You'd rather talk about a QB who threw for 84 yards and barely got us past TAMPA? It's a juxtaposition considering an old passion of mine. I was laughed at by many banging the drum for Hill. To hear he's Payton's guy to be his next franchise QB while we're left barely hanging on due to that decision is vital to discuss on a Packers board.
Our management made the decision to keep Lenzy Pipkins over Taysom Hill because of the need our management created at that position and it's inability to fix it in the off-season. So, what we did is exactly what we do when we draft...we go NEED over TALENT. This is what need over talent looks like. Lenzy Pipkins buried on the depth chart unlikely to ever be a player for us vs. Payton ecstatic over getting a franchise QB via our mistake.
Sorry, about the 4.4 thing... I couldn't recall if it was 4.4 or 4.3 but recall them saying on the broadcast that he runs faster than Michael Vick and I recall Vick as a 4.3 guy. Just checked...Vick was 4.25 and they said he was faster.
TALENT is what this team needs. It doesn't go for TALENT...it likes these plain Jane players...I don't get it. Michael Clark has TALENT...size, hands and wingspan. Use it. Janis has world class speed and strength wasting away on ST's. Can't find a package of plays to utilize him in over all these years? We like these try hard guys over these game breakers.
Hill will be on my mind as we go forward. Can't wait to see what he does with the Saints over the years. It should hopefully be just another thing looking back that says we were mismanaged.
Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
