The New Orleans Saints have had the most intriguing backup quarterback battle in the entire NFL. It seems after every preseason week the underdog comes out with a stellar performance, making fans rethink who the Saints believe is Brees’ heir.
Now 40, the Saints, because they won’t get a top-tier pick in the next two years, must groom their next star quarterback. A future Hall of Famer, Brees’ legacy won’t continue for too much longer, although he could arguably still compete at a high level for two-to-three more seasons.
That said, after comparing Taysom Hill to former 49ers legend Steve Young, it appears the Saints may pick him as the team’s go-to backup quarterback.
