List of Saints and their practice status today. (Thursday)

Nolan said

I'm aware of his lower completion percentage and struggles in the intermediate and short game, but he was still thriving in a lot of other categories in terms of touchdowns, turnovers, third down and red zone numbers.

I'm not saying it's a huge drop-off, but both guys are downgrades. It's not really a hot take. One was our starter, for good reason, and the other two are backups. It's not a slight against either Trevor or Taysom.

Winston had a high TD rate and low turnover rate.

However, Winston also had a bad completion percentage and the Saints were bad on 3rd down with only 32 / 85, both of those lead to not being able to sustain drives consistently. Winston play looks great in highlight reels, but it's also part of the reason that the Saints have struggled to be consistently productive on offense.

It remains to be seen if Hill is a significant downgrade in productivity from Winston or not. None of us know the future, so none of us know if Hill will be a downgrade for the team's production.

Before any of that though, none of us even know yet how many games Hill might or might not start.
