Saints should give Taysom Hill a chance to see if he can get something going at quarterback

If the Saints have grown cold on Ian, they would cut him or waive him to try to get him onto the practice squad. There are limited (53) roster spots and the Saints can certainly use them all given the major influx of injuries.

One thought I have considered is that perhaps Payton has high confidence in Book, but does not want to add him into the QB controversy for this year or next by putting Book on the field now. Maybe he wants Taysom to have his shot at the starting gig (albeit in an injured state).

Regardless of you are are a Book supporter or a detractor, it is perplexing.

I simply think they don't feel he is anywhere near ready yet. I feel Taysom gives us the very best shot at winning at this point. I suspect Payton feels the same way.

Book's former coach is now the main man at LSU. We now need to start Book at QB to achieve Louisiana solidarity

.

IMO whenever he does play, it's very likely to me he will become the guy and we'll wish we would have done it sooner.

I sincerely hope you are right.
