Saints pull QB shocker with Taysom Hill over Jameis Winston
By Ryan Dunleavy

November 20, 2020 | 12:22pm

Here’s the definitive proof that the Saints are not bluffing about Taysom Hill’s bright future at quarterback.

Hill, not Jameis Winston, is expected to start Sunday for the Saints against the Falcons, according to multiple reports. The widespread assumption was that Winston would inherit the job with Drew Brees sidelined, just as he replaced Brees in the second half of last week’s game.

But coach Asshole Face has an infatuation with the versatile Hill, who takes snaps as a Wildcat quarterback even when Brees is healthy. Hill, 30, will make his first career start at quarterback after making 13 starts at other positions in his first 46 career games.

Hill is 10-of-18 passing for 205 yards with an interception during his career. Compare those numbers to his career numbers as a rusher and receiver – 98 carries for 538 yards and four touchdowns plus 28 catches for 312 yards and seven touchdowns.

The Saints were mocked for signing Hill to a two-year, $21 million extension in April, but that would be a bargain for a starting quarterback.

Winston, the former No. 1 overall draft pick, signed a one-year contract worth $1.1 million after going 28-42 in 70 career starts for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Winston wanted to learn through osmosis from the ideal dynamic of Payton-Brees and possibly have a leg up on replacing the NFL’s all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns if Brees retires at season’s end.

But the Saints were forced to reveal a true pecking order when Brees suffered fractured ribs and a collapsed lung.

It is possible that Hill and Winston will split snaps in the game, with Hill getting the start in a run-based package. But Hill reportedly took the bulk of the starter reps in practice this week and the two quarterbacks thrive in very different offensive gameplans, so that would be a big task for coaches and teammates to adjust on the fly.

Surprised this isn’t a thread yet to be honest, maybe I missed it.

I’m pretty intrigued about how this will go for the Ain’ts. They are in the thick of it for the #1 seed and with Brees hurt they could be dropping out of the race fairly quickly.

I have a feeling a Hill lead offense is gonna be hella gimmicky, but maybe he can run a traditional offense. My bet is this experiment lasts only a week or two.

How the mighty have fallen. From number one overall pick to the infamous "eat a W" all the way down to the third string.

Either way I’m guess they are splitting snaps.
Not a dead even split by butthole mouth will keep them guessing.

Winston was a draft day whiff for me. I thought he would grow up and become a good QB. I rarely endorse a guy with character concerns. I doubt I’ll do it again.
That being said: I think either QB is a lose/lose for Payton.

Good! Teach that disgusting idiot Winston to keep his fingers out of his mouth. That shit is gross.

Also, they both suck. Brees better get back...soon.

I'm sure just trying to create chaos in game planning for them but either way I hope whatever they do is a total and complete disaster.

Hill will look good for a game or two then defenses will start eliminating his strengths and he'll suck ass.

If this is some king of gamesmanship, it is likely to backfire horribly. Winston would likely need first team reps to be successful, and apparently those are all going to Hill.

This is one of the most weird “stories” or how the hell do you describe this?

Tasom Hill and the Saints...

What the fuck is this?

This sounds like one of those situations where Asshole Face over thinks it and outsmarts himself.
Kind of like passing in the redzone in the playoffs, when all you have to do is run down the clock and kick a field goal.

For all you Fantasy players...

My son just showed me that his league apparently allows you to play Hill as a TE or a QB. He noticed that and picked him up earlier this week. He's playing Hill at TE on his team and he's playing a real QB too. Seems like a savvy move... since he'll be able to score points just like a QB at the TE position.

There’s something about that Hill that I really dislike. Might be the fact he’s a bit of a busy baby door. Hope he fails miserably.
