I suspect Payton knew exactly who the starter was going to be weeks ago, but letting the "competition" play out was for the sake of the team chemistry. The team was seeing what Payton already knew. At the very beginning of training camp coach Charlie Weis stated this on NFL Radio. I think he nailed it.
