He now needs to prove that potential when given the opportunity. There are tons of NFL gurus who have stated that TH was the best player on the field during the Saints/Vikings playoff game....they are not idiots. Players on the field that particular game included Brees, Cousins, Michael Thomas, etc. That is evidence he has the potential to be/do something special on the football field.
Now if you want a definition of idiots, that would apply to "certain" Ute fans (some even on this board) who said Taysom wasn't talented enough to play in the NFL
