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.

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!
