Project Taysom Hill

So he's a fairly talented quarterback. He's flashed some decent passing skills on tape. He started out learning the playbook and payton was looking at Hill as a year out project.
Come late season, payton wants to toy with his athletic ability on special teams. Was a cute story originally.
Hill's abilities were not a cute story, its a real skillset and his athletic ability is matched by few on this team.
Now we've possibly worked in some short yardage packaged plays for him that we've flashed once during the season.
We've put the ball in his hands on kickoffs and it was instant electric.
We have a deficiency in this offense in the tight end position mostly in the receiving game. We lack athleticism and playmaking ability from this spot. I see no reason why Hill can not be used in an H Back type tight end position.
My best NFL example could be Trey Burton'ish. There's a number of type of odd offensive alignments and packages that Hill would be outstanding either used as a runner from the backfield or reverses or simple route concepts.
Burton might have an inch on Hill and maybe 13lbs. Hill's strength is incredible and I think can handle the task an add an incredible threat along with MT, AK, and when MI comes back.

You can't have two Hills as TE's.

Not sure why Josh hasn't been able to make that next step in the offense. I had big hopes for him once upon a time, seems his time is up.

I’m very curious to see how Hill’s career shakes out.
Is he willing to do whatever it takes to stay in the NFL? QB is a tough gig to get. Can he learn another position?
He clearly has talent. I’m happy he is with the Saints I’ll say that.

he's clearly shown that he would. in a way, i think he's become a real spark/inspiration/dare i say leader on this team in some ways.

i mean, dude can flat out run, he has good vision, and has hands. Can you imagine having Hill running around on offense making plays from Drew and the defense would always have to respect hill's passing ability from anywhere behind the LOS.

Payton will find ways to use him. He’s a gadget. Has to be one of the more interesting players we’ve had here in a while.

Dudes gonna be an AAF Hall of Famer!!!

I love the package where he is brought in around the goal line as a run/pass threat.
Posted on 9/18/18 at 2:37 pm to Chad504boy
It's not the worst idea anyone's ever had. I'll give you that.
Posted on 9/18/18 at 2:56 pm to Chad504boy
The only offense we have is MT, Alvin and Ginn.
Sean has got to get this dude on offense in a legit scheme. Not some crap around the goaline either. Get him the ball out of the backfield in space. Let him line up down low as a TE and run a drag across the middle. I just know whenever he touches the ball something happens.

Wouldn’t it be badass to see Taysom become the new Slash Stewart

It's becoming increasingly apparent that he's too talented to keep off the field. We should definitely give me more opportunities at KR and see how that goes.
I like the idea of using him in the offense as a utility player though. Could play some TE, maybe some slot, possibly even HB. Just get him the ball and see what he can do. It seems like we probably have some redzone options with him at QB too which could be nice to set up RPOs.

I'm not sure he can catch or even block worth a lick, but you don't need him at TE or even H Back to take advantage of what he has to offer.
Line him up at QB in Wildcat on short yardage plays, or run RPO's with him. Put him in at tailback or slot and run dive plays or sweeps to him. There are a number of ways we can use this weapon that adds to the offensive war chest and doesn't require him to block or catch passes.

i mean you think he can catch kickoffs but can't catch a short crossing route or a screen type play?

Hill doesnt under throw Recievers the past 3 years.
His balls are like bullets with Zip.

did I say he couldn't? I only said that we don't really need him to. If you think he's an upgrade over Watson, then make him a TE. Otherwise, you have a completely unique backfield weapon that adds an entirely new dimension to the offense without asking him to do anything he isn't trained to do already.

And the first time he fricks up y’all will want Payton’s head
Trey Burton’s transition started in college. Hill is 27. We should not have to rely on hill for anything on offense. Everyone relax

frick up a wildcat run or an RPO?
Plays that high school kids run?
