Hill didn't pass your "QB muster" test, but Payton still says he's a starting QB. Choosing Teddy and Winston over Hill only means that Payton saw them as better options at the time than Hill, it doesn't mean Payton doesn't see Hill as a starting QB.
Again, what we think doesn't matter to Payton at all. He's going to do what he wants to do. Based on everything he has consistently said and done, Hill will be the starter when he clears waivers.
What will be intersting to see is if those who accused others of hoping Winston would fail, will not hope that Hill fails. I suspect many of them will. Like I said before it should be hyps, not fans.
