@fightphoe93 posted:In hindsight, the only guy that legitimately looked like a mistake in terms of the Pack giving up on too early was Taysom Hill. He is a good backup QB that can keep you competitive if Rodgers is out. Some other QBs the Pack has tried as backup have not been good enough to keep the team afloat (i.e. Brett Hundley).
I just don't see anything in Hill. Yes, he's athletic. But he's 32 years old and has less than 300 pass attempts in his career. He had a few nice games in 2020, 2 of them against really shitty teams but for his career his numbers look like just a guy. When Brees was still around Hill wasn't even a backup. He was a 3rd string guy that would get some TE snaps and occasionally come in for a play that required throwing a ball farther than Brees was capable of doing or some goalline Tim Tebow type action. Speaking of Tebow, that's pretty much what I see in Hill. An athlete without a true position.
Now if keeping Hill would have meant they felt good enough to not use a first round pick on Love in 2020 then it would have some value.
