Hill vs Siemian why is there a debate?

It wasn't just headlines. Like Stalwart385 said just above here, there were camp reports of Jameis looking better one day and Taysom looking better the next. In the tweet I posted earlier in this thread, Nick Underhill said at the time that every reporter who was at every practice had it as too close to call. People's opinions can vary, but I think Nick has shown to have a large amount of fairness and integrity in his reporting. Were all the various reporters lying - a part of a conspiracy - with their reporting of how close the camp battle was? That would seem like a really far out there take.

I never said nor was I implying that you said anything bad (on a personal type level) in regard to Taysom when he got injured. That was just to mention no one stooped to the "I bet my fellow Saints fans are glad that someone on the team got injured" mentality that some have tried to cast here now on those who may not have been incredibly enthusiastic over Jameis as THE guy going forward.

We are where we are now though. Jameis is unfortunately done for the season, the trade deadline has passed, and now it's either Taysom's or Trevor's time step in as the new starter, hopefully with very positive results.
I understand the headlines, I'm saying the headlines made some people overlook the actual performance and in that category, Jameis was better. I know the back and forth narrative, it's like the horse race polls in politics. Here are the numbers from camp:
• Taysom Hill: 9 completions in 15 attempts with one touchdown in full team drills. He also rushed for a touchdown. 143 for 220 and 6 interceptions in camp as a whole.

• Jameis Winston: 9 completions in 15 attempts with one touchdown. 155 for 235 with nine touchdowns and four interceptions in camp as a whole.

Nevertheless, this is all a mute point now and Taysom will get another chance to earn the job. It's Sean call and I'm cool with that.
