One of the things that stood out in Payton’s press conference was his comment that Siemian is a cerebral QB who remains dialled in at all times. It’s clear why Payton rates him as a backup. He never loses focus and doesn’t need a lot of reps to hit his stride, even if his QB play overall is quite pedestrian.
My sense is that Payton is 100% committed to Hill if he’s healthy. But part of me would like to see what Trevor can do as a starter for a few weeks with Taysom working back into his joker role. Mainly because we just don’t have any weapons on offence and Taysom gives us an extra target while Trevor will only ever be a traditional QB.
