LMAO at people who would hate to have Lamar Jackson because he’s a running QB but then think Taysom Hill is the future.

Re: 3 reasons the Saints should be excited about undrafted free agent J.T. Barrett

UDFA QB's (Taysom Hill) who play on special teams becoming good starting QB's ... pretty much never.

It will be interesting to watch this preseason but Hill is not the heir apparent unless he shows out in the next year or so.

Could well be Savage on the cutting block come September.

Or one of the youngsters will be IRd

Meanwhile NE drafted an LSU QB, yes.... Danny Etling. I wonder what they see in him no one else sees.

He'll be parking in Pete Carmichael's spot in a few years instead. You may hate Urban Meyer, but it'd be a numbskull move to open your mouth to argue that he doesn't know what he's doing. He keeps saying that J.T. has the head coach gene like none other he's seen.

As far as off the field issues go, he had a run in for underaged drinking. Totally owned it right away, no blaming anyone else or getting it swept under the rug. He paid his penalty and willingly sat through his suspension coaching and encouraging his replacement all the way. He's got the heart of a Saint.

I watched a lot of him play to up here in Ohio and I can't say I was all that impressed. Yeah he won but I would say that was more of the team around him won those games. The simply have so much talent on every position its hard not to win games.

The one knock on him is that he has below average arm strenght.

Perhaps he can take Hill's spot so Hill can spend more time with the QB's now.

I would've taken Jackson in a heartbeat. I think he could've been a very good QB for many years. I love a QB that can run with authority and hence my favor of Hill. I've thought all along he will be the one sorta like Neo but only time will tell.

Re: 3 reasons the Saints should be excited about undrafted free agent J.T. Barrett

Well the frint office obviously like him.
Just signed tbe kid to a three year deal

There is no way in hell JT is near Hill's level. I grew up in Ohio and still follow the hated Buckeyes closely. The dudes arm is pure trash. Ask any true OSU fan. They will tell you if not for him they would of won 3 straight championships.

Re: 3 reasons the Saints should be excited about undrafted free agent J.T. Barrett

I really don’t get why everyone is so high on Hill. Has he taken a snap at Qb for us? If he played last preseason he didn’t make an impression good enough for me to remember The only thing I know about Hill is that Payton keeps making a point my to say he is good. Almost too much of a point. Other than that I haven’t seen anything on him that leads me to believe he is any good at Qb. Other than “I heard”
