re: Taysom outplayed Teddy all preseason

Except for all the snaps Taysom gets in the regular season...

So two zone reads a game.

You obviously don't even watch the games. Thanks for stopping by.

This is such bull shite. He threw 14 td’s and 9 interceptions in sixteen games. He barely eclipsed 3k yards passing that season. He generated 9 total points, no touchdowns and less than 150 yards passing in the playoff game.

Why does no one talk about this? Why do people have this revisionist history of Teddy being some great QB?

After reading through this thread, it's clear everyone is frustrated and most want to see Taysom Hill.

But we're not thinking about what we lose if we put Hill under center. Hill is essentially a wild card for us on the field, a pure athlete, and he forces and/or finds mismatches. He's the kind of player that frustrates defenses. To remove him from that role right now and put him under center might hurt the overall offensive scheme.

Note, i think Hill is the future but it's probably going to take an offseason for Payton to scheme for Hill's skill set.

A fair point. But seriously even when we first signed Teddy and made him the highest paid backup in the league I had this feeling of being like "wait, wasn't he not that great as a starter? Eh. I guess I'm wrong. Cause Sean wouldn't do this unless there was evidence he'd be valuable."

But, in everything I've seen from him as a Saint he's just been very underwhelming and no different from most backups whether it's preseason or the 16th game last year. I really wish that money was invested into other positions.

No one is mistaking Teddy Bridgewater for Dan Marino. He was a legit starter for an NFL team for more than a year. Its about experience. His stats weren't good. He's terrible, the great white hope is so much better, etc. . . . . .

Question - did Teddy have a talented play caller like Sean Payton while he was in Minnesota? Was he in a wide open throwing offense? No. Different systems. Different expectations. So, those stats mean absolutely nothing - not to mention those are from like 5 years ago. Stop drooling on Taysom Hill. I like the kid too. He is not a full time QB. If he was truly better and offered a better shot for us to win then Payton would take him out of his gimmick role, and make him our starter.
