Hill will be the #2.no one wants to give this kid the credit he deserves.

Our fans did not want to draft Lamar Jackson b/c he was a 59% passer last season and 57% overall in college

Taysom Hill is 27 y/o, was a 58% career passer in college, hasnt thrown a meaningful pass in an NFL game and some think he's the "heir apparent"

Tom Savage is a 57.5% passer in the NFL, has thrown 5 TDs in 315 pass attempts and some think he's firmly entrenched as our QB2

JT Barrett is a 63.5% college passer w/ big game experience and a 104:30 TD to INT ratio

bottom line is we are screwed if Drew goes down, but JT Barrett may be our most competent option considering his accuracy in the short game and his ability to run. SP may be able to game manage him to a few Ws if needed, considering our OL, run game and defense
