I think Payton gave Hill his obligatory shot last year. He owes him nothing. He knows Winston is the guy. Won’t know if he’s a suitable replacement until we see him in action but I’m more optimistic with him at QB than I would be if it were anyone else. We got the best guy we can afford and the fact Winston took another one year deal says a lot.

The pundits are already predicting a record number of one year deals this off-season. We know the cap is going to skyrocket next season based upon the new broadcast rights predictions alone, the question is by how much. Thus the one year deals. It helps us as it gives us the test year with Winston, as well.
