Seems clear to me that, much as I like Hill, the job goes to Winston. He's earned it with both his play AND his attitude over the last year +.

His issues have always been in his head more than in his style of play. Definitely pulling for him the kid could be as good as any and better than most.

I’m in the same boat. He outplayed hill and deserves to start. It makes me sick to say it because I’ve disliked him all the way back to college.

Redemption stories are what New Orleans should know/love best.

Winning the job of leading a group of elite athletes is only the beginning.

I can't wait to see how this team, these fans and this city responds!

Payton is still splitting the practice reps. Apparently Payton is giving Hill every opportunity to win or lose the QB battle. Poor fella. He looked deflated on his birthday Monday night and I think that it had an effect on his play under center.

Not having the first string offensive line and receivers didn't help either...

Though I certainly understood sitting Callaway early...

It was the other way around the first game and Winston still looked better. To be honest, neither has looked bad. Both are quite capable of being successful with Payton guiding the ship.
