For those who weren’t watching soccer on Monday evening however checked social media, you might need thought Taysom Hill and Sean Payton robbed a financial institution or one thing.

It’s actually not Hill’s fault that Payton retains utilizing him lengthy after the effectiveness of bringing him in as a Wildcat quarterback has worn off. However right here’s what occurs: The New Orleans Saints take the good Drew Brees off the sphere in a key spot, everybody is aware of Hill will run it, and so they cease it. It has been a bust all season.

It occurred once more on Monday evening. Hill got here in at quarterback on a third-and-3, he ran it straight forward and acquired stopped simply by the Los Angeles Chargers protection. The Saints then settled for a area aim.

And Twitter was indignant, my associates.

I feel Sean Payton is attempting to tank the season when he places in Taysom Hill. There is no different rationalization.

Oh, wait. T.J. Lang’s publish was from every week in the past. That is an ongoing drawback for the Saints and Payton.

Hill has had his moments. He’s an awesome athlete and good gadget participant. He had an enormous recreation in a wild-card playoff loss to the Minnesota Vikings final season. New Orleans gave him a two-year, $21 million deal this previous offseason, which speaks to how the Saints overvalue him.

Hill’s utilization was as soon as a enjoyable wrinkle, however now has grow to be predictable and rancid as Payton overused it.

And it doesn’t appear to be Payton goes to cease doing it.
