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

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.

I would rather take hill and go 7-5 before his injury than take JT and go 4-12 on the season

Neither one is going to be Brees' successor because Brees will be playing for at least four more years. His successor is probably going through spring practices while preparing for his Senior season in high school.

Definitely! There is no way Drew's successor was in this draft even if we had Cleveland's candy jar. Even if Drew was hanging up his cleats! Not a great amount of talent available in the QB position this year.

I am intrigued with the idea of him switching to another position though. We could really use another WR or a CB!
