there’s some skepticism.

He was a bad passer at BYU playing mediocre competition. Tough to become good in the NFL when you aren’t good in college.

It would be very foolish to go into training camp with Taysom as our starting QB...very foolish.

It could work out for us, but I think it would be unlikely.

It's not smart thing to do when you have a playoff roster.

He's reckless with his body to the point that he can get killed on every play. If he dials it back for longevity he won't be the same player.

Too slow of a release to be a consistent passer in the NFL.

Taysom may wind up being a starter here. I just don’t think he’s someone you settle with and don’t keep trying to get another one via high draft pick or FA. I don’t see him lasting 10 years in this league, he’s already late 20s. But if he’s someone that can keep the ball rolling till we get another QB that’s great.

I would love for Taysom to seamlessly take over for Brees or for him to be the white Lamar Jackson



But he’s not. He’s not a good thrower. He’s below average and while he definitely provides a spark to the offense, he wouldn’t be able to sustain the hits or do half the great shite he does for this team as the QB1.

So many pro level scouts here who can judge Hill off of so few snaps. Also a huge fallacy to argue he shouldn't get a shot because he can't last ten years. Who cares? You sign him to a friendly contract and see what he can do. If he's a good starting QB, and you get four or five years out of him, why is that a problem?

Kurt Warner burned out fast, but still won a title. Stop obsessing over finding some 15+ year replacement for Brees. The odds of that happening are remote. And just because you can't doesn't mean you keep nut-hugging Brees until you can. People need to accept the fact this team isn't going to the Super Bowl next season with or without Brees.

I don’t think he can be a successful starting qb in the NFL. I also can’t think of a single reason why he can’t be on the field for over 75% of offensive snaps.

There's nothing wrong with saying something bad about Brees, it's when posters come on here and straight up lie about stuff people get defensive. I have no problem with giving Taysom a shot.

I think he would be in the 20-25 range of starting QB's, but he provides so much more to the team in his current role. He is a force on special teams, can catch, can run, and when he is at QB he has started to make teams honest with his ability to throw. All of that goes away if he is our QB1.

At what time does this soon to be 30 year old QB with 13 NFL snaps to his name begin to develop as the successor to drew Brees?

Conversely, Drew was better this season than the previous two teams that flirted with the SB. Of course errors are magnified in a one and done and people become irrational, emotional etc.

Because Brees just had (by one metric) the 3rd best szn of all NFL qbs and good teams don't let a top 5 qb walk in lieu of a coin flip option at qb?
