Payton knows how to get the most out of a QB though. Maybe not at Andy's level, but not that far off either. hell, he made Jameis look like a credible starter again. Shit, he made Taysom Hill look like a serviceable QB, and that guy's a TE, for crying out loud.
Taysom Hill has never looked like a serviceable QB, that's revisionist history, he was Tim Tebow light and a gadget player at best. [Reply]

Guess it depends on your definition of 'serviceable.' According to StateMuse, Taysom's career record as a QB is 48-17, for a 73.8% winning percentage. As a passer, he's very average/below average, but obviously he's a better option than Tebow (40% career winning percentage). Taysom was also more accurate/consistent, with a 64% Completion rate, while Tebow's was 48%. [Reply]

Andy would've gotten significantly more out of him. Maybe even gotten him to be basically a poor man's McNabb? Andy would've made use of his legs, and designed plays/game-plans that minimized Tebow's weaknesses as much as possible, but maximized what he was good at. That's not much to work with as far as passing is concerned, but Andy would've found a way, I'm certain. [Reply]
