Wouldn't it be something if Book ended up as the starter this season? I've been holding off with the Winston/Hill debate, both have strong points but both have their down side, gonna depend on what scheme Payton wants to run, Book though is a timed qb. more the way Payton has run things since he's been here. If Winston gets the start and throws int.'s or if Hill can't hit the wr.'s I think Payton will pull both of them, enter Book. The rookie is sitting in a pretty good spot right now.

Yeah but he won't.

Payton is letting each of them play with the 1's. I read somewhere before the season started that Hill and Winston would be alternating starts during preseason. So it's more like his turn.

Can't believe neither of these guys has made enough of an impact where this quarterback question isn't answered yet.

Might as well throw Book in with the 1's and see what he can do for crying out loud.

Terrell Owens has a better shot of playing time with the Saints this season.

I'll guarantee you the QB question is already answered. We just don't know the answer. Payton does.

Yeah, it would take something crazy like the starter to get hurt and the backup to struggle. Or even for 2 QBs to get hurt and the third backup is needed. But stuff like that never happens in the NFL. It’s not like a team would be forced to play with NO QBs or anything like that. Much more likely that a guy out of the league for years would get a shot over your third string QB.🤣

What exactly is the down side of each of the other two QBs? Please limit your answer to what has been seen in practice and games in the last 5 weeks.

Yes, injuries do happen, but I was addressing the chance of both Winston and Hill being benched because of poor play. I put that chance at 0%, the same as TO playing for us.

I was wondering the same. While neither are what you would call elite, from every indication both have been looking as good in camp as most starters across the league.
