I'm the biggest Book supporter you will find and I agree with this. Winston needs a stretch of at least 5 games to show what he can do in this system. I think Hill is at his best when he is only used at QB for a few plays or a series where he has full energy and can really be a dual threat weapon without worrying about pacing himself. That being said, I can understand Payton being vague - keep the Packers guessing what they will be looking at in week 1.

QB looks like it will be a tight competition for second place.

I think Book will beat out Hill for QB2. Then again, that would partially be because of Hill's value as the Swiss Army knife.

Ian is going to hold the clip board & sport a backwards baseball cap all season long ... assuming he cracks the final roster.

Hill
By far played the best of the two. JW was slow on release and held the ball as long as AB use too. It’s hills to lose at this point. Wouldn’t be surprised it JW is released or traded before the season

Yes, but you have an admitted bias Voo . NFL network has the game on Monday morning I believe. I’ll watch it then.

No bias here. If JW was the best option I’d go with him. He failed at simple swing passes. He is no longer a starting qb.

Maybe bias is the wrong word. But you have said even before this game that you don’t think Winston can cut it. Pardon me if I say it COULD be that you are seeing what you want as reinforcement. It doesn’t seem like Hill did anything more outstanding with the first string than Winston did with the second. I’ve not seen the game, but saying he’s cut before the season seems a little extreme.
