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.
