John Fourcade looked like a world beater cleaning up in the last minutes of the fourth quarter in PreSeason; then reality hit against the ones...
Exactly. Lets not forget that one of his Ints hit the receiver in the hands and another was basically a hail mary. He did not look comfortable at all though.

True Dat! He still looks good with his delivery. It needs some work and I hope he gets more playing time than Savage to work on his accuracy and find out if it was just nerves.

Obviously he could have run a lot more but he stayed in the pocket and delivered the ball like Payton told him to so we could get better film on him. When he did run he was successful and picked up a first down and more.

The fumbles can be fixed with the coach grilling him and working on the hand off and QB keeper. How large are this kids hands anyway?

I decided to look this up and I believe Taysom Hill might just have the smallest hands of any QB in the league at 8 3/4”. This would probably help explain the fumbling.

If he doesn't make it in the NFL he'd be a good candidate for President.

I’m not sure if J.T. Barrett is the QB of the future, but I tried to tell people he was a better QB than Taysom Hill based on their college careers and people argued me down. Barrett was very successful in college. You put J.T. Barrett on LSU and they win several championships. He’s used to the big moments.

If hill is this bad at this point on his career, he's never going to develop. Done, over, move on from that concept. Noce to keep for his ST play and if you ever needed an emergency in a game

One game? He's not played in live game in what two seasons? Need to calm down and pump the brakes...

Bro anything is possible, but how can we really draw a conclusion that he is going to be the QB of the future based off of that. Not gonna happen.

This Lawrence dude keeps making plays and might be a nice surprise.
