"Turning to Taysom Hill as New Orleans’ new starting QB was not an easy decision for Sean Payton, and not everyone in the organization agrees with it"

Sources: Payton struggled with Hill-Jameis choice

Sean Payton struggled with choosing the Saints' starting QB for Sunday before ultimately deciding on Taysom Hill, but multiple players and people within the organization thought Jameis Winston should have been the starter, according to sources.

"Sources" + ESPN = will not click

Of course there are people who disagree with his decision, but just like the large majority of people in this board they are on board with Payton's decision and will support Taysom as best they can.

I doubt he struggled with the decision. It’s been said that Taysom took starter reps all week. It’s not like it was an even split and he announced a starter on Friday.

Good read. Lays to rest all the "Sean not happy with Jameis lies". He is using this as an opportunity to see what he has in Taysom, knowing that he has Jameis right there. Get a clear picture of what he has.

I cant say I agree doing it in games that matter when TB are dang near even with us....but I understand.

As long as he dont let Taysom stay in there all game and throw it. We should know by halftime what we have in Taysom.

I hope

That dude Sources knows everything.

Too bad, the organization paid him a sizeable contract considering his role on the team. You, as an organization, believe that he's the heir apparent and have sung his praises at QB. They need to see what he can do with a full weeks worth of starting reps and being "THE GUY" for a few games. It would be stupid not to at least see what he can do when he's the man for a few games.

How would they even know? Lmao

That article is a whole lot of nothing and there are no quotes in it to suggest any type of tensions or issues in the lockeroom because of this decision. Pretty aggressive click-bait by Schefter.

They also spend the entire article saying "sources" told them this is Drew's last year. That is a guess. It's probably true, but it's a guess.

Oh good ESPN trying to start unneeded drama again...

Worst case scenario, Hill falls flat and Winston is put in and they have a cat and mouse game of QB subs.

They’re not dang near even with us when we have a 2-0 advantage on them head to head. We have over an 85% chance right now to win the South. It’s the perfect time to try anything he wants to honestly. But I do understand your point.
