It was tough to tell with each QB working against two teams of different defensive strengths. It’s gonna be even more strange without the 3rd preseason game.

Opening opponent in Green Bay is obviously a tough one. Let’s hope the fans and the team get it done.

Don’t quote Guido. The last thing we need is a bunch of Guidoisms flying around the board.

That's exactly what we need.

Personally I find the fact Winston wasn’t the clear leader from the first day of camp a little frightening.
He’s head and shoulders above Taysom but if you believe the reports coming out of camp he was pretty hot and cold, like he’s always been. I hope he can find consistency but those TDS he made against Jacksonville were pretty typical of him but usually they’re followed up with a couple interceptions a few series later.

Most every QB across the league was hot and cold during early training camp. It's pretty much par for the course. And don't forget, Winston is in a completely different sort of offense and he also has a completely different frame of mind. I do not expect turnovers to be an issue at all.

As for being a clear leader, that depends upon point of view. I feel Payton knew exactly who was the clear leader even though Hill was given every possible chance. Besides, Hill is quite capable of starting in the NFL. They both looked good overall. I don't see him being anywhere near as effective as Winston, however.

There was never a moment during this off-season or preseason where I wondered if Hill might win the job. It was clear to me as soon as we resigned Winston that this was his job. Besides him being the FAR superior QB, Brees told him it was his time, and the leaders of this team all seemed to allude to wanting Winston to be the starter. The “battle” was a waste of time. People on this forum aren’t enthusiastic about Winston because they don’t like him as a person. Some people reference 2019, but the likelihood of him ever throwing that many interceptions again isn’t very high at all. I’m more excited about this season than any of the ones we’ve had in a long time. We can finally be explosive again.

Right there with you, Rez! Shock and Awe, baby! As huge a fan as I am of Drew Brees his abilities over the past few years severely limited this offense. That's hard for me to admit, but we all know it is true. Winston, by far, is the better option of the two to make our offense feared again. Couple that with an offense that is easily among the best in the league and this will truly be an exciting future.

20-0 Baby!
