I doubt it. I have a feeling Savage will be Drew's backup. I'd like to see Barrett get more opportunities, but I don't see it coming.

Saintfan,

I do too but here is my reasoning on Barrett. JT has a good arm, solid pocket presence & he's got "I've played for a top 10 program" accuracy throwing into tight windows. I don't think he is ready, but he at least looks like he has the tools to get ready. Give the guy some extra reps & see if he can become the #2.

I don't disagree. After what I saw last week I'd give Barrett a real shot at #2. The kid looks savvy, and the two guys in front of him looked like poo.

Agree 100%. J.T. has those intangibles that are off the charts. It seems no situation is too big for him.

Accuracy can be taught, and he's already pretty darned accurate to boot. His command & the respect he carries as a rookie is unreal. You can't teach that. He can be developed b/c he grasps concepts so quickly as his football IQ is remarkable.

We've now seen Taysom in the big moment crumble under the expectations put on him. Sure it was 1 half & he can certainly rebound, but it's a bit unsettling if he's the #2 and being one hit away from commanding this offense in this division. Honestly I'd take J.T. over Taysom & Savage in that situation.
