New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill thinks he can be a starting quarterback in the NFL.

With Drew Brees‘ future up in the air and Hill, who is known as the best utility player in the NFL, becoming an increasingly important player for the Saints, many have wondered if he could be the guy of the future in New Orleans. Whether he is or he isn’t, it sounds like Hill plans on finding a place to play that allows him to only play quarterback.

Hill said the following in a Twitter video posted by Rob Maaddi about his future:

I definitely view myself as a franchise quarterback…as you look at the other questions…Is it New Orleans? Is it somewhere else? As you go into free agency, this is the time you start to find out how people view you and we haven’t gotten into free agency long enough to know how these guys view me, and we’ll just handle it as it comes…I want to play quarterback in this league. If New Orleans don’t view me that way then I have to leave.

You can listen to his full comments below.

I think there’s a good shot Hill gets his chance to prove what he can do in New Orleans once Brees decides to hang it up.

That might not happen for another year, but it seems like things are trending in a direction that has Hill taking snaps as the starting quarterback for at least a little bit.

Teddy Bridgewater is almost certainly going to leave the Saints this offseason. That means Hill will become the primary backup to Brees if the legendary gunslinger returns.

From there, he’s be on the fast track to start once Brees retires. The Saints could give him a season to see if he has the goods and decide on the future from there.

The quarterback position is trending in a direction that favors Hill. He’s a great athlete, and he can extend plays with his feet.

That’s an incredibly valuable asset in the modern NFL. Hill has a bright future. Whether that’s with New Orleans or somebody else remains to be seen.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
