Taysom Hill keeps looking good in practices, even with his two mistakes/sacks in the first preseason game. I'm hoping he gets the first backup spot.


Who is that? What team does he play for?


He was Special Teams for the Saints last season, but did take a couple snaps during games.

He ran some long ass returns on kickoffs.

My only fear for him is how injury prone he appears to be, got quite a few long injuries in college.

Well, return guys on special team can be prone to injury as well but it seemed like he survived last season without any major injuries. So hopefully he's good to go to be a quarterback, hopefully second string to Drew, and not have any injuries at all this season.

If it's where his heart is, I say go for it. Even after a 3rd string O-Line let him get sacked twice, he stepped up and made some great plays in the first preseason game.

I mean, he's always been a QB (Played 6 Seasons at Brigham young because he got 2 additional years of eligibility due to injuries). It was more of a "I want to make sure that I can keep a roster spot on this team" situation, and he's still been getting reps at QB, I guess. Hope the kid does well.

Okay, honestly, he can't just come out and say his QB sucks. Honestly, I think it's kind of funny, and no one should be taking it too seriously. The guy's a baller, and I think he's going to end up being the best corner of the post-Revis era, honestly. I hate Jacksonville with a passion, but Ramsey? He's a stud.

The Jags are more respectable in recent years. Blake Bortles, however, is still quite a lot lower on the QB totem pole than most of the guys Ramsey targeted.
