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”

Training camp will put a lot of questions regarding Taysom, JT etc to rest. I remember G Grayson (many thought he was the heir apparent to Brees) looking like a deer in headlights when inserted a couple of camps ago. He was totally lost outside the pocket.

IMO both will have to show up and show out @ camp to take Savage spot @ #2. A very capable back up with NFL starter experience.

I'm afraid this is the deer in the headlight we will all find when Brees retires. It ain't going to happen in the draft. We can only hope that some proven QB wants to travel to New Orleans for Payton.

Ohio State QB J.T. Barrett signs with New Orleans Saints

The reason for the stat difference which I pointed out in an earlier post is because Hill only played 37 games while JT's stats were based on 50. That's an entire season folks.

You also have to look at the talent level on both teams. Ohio state is only next to Bama in recruiting talent. BYU isn't even in the same paragraph.

We could go season by season. He never had a good year.

I'm a BYU hater but I gotta admit, Hill is the real deal when he's healthy. He's a great athlete and a very good quarterback. The only real knock against him is that he can't stay healthy. I think the label "injury prone" gets used way to much nowadays but in this case there's no way to describe him. I've only seen J.T. Barrett play a few times but I've never seen anything in him that compares to Hill.

All that said, if I had to pick between the two as a successor for Drew, I'd take Barrett because I don't think Hill could make it through an entire NFL season.
