    You could have picked a white guy with jizz on his hands.

    No way Etling stays at WR they are cross training him to keep him on the team, just my hunch.

    I'm talking about the versatility. They've moved to WR and thrown an occasional pass, but instances of a guy who can contribute in so many different ways as HIll are rare, and the NFL is a copycat league.

    Once again, its not as RARE as you want to believe..This has been going on LONG before taysom hill..its called the "SLASH" position..Pittsburg and New England among other teams have been doing this very same thing for years...

    Blazing back in your day of leather helmets and no facemasks, but there are lineman that run faster in today's game. :D

    OK, so you're giving me two examples, one of which is from 20 years ago. And I'm not talking about college QBs who change positions. The Saints still list Hill as a quarterback, and he takes multiple snaps as a QB every game, in addition to lining up in the slot, as a wide out, and on every special teams. Stewart's the closest example you can give; Tebow could have made a career of this if he hadn't been so insistent on being a traditional QB. No one is using a backup QB to such versatility as the Saints are doing now.
