Those were the three I was thinking about mainly. The other was Malcolm Jenkins.

Winston is the Saints future

They started Taysum last year to see what he was made of and to hide Jameis

May the best man win! I don't have a dog in this fight. When Winston got here I was totally against him playing QB for the Saints. I wanted my man Hill to win it. But upon further reflection I think Winston may be able to fix some of his issues and Payton can fix a few more. If so Winston has the potential to at least be a transitional QB while Payton continues to look for what amounts to Drew's replacement.

Hill excels at his Swiss army knife role and does it better than anybody in the NFL. I like him in that role and if he loses the nation will still enjoy watching him do his thing on game day. May the best man win win!

What good is having a Swiss Army knife if you don’t get any qb play? I say give him a chance. If he wins the competition good for him. If not, go back to playing every position in the field. I do however feel at this point I’m their career he is better than JW.

What has Hill shown in his professional career at QB that makes him better than Winston? Guess which has four career TD's passing and which has 121.

He certainly wasn't anywhere near as good in college as was Winston and played against far inferior opponents.

Hill ------- 37 games, 58.2% completion, 43 passing TD's, 31 picks, 32 rushing TD's
Winston - 27 games, 66.0% completion, 65 passing TD's, 28 picks, 7 rushing TD's

I remember someone claiming that Taysom broke all of Steve Young's BYU records. While looking at college numbers I discovered that Taysom doesn't own any BYU records. In fact, Steve Young only owns one record himself and that's for season passing percentage at .713. Ty Detmer, John Walsh, and Jim McMahon own most all of the others.

Steve Young

Taysom Hill

Taysom had a couple of years where he didn't play much do to injuries,

I can’t believe I’m going to say this because normally I think this line of thinking is crap, but It almost makes one wonder if there is a racial component to the way people are writing him off and ignoring his accomplishments.

That is glaringly obvious, Boston. That line of thinking IS crap, but it is absolutely real.

There are enough black QBs starting and being given a chance in the league for me to accept that as a certainty. The Saints has no problem with Brooks or Blake starting. Winston is just being thrown in the same group with guys like Trubitski, Darnold, and Rosen. What I can’t figure out is why when he’s better than them.
