And I'm sure Winston had a grasp of the playbook by week 11. But with far more time under his belt with the playbook, Hill was the logical choice to start those few games. Now the difference between Winston's and Hill's playbook knowledge would be negligible and Hills value as a versatile weapon tips the scale in Winston's favor of starting moving forward. And, I'm not sure what you are watching, but when has Hill ever shown he was better at playing QB than Winston? He has started four games in his entire NFL career. He managed to beat an Atlanta team with a horrible defense two of those games. He was the starting QB against a Denver team that had no QB's on the active gameday roster for another win. He lost to a poor Eagles squad in the other. He threw two picks and fumbled the ball FIVE times in his four starts. He has passed for FOUR TD's in his entire NFL career. What about any of that is impressive? ![]() |

You had me up to this statement. By what measure has Hill proven he is a better QB than a guy who has a 5,000 yard season and a positive career TD/int ratio? |

Re: Does the Saints locker room want Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill?
If it's close, even if Taysom is slightly better, the job is already Winston's to lose...
Taysom Hill has to not only wow Sean and the coaching staff, he's got to wow his teammates as well... And by wow means to leave little doubt this team's ceiling is higher with Taysom Hill under center... This is already a tilted competition, that's why Taysom has to not only do it better, but he has to be way better than Winston... |

Personally I have seen nothing from Hill that demonstrates that he has a greater ability to play QB than Winston. Nothing.
